Cook wasn’t drawn on a precise date, but says the release would be release will be “right on schedule,” following his earlier vow to ship the watch in ‘early 2015.’

Previous indications had suggested Apple’s first wearable device would be released by the end of March. Either those reports were wide of the mark, or Apple has pushed back the release somewhat.
