In a nutshell: An Apple leaker has posted some pictures and video online of what is purportedly an early prototype of the Apple Watch. Its bulky black plastic casing is not something that one would find stylish to wear, but it is really only a security precaution that Apple used to keep the physical design of the watch a secret.
A few months ago, Twitter user Apple Demo posted images of what was claimed to be an early Apple Watch prototype. On Monday, Apple Demo showed the test model in action in a YouTube video (top).
