Taking the anticipation of Apple Watch to an all new level, Apple has made sure that its Apple Store went offline on Thursday to cater for the mass pre-orders of this smart watch, all set to start on Friday at 12:01 a.m. Pacific and 3:01 a.m. Eastern.
The Apple Watch is one of the most awaited products of 2015 with buyers lining up outside the stores to catch a glimpse of this watch and try it before buying it. The watch gathered much public attention by being the only Apple product that the users could try on before actually working it by making a prior appointment at the store. In fact, the electronics giant had its employees specially trained to guide their potential buyers on the fashion quotient of the watch.
Furthermore, as reported by the Apple Insider, the Sport variant has been priced at $349 while the Stainless Steel variant is all set to fetch something between $549 and $1099. However, it is the gold variant which is all set to fetch more than $10,000 for every piece. Moreover, Apple has been known for turning the launch of a new product into a major debacle by using various pre release videos which make the consumer burn the midnight oil each time a new iPhone is launched.
The reviewers at USA Today are all praises for this watch with the only concern being the learning curve. Ending the speculation about the above, Apple has launched various videos which provide information on ways to swing, swipe and tap the watch in order to get a desired response.
The watch would be available in person from April 24 onwards in various Apple Stores along with presence in specialized boutiques of Colette (Paris), Dover Street Market (London and Tokyo), The Maxfield (LA) and The Corner (Berlin). Besides, the watch would also be available with some authorized resellers in China and Japan.
