Prior to its announcement back in September of last year, the tech world was still aware of Apple's efforts to introduce a wearable, and while Apple Watch is no longer a big secret, the company did well to keep most of the interesting stuff under wraps until announcement. Providing a wide range of functions, one of Apple Watch's main assets is its ability to track fitness and health data, but preparing its concerted push towards the lucrative wellbeing has taken a lot of research in preparation for the mass market. Indeed, the secretive Apple Watch health lab has been integral to readying what will hopefully transpire as a refined fitness companion, and having remained an enigma for so long, we now get our first peek at what exactly goes on behind the closed doors.

Apple Watch has definitely piqued the curiosity of the tech world, and while a sizable number of individuals seem to either be completely sold or staunchly against the product, the proverbial fence is creaking under the strain of undecided individuals. It's a good thing, then, that Apple is allowing consumers to head on down to their local Apple Retail Store during the two weeks prior to launch to check it out, and where the Spring forward media event announcement indicated that an appointment would be necessary for anybody looking to go hands-on with the wearable, it now seems that prior booking will not be mandatory.
When it comes to the packaging of its hardware, Apple’s train of thought seems to reflect that of the devices themselves. Where the company is embroiled in something of a battle with the rest of the industry to continually downsize the likes of the iPhone and MacBook, it also seems locked in a more personal effort to reduce packaging, which often saves money and spares the environment in the process. The Next Big Thing out of Cupertino will be the Apple Watch, which is slated for launch on April 24th, and now, we may have a glimpse of some packagings of the wearable.
