Apple has confirmed that the Apple Watch will indeed be hitting stores later this month — June 26 to be exact. Previously available only through Apple’s web store — after hitting a select few boutiques in extremely limited quantities at launch — the Watch will be available from Apple retail locations and authorized dealers beginning June 26. The date will also mark the start of availability in additional countries as the gadget hits the market in Italy, Mexico, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland and Taiwan that same day. Said Jeff Williams, Apple’s senior vice president of operations:
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. 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.
So while the 42 mm Space Black Stainless Steel with Space Black Link Bracelet won’t be available, Apple enthusiasts should have their pick from the majority of the other available options.
