Application filed by the two classes of the International Classification of Goods and Services (Nice Classification) - 9th (computers, peripherals for them, etc.) and 14th (hours, etc.).

- Hours are 14th class, - says the expert of "Patentus" Anastasia Spilnik. - But the iWatch from Apple, is expected to become multi-functional mobile device and function definitions of time will be far from basic. Therefore, they should also be attributed to electronic devices - is the 9th grade of the Nice Classification.

So it's pretty much confirmed now, Apple is working on it.

I think there is a chance Apple will announce it on Monday. The WWDC invite with the roman numerals, and one side of the W cut down looks like a watch hand. I've been thinking about it, and Apple's watch has to appeal to both men and women... it has to look like a fashion accessory, otherwise they will hugely limit their market. It definitely won't be like the pebble.

I think Apple's watch watch will be similar in form to this one:

No. It isn't "pretty much confirmed". Apple has done similar actions for products that they never produced before. Ever hear of the iSlate? Apple bought that too.

From here

While efforts by Apple to protect the "iWatch" name are suggestive of plans to launch such a product, they are by no means definitive. In the lead-up to the iPad launch, we discovered that Apple had been seeking to secure rights to iSlate trademarks and domain names, only to later discover evidence that it was also protecting the iPad name.

Simply put, we cannot base Apple's intentions based on this action alone. Especially when the only sources of these rumors are the same guys that have said that Apple will make a Television.
