Apple Watch In-Store Reservations Available Beginning April 10Apple on Friday updated its
online store with instructions on how to purchase the Apple Watch, reiterating that the wrist-worn device can be ordered online or reserved for in-store pickup. The new section appears to confirm that Apple Watch in-store reservations will be available beginning April 10, allowing customers to reserve a specific Apple Watch for pickup at an Apple Store beginning April 24.

The wording and timing of the new section suggests that Apple Watch in-store reservations will be available April 10, a move that would generate more foot traffic in Apple Stores on Apple Watch launch day. Nevertheless, there remains a slim possibility that reservations will begin on April 24. Apple did not immediately respond to request for comment, although we will update this post if we receive confirmation.
Last week, Apple Store training documents obtained by
MacRumors indicated that Apple will <a href="

Walk-in customers can join the queue for a try-on appointment, after which they can order the Apple Watch online or make a reservation for in-store pickup.
Apple Watch pre-orders kick off at
12:01 AM Pacific on April 10 in the United States, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan and United Kingdom. Apple has added
"Guided Tour" videos to its website that outline various functions of the Apple Watch, while we've prepared detailed guides on
how to pre-order the Apple Watch and
what to expect at a try-on appointment.
