Apple will launch its much anticipated wearable device next month alongside the new iPhone 6 handsets, is has been claimed.
Tech blog Re/Code said the firm is preparing to reveal the gadget, which is believed will be called iTime, alongside larger 4.7inch and 5.5inch handsets.
The wearable device will be able to monitor it's wearer's health, as well and show them alerts from their phone.
It could also act a remote for 'smart' home gadgets.
'Apple plans to unveil a new wearable alongside the two next-generation iPhones we told you the company will debut on September 9,' Re/Code said.
Apple has already hinted at the wearable in the latest update to its iOS software, which includes health tracking capabilities.
'The new device will, predictably, make good use of Apple’s HealthKit health and fitness platform,' Re.Code says.
'It will also — predictably — make good use of HomeKit, the company’s new framework for controlling connected devices — though it’s not clear how broadly or in what way.'
Earlier this month one analyst claimed Apple's iWatch had been delayed and will not go on sale until 2015.
KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says difficulties with manufacturing the new device will likely be the cause of the delay, according to 9to5mac.
'We reiterate our view that iWatch, as compared to existing products, and as Apple’s (US) first attempt at a wearable device, represents a much higher level of difficulty for the company as regards component and system design, manufacturing and integration between hardware and software, he said.
'While we are positive on iWatch and believe that the advantages of the design and business model behind it are difficult to copy, we think, given the aforementioned challenges, that the launch could be postponed to 2015.'

Reports have previously claimed Apple's iWatch
could double up as an activity tracker. This concept image reveals how
the rumoured device and health tool might look. Dubbed the Diet Watch,
it could track calories and steps as well as heart rate. It could launch
at an event in October, alongside Apple's next iPad range
TWO YEARS OF IWATCH RUMOURS
Speculation
around Apple's iWatch began at the end of 2012 and a rumoured release
date was initially set for the fourth quarter of 2013.
Chinese websites reported in December 2012 that the computer giant was working with chip-maker Intel on a wrist-worn gadget.
It was said to have a 1.5inch screen and use Bluetooth to communicate with other devices, including an iPhone.
Other rumours suggest the iWatch will feature Siri voice controls that let users dictate messages, rather than use the tiny screen.
The watch could also be used as a remote control to change music tracks or pause video, on the phone or tablet.
In July last year, reports in the Financial Times said Apple was hiring outside help to tackle design problems with its iWatch.
