Apple followers and new users alike are still waiting for the company's next big releases. There are reports of new smart phones coming out very soon. However, Apple fanatics are pretty much intrigued of the new Apple Watch 2.

With so many rumors about the Apple Watch 2 release, recent reports lead to a March launching of the much awaited product. It was previously speculated a couple of months ago that it will come out Sept. 2016. However, Mark Gurman, a self-proclaimed Apple insider, told that the new watch will be available on the third month of the New Year, as reported by Yahoo! News.

Nevertheless, Gurman's bold revelation was refuted by Matthew Panzarino of Tech Crunch who said that the Apple Watch 2's production will not be completed in April. He added that the new Apple product will have newer casings and a much improved battery feature.

Apple has not issued any statement with regard to the contrasting reports.

In a report by Tech Crunch, the company has not shown any movement that would indicate a new release.

Ben Bajarin, a Creative Strategies analyst, said that there is currently no production of the new Apple Watch 2.

"With the supply chain cuts from the usual suspects of Apple component providers, the timing does seem suspect for a new product given orders would have taken place in the latter part of 2015 if a new product is shipping first half of 2016," he said.

He added that they would have found out if there are movements in production when it comes to the release of the new watch. However, as of this moment, they could not see any that would lead into that direction.

According to Panzarino, Bajarin statement supports his observation.

"I'm also not hearing any major action on the software side of a new Apple Watch model. Shipping hardware well in advance of a even beta software that developers can use to take advantage of new features isn't something that usually turns out well," Panzarino said.

It appears that people will have to wait until the company releases an official statement with regard to the release. The company may have thought of providing current Apple Watch customers a longer cycle, considering some of them paid large amount when it came out.

There are also rumors that the new Apple Watch 2 will cost customers more than $1000, according to a report by Wareable.

Some people may find that expensive but some Apple followers think that the price is fair, considering it will be the best smart watch available when it finally comes out.
