Apple Watch Now Available At Best Buy
Just a few weeks ago, Best Buy announced plans to begin selling the Apple Watch in some of its retail stores, and as promised, as of today, Apple Watch sales have officially kicked off with the Watch now available to purchase on Best Buy’s website.
Best Buy is offering all 38mm and 42mm Apple Watch Sport models as well as the 38mm and 42mm stainless steel Apple Watch in a three variations: Black Sport Band, White Sport Band, and Milanese Loop. Other models such as one paired with the Classic Buckle or Leather Loop do not seem to be offered at this time.
As of today, only 100 Best Buy stores will be carrying the Apple Watch, however the company says that they plan to expand retail availability to more than 300 stores over the next few months. Starting today, the company is also selling a variety of accessories from third-party manufacturers including cases, bands, charging stands, and more.
Best Buy is the first major retailer outside of Apple to start selling the Apple Watch. Since the product’s launch in April, it’s been limited to Apple’s online store with slow a rollout to Apple’s own retail stores. It appears that Apple has finally caught up to demand and looks to expand that Apple Watches presense.
