Those who are looking for a gift to give their loved ones this holiday season don’t have to look any further because Apple is releasing the Apple Watch at every Best Buy store in the country. Previously, the Apple Watch was only available to order from Apple Stores (online and B&M) and a few boutique jewelry outfits around the globe. Customers will be capable of “really feel and try-on” the system in 20 shops. Best Buy, which has more than 1,000 stores in the U.S., says it’s the first national retailer to sell the watch outside of Apple Inc.’s stores.
Since its debut, Apple Watch estimates have alternately showed as a massive successor a complete failure.
Analysts and experts have all been guessing the watch sales number as Apple has not provided any detail of the sales of the gadget.
Apple is curious about how consumers got their hands on the device, which launched April 24 but had limited retail availability until mid-June. Canada’s Best Buy will offer a total of sixteen different Apple Watch and Apple Watch Sport models.
A standard version will be $699, and the high-end “Edition” model will available in $13,000. It will include the Sport and Watch variants of the Apple Watch, and will be made available in both the sizes; 38mm and 42mm.
And, no, you won’t be taking this survey on the tiny screen of your Apple Watch. And as the earlier figures demonstrate, she’s clearly had some successes executing on Tim Cook’s mission to sell more products through Apple Stores.
Apart from Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Samsung, other watch makers have been put in the “others” segment. “For the holiday season, this is definitely a big plus for Apple”.
The addition of outside Apple Watch sales is a sign that supply is finally catching up with demand.
“Many analysts ride the wave of exceedingly high expectations”, Entner said.
