The Apple Watch has officially landed at Apple Stores across the U.S., which means for the fist time, you can walk into your local iPhone dispensary and check out the timepiece in person.
So naturally, we decided to stop by Apple’s flagship Manhattan location on 5th Ave. to see how your average Apple Store patrons were reacting to the company’s first new product in years.
Window shoppers galore
Amidst the throngs of reporters and writers on hand were a large number of curious folks staring at and taking pictures of the various watches neatly arranged in the custom table-length displays Apple designed for its timepiece.
As I walked around the store, I spotted several people lustfully eyeing the $17,000 Apple Watch Edition with its 18-karat gold body and bright red Modern Buckle band.
At one point, a little boy who couldn’t have been older than 6 turned to his father and said he wanted the super expensive watch. I didn’t stick around long enough to hear his father’s reply, but I’m willing to bet it was something along the lines of, “not on your life.”
There was a surprisingly large number of children trying on the Apple Watch as their parents looked on. I saw a mother slide up to one Apple Watch fitting station with her two sons in tow, only to let each of them check out a watch.
To check out the watch Apple asks that you schedule appointments online before heading to the store, but despite all of the hype surrounding the wrist-worn computer there were a good number of openings available for folks to walk in and meet with an Apple Store representative.
Why do I need one?
