Apple Watch Selling Like Hot Cakes, Set to Ship in June
Last night at 12:01AM PDT, Apple made their Online Stores available for customer who wanted to pre-order the Apple Watch. You were able to order via the web or you could’ve fired up the iOS Apple Store and order that way. If you managed to get a hold of a 4/24 home delivery date, consider yourself lucky.
As reported by MacRumors, pre-order estimates for many Apple Watch models now say 4-6 weeks or worse in less than six hours. Certain models like the 42mm Black Link Bracelet or the Apple Watch Edition in rose gold are now shipping in July.

This was expected — Apple sent out a press release yesterday stating that the Watch would be in limited supply. That being said, at this time it’s unclear whether or not Apple is allowing walk-in orders.
It’s reported that both in-store pickup and home delivery options are available in all countries that the Apple Watch is available in, however, the in-store pickup options are unavailable for me. Those who want to try one on before they purchase an Apple Watch can schedule an appointment to walk in to their local Apple Store and get a demo.
