Apple Stores in the United States have begun to receive Shipments of the Apple Watch to fulfill In-Store reservations through Personal Pickup, according to BGR. The report claims the Apple Watch will be available for In-Store pickup starting today or tomorrow, but the exact product mix remains unclear at this point.
A spot check of the Apple Online Store reveals that the Personal Pickup option remains unavailable for the Apple Watch at brick-and-mortar Apple Store locations in New York and elsewhere in the United States. A dedicated Reserve and Pickup page for the Apple Watch that was live in early April also continues to redirect to the main Apple Watch product page on the company's website.
Apple Watch orders have been taken exclusively online since pre-orders began on April 10, although Apple is **w catching up on the backlog of Shipments and is better positioned to sell the wrist-worn device in stores soon. Apple executive Jeff Williams confirmed earlier this month that it would soon begin selling some Apple Watch models in Apple Stores, but he did **t provide a specific date.
?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,? said Jeff Williams, Apple?s senior vice president of Operations. ?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.?
Apple Watch launches in seven additional countries on June 26: Italy, Mexico, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland and Taiwan. The wrist-worn device will be sold through the Apple Store, Apple Online Store and select authorized resellers in the countries, including 10 Corso Como in Milan, BOONTHESHOP Cheongdam in Seoul and Malmaison by The Hour Glass in Singapore.
