On top of this, Apple stores have seen the installation of special safes to store the more luxurious gold plated model we’ve already mentioned. The devices with the plating are rumored to be priced in the thousands, so the heightened security is a must for the storage of such pricey devices.

Apple Pay partners are reportedly at the forefront of these developers, hoping to get the biometrically verified payment system ready for day one usage.
High end and big name developers have already got their hands on the development tools for apps on the watch, either through public release of the relevant tools or early access to the software through Apple. February 12th has been thrown around recently as the deadline for releases of apps for the Apple Watch on Apple’s App Store.
With so many models already in testing and apps for the device on the way, that predicted March release looks more and more likely. We’ve not heard much in the way of changes coming to the Apple Watch following the announcement of the device last year, but from what was detailed the features of the device are expected to be much more diverse than the previewed few we’ve seen.
