Is Flextronics building the iWatch for Apple?

Flextronics (NASDAQ:FLEX) could be assembling the iWatch, possibly right here in the USA. A couple reasons why this theory can be convincing:

1) Flextronics already has a relationship with Apple as they manufacture the Mac Pro. No leaks were released prior to announcement as they kept the project top secret. Flextronics is known to be able to keep top secret projects under wraps.

3) Flextronics already assembles some of the most successful wearables so far - Fitbit, Jawbone, and Nike

4) Flextronics shows heavy interest and investment in Wearable Technologies as seen in this whitepaper on their website and all the coverage from last year's Wearable Tech Conference

If they make Fitbit, hopefully no one gets an iRash from their iWearable!

Interesting theory, maybe I need to take a look at FLEX stock...

Very possible, since Apple assembles the new Mac Pro in Austin, Texas. However Flextronics also has assembly in many Asian countries as well

Actually a couple months ago it was rumored that Quanta Computer had won the bid to manufacture the iWatch for Apple
