As the Apple Watch nears its launch date, news and rumors on Apple's first wearable device have picked up steam. Most recently it was announced to be
featured on the March cover of Self magazine on the wrist of model and Victoria's Secret Angel Candice Swanepoel.
Apple has also reportedly placed between

most expensive gold Apple Watch Edition expected to dominate the revenue of the wearable, despite having the least amount of orders placed compared to the lower tiers of the Watch.
