Apple is reportedly looking into developing a watch product.

This is only one in a line of other wearable tech that people have been buzzing about, most notably Google Glass.

We suspect that this will be a device to complement the iPhone, not to kill it.

Analysts say that the watch, if Apple decides to sell it, will appear in 2014 at the earliest.

But this is by no means the only smartwatch that will be out there. There are already a number available today.

MetaWatch STRATA

Connect this watch with your phone to see incoming calls, SMS messages, email, Facebook and Twitter updates, calendar events, and even weather. The company recently raised over $300,000 on Kickstarter to make its watch compatible with iOS 6.

Price:starts at $159



Pebble

Another Kickstarter runaway success, Pebble crowdfunded over $10 million and sold almost 69,000 watches in the process. The watch is pretty customizable, letting you load your own watch faces into it. And of course, it functions with caller ID, SMS updates, and can even control your music.

Price:$150



Leikr

Currently in development by former Nokia engineers in Denmark, the Leikr's 2" color screen is a full-blown GPS unit that stores its maps offline. It's a perfect watch for runners, cyclists, or people who simply get lost easily.

Price:starting at $279
