Here's a twist: Apple is about to hold an event where you probably know what the main attraction will be. Yes, barring surprises, the March 9th "spring forward" presentation will largely answer the remaining questions about the Apple Watch. However, that list of questions is seemingly a mile long. How much will it cost to get the watch you want? What's the battery life like? Are there any surprise features? And this is all before you factor in rumors about other devices showing up, like new iPads or MacBooks. It's all a bit overwhelming, but don't worry. We've gathered up the most plausible leaks and rumors surrounding the event, so you'll know what to expect -- and in some cases, what not to expect -- when Tim Cook and crew take the stage.

If you have any substantial interest in the Apple Watch, you've probably fretted over pricing. After all, Apple only mentioned a $349 base price back in September -- that doesn't tell you anything about what it'll cost to get wristwear that suits your style. When there's talk of hand-polished metal links and 18-karat rose gold, you know some Watch variants won't come cheap. And there are 22 of them (five Watch Sport, 12 Watch, five Watch Edition), some of which have two different sizes. That's more than a little intimidating!

The one certainty at this point is that the starting $349 will get you an Apple Watch Sport. The UK's Sunday Times quoted that price for the 38mm Sport in a preview piece where it got rare early access for a photo shoot, and it only makes sense that a watch made from aluminum and glass would cost less than one built with stainless steel and sapphire. It's not certain if you'll pay more for a 42mm Sport, although that seems likely when you're getting a higher-resolution display (390 x 312 versus 340 x 272) on top of the larger case.
