Rumors of Apple's smart watch have been floating around for years, but this year it might actually become a reality. Here's what we've heard about the rumored "iWatch" so far.

The watch is rumored to be using an OLED display manufactured by LG. As for size, we've heard anything from 1.5 to 2.5 inches being thrown around as potential numbers. It might be hard to put sizes like that into perspective, but consider that 40mm, a common diameter of a watch face, and here it is in a few different examples, is equivalent to only 1.5 inches, so 1.5 to 2 inches is a good ballpark probably.

On top of the display, we should be looking at either Corning's Willow Glass, made specifically to be compatible with curved displays, or Sapphire, since Apple recently began rapidly ramping up production of Sapphire screens. The watch face is suggested to be either a curved OLED screen OR a circular shape, like the Moto 360. Although who knows, maybe the device with the curved display is a fitness bracelet and the one with the circular display is the actual iWatch. Either way, you can guarantee fitness is going to be a big talking point on this device, and rumors have suggested upwards of 10 sensors inside the device. These would be used to track everything from your movement to your pulse as you go about your day.

When should you expect the iWatch? Either during the iPhone 6 reveal this September, or at a private event shortly after in October, according to all sources. And in terms of price, estimates place the price of the device in or around $200. What do you guys think, are you excited for the iWatch?
