Title: Currys and PC World Gearing Up to Sell Apple Watch in UK Post by: HCK on August 29, 2015, 09:00:09 am Currys and PC World Gearing Up to Sell Apple Watch in UK
MacRumors has learned that British electronics retailer Currys (http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/index.html), which co-brands some locations as Currys and PC World, has added the Apple Watch to its internal inventory system as it gears up to begin selling the wrist-worn device. Currys and PC World has a large presence throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland, with a combined 295 superstores and 73 high street stores in both countries. It remains unclear how many of those locations will be carrying the Apple Watch. (http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2015/08/currys_apple_watch-800x344.jpg) When searching for the Apple Watch on the Currys website, a banner informs customers that the device is "currently not available at Currys and PC World" and advertises a range of smartwatches from Sony, Motorola, LG, Pebble and others. (http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2015/08/currys_no_apple_watch-800x68.jpg) Apple has been expanding Apple Watch availability beyond Apple Stores over the past few months. Best Buy in the U.S. (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/07/26/best-buy-apple-watch/) began selling the Apple Watch in early August, followed by Best Buy in Canada (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/08/14/apple-watch-harvey-norman-australia/), Harvey Norman (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/08/14/apple-watch-harvey-norman-australia/) and Myer (http://www.myer.com.au/shop/mystore/apple-watch) in Australia and Fnac in France (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/08/20/apple-watch-expands-france/).
