Early adopters, set your alarms. The iOS8-operated Apple iWatch will be released in October, MacRumors reported, citing Japanese business newspaper Nikkei.
It will likely feature biometric sensors that collect calorie consumption and sleep patterns, the report noted, and users will be able to look at a circular watch face to read their pulse.
The iWatch may come in two separate sizes, 1.3 inches and 1.5-1.7 inches, and will likely work with the iOS8 Health app, MacRumors wrote.
