Apple has long promised that its first wearable, the Apple Watch, arrives early in 2015. The exact date wasn't specified, but according to International Business Times. the Cupertino giant is reportedly planning to release the wearable in March.

That would be bad news for those expecting a January purchase, but good times nevertheless continue to roll. Apparently, you can try the Apple Watch right now -- and this is no rumor of any kind.

Thanks to Pipes' developers, prospects can now get a glimpse and take a tap at the Apple Watch. Of course, the demo comes to a certain extent, but it's good enough to give prospects a first-hand navigation experience.

For those who may not know, Pipes brands itself to be the world's first news application that helps users track things that suit their interests. One gets to create his own "Pipe" with a unique blend of his own preferred news feed, saving time on trends he really care about.

Meanwhile, the Apple Watch demo's apps were laid out in circular icons, and they may be tapped just like in real life. To start with, the demo allows users to tap the Digital Crown in order to get into Home screen. This is where apps are visibly located.

A smaller Settings circle is situated leftmost, while weather status is provided on the other side. We expect to see more flexibility in the actual product.

Gotta Be Mobile is convinced that the Apple Watch "redefines" the iOS on its own, noting that the dial (Digital Crown) lets users zoom in and out of the screen. Of course, this is different from the conventional pinch-to-zoom motion everybody got used to be doing.

The Apple Watch will be arriving in three distinct collections: the Apple Watch (basic / original), the Apple Watch Sport (as the name implies) and the Apple Watch Edition (luxury). Each collection comes with a unique design architecture, suited to fit the lifestyle of its wearer. Apple calls the product their "most personal device yet."

That said, we won't keep you any longer. Try the Apple Watch demo now.

Enjoyed Pipes' Apple Watch interactive demo? Since this is a "feel" of the actual wearable, would you consider buying the device? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments section.
