Apple doesn't allow any outside materials to be brought into its test lab. That includes electronics all the way down to pen and paper.

Apple has also insisted that developers sign non-disclosure agreements to prevent any leaks to the press.

The fact that Apple is working with developers in the first place underscores its desire to have a wide array of apps available on the Apple Watch from its initial launch.

Apple is expected to present the Watch, complete with apps and much more information like how much it will cost, to reporters in an event next Monday in San Francisco.
