News has circulated that participating athletes joining the project have already signed their non-disclosure agreements.

One fact however that Apple is not too shy to reveal is the health feature that they are proud to include with the iWatch.

At the World Wide Developers conference it was revealed that the device will be able to identify different health information for users.

This explains why Apple has given pro athletes the task to discover the iWatch functions and features.

In its entirety the iWatch is deemed as a smart way to enable the user to track their fitness development and promote overall health.

Truly an excellent marketing strategy for Apple, these pro athletes will be making it easier to reach the expected 50 to 60 million units sales in a year.

This current update about the players helping out the tests have given consumers mixed signals on product availability sending a lot of hype and interest as to when the iWatch will be launched.
