Chip suppliers are gearing up to start production for the Apple Watch, according to DigiTimes' industry sources.

Orders for chips for the Apple Watch, set to debut in early 2015, are estimated at 30-40 million units, the sources indicated. The Apple Watch uses Apple's custom-designed system-in-package (SiP) chip, which miniaturizes an entire computer architecture onto a single chip.

Apple has yet to announce a launch day for the Apple Watch; however, recent reports suggest it could arrive in time for Valentine's Day. The stainless steel Apple Watch is predicted to cost around $500; whereas, the yellow or rose gold Apple Watch could cost between $4000 and $5000.

There are 34 Apple Watch models that customers will be able to choose from, check them out here if you haven't already!

It really is expensive for what it is. 350 for the sport and not sapphire glass or stainless steel . I will still get the sport one for using for activities only. This watch cannot replace a luxury watch. I have confidence in the developers not apple in that they will find more use for this hardware.

The crown looks so awkward with it positioned off centre. Would be nice if they fixed that.
