Apple Stores are finally stocking the Watch… but there’s a catch

The Apple Watch is now finally available to buy in-store… Sort of.

When it first released, the Apple Watch could only be ordered online with no option to buy directly from the high-street. Today however, it seems that the world-leading technology firm has changed their mind a little bit. While you still can’t go down to your local Apple store and pick one up immediately with cash, the company are now allowing website pre-orders to be collected at you local store.

If you want to be part of this, you need to live in either the UK, Germany, France, US, Australia, Canada, China, Hong Kong or Japan. Stocks will vary between stores and not all of them will be readily available. If your local store does have one in stock then it’s good news as it can be picked up immediately after reserving it online.

If you’re the type of person who loves to hang out at The Apple Store (and probably sports a man-bun), then this will come as welcome news. In all seriousness though, we’re still a little lost as to why Apple didn’t just offer this service to begin with.
