So much hype has been created to drum up the arrival of the Apple Watch, which does not come out until March this year. To let users get a feel of what the most-awaited device from Apple would look like, an emulated Apple Watch had been created, which they could try on their web browser.

The interactive demo was created as an advertisement by the company behind the news app Pipes, reports The Next Web. It lets users test drive the Apple Watch without having to download the application.

The demo, which includes the basic app bundles, showcases a number of mockups such as Instagram and Google Maps.

The virtual Apple Watch remains to be the artist's impression, as it was not approved by Apple.

On 9to5Mac, it was reported that the wearable device is expected to go on sale by the end of March. According to a source, Apple is set to hold an extensive training program to let its employees familiarize themselves with its new product.

With only months leading to the release of the Apple Watch, the company has been improving its OS and testing the lifespan of the device's battery.

The device was originally supposed to come out last year, but the company experienced unexpected delays in software development that pushed its release a little further.

The Apple Watch will be released in three collections: Standard, Sport, and Edition. It will also come with other distinct designs.

Apple has only revealed the pricing for the metal and glass sport model, which is pegged at $349. However, rumors have it that Apple will be selling the stainless steel and sapphire crystal standard model around $500. The gold version, meanwhile, might be sold for more than a thousand dollars.

The features of te Apple Watch are something to look forward to. In an overview presented by Apple, the company promises high-quality watches that could be synced to an iPhone. Wearing the device, users would feel a gentle tap when they receive a message.

The device is the perfect companion for users who like to keep their physical activities in check. Apple Watch monitors your all-day activity and measures the quantity of your movement, such as the number of steps the user has taken. Gym-goers would enjoy the device because it recommends exercises to take.

Moreover, buying coffee and items at the grocery would no longer be a problem with this device. Apple Watch lets users purchase items without having to take cash or a card out with Apple Pay. This app could be used at hundreds of stores in the U.S.
