Apple Preparing In-Store Pickup Option for Apple Watch

Apple is preparing to offer an in-store pickup option (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=21224820) for the Apple Watch in the United States and other launch countries, listing the option as "available soon" on the Apple Online Store and Apple Store app. The new option remains grayed out on Apple's website and app, making it unavailable to select, and Apple's Reserve and Pickup system for the Apple Watch has yet to go live.
 
 To date, Apple Watch orders have been taken exclusively online and shipped via UPS or other couriers to residential or business addresses, but soon customers will gain the option of ordering online and visiting a local Apple retail location for in-store pickup. Customers will be required to present a valid government-issued photo ID upon pickup, and must match the name on the reservation to pick up the product.

 Apple originally planned to offer in-store pickup of the Apple Watch as early as April 24 (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/04/07/apple-watch-reservations-one-per-customer/), although later decided to take orders exclusively online (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/04/16/apple-watch-ahrendts-memo-april-16/) and ship to home, possibly due to limited supply resulting from faulty Taptic Engines (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/04/29/apple-watch-taptic-engine-bottlenecks/). When in-store pickup for the Apple Watch becomes available, customers will be able to select a nearby Apple Store location of their choice to pick up the product.
