There is a rumour that Apple is to release an new wrist Smartphone watch called the iWatch, no one really knows if or when this new iWatch will be released but Apple may follow other watches of the nature.
According to ex-Nike man and watch designer Scott Wilson, design guru Jony Ive took his team to visit watch factories and ordered boxes of "a sports watch" made by Nike back in the early 2000s.
That was well before Nike's Fuelband hit the mainstream, but the two companies are close. Like, really close: never mind Apple CEO Tim Cook sitting on Nike's board of directors and wearing a Fuelband day in day out, Apple has reportedly hired Ben Shaffer (previously innovation leader at Nike) and Jay Blahnik, a health and fitness instructor who consulted on the Fuelband for Nike.
