Apple Stores have begun receiving stock of the Apple Watch intended for in-store availability, reports BGR.
The Apple Watch is finally here. We have been told by trusted sources that Apple Stores around the country have begun to receive shipments of the Apple Watch for sale through in-store reservations for personal pickup when purchased online. We’re not sure if this means you can buy the watch today or if the stock will be used for overnight purchases and available for pick up tomorrow. There’s no word on the product mix at this point, but we’re still investigating.
Since its launch in April, the Apple Watch has exclusively been available online. Apple SVP Jeff Williams previously announced that the company would be selling some Apple Watch models in retail stores this month.
“The response to Apple Watch has surpassed our expectations in every way, and we are thrilled to bring it to more customers around the world,” Apple SVP of Operations Jeff Williams said at the time. “We’re also making great progress with the backlog of Apple Watch orders, and we thank our customers for their patience. All orders placed through May, with the sole exception of Apple Watch 42 mm Space Black Stainless Steel with Space Black Link Bracelet, will ship to customers within two weeks. At that time, we’ll also begin selling some models in our Apple Retail Stores.”
We've yet to see the Personal Pickup option enabled for any stores. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.
