Apple Watch Coming to Retail Stores 'Within Two Weeks'

Fans of the Apple Watch will be happy to hear that they only have to wait a couple of weeks to buy the high-tech gadget at physical stores.

Jeff Williams, senior vice president of operations at Apple, announced Thursday that the tech giant will make several models of the smartwatch available at its retail stores "within two weeks," according to USA Today.

The announcement follows two months after the Apple Watch became available to consumers, though only at Apple's online store and select luxury boutiques.

Williams said those who ordered their Apple Watches through the online store in May will receive their gadgets in the next two weeks, except for those who ordered the 42mm Space Black Stainless Steel with Space Black Link Bracelet model, CNET reported. He didn't say when those who ordered this model in May will receive their watch.

The Apple Watch models ranges in prices from $349 to $17,000.

Apple will also start offering the watch in seven more countries on Friday, June 26, The Verge reported. These countries include Italy, Mexico, Spain, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Switzerland, the last of which is the center of smartwatch development in the world.

Exactly what models will be available at Apple's retail stores has yet to be revealed.

"The response to Apple Watch has surpasses our expectations in every way, and we are thrilled to bring it to more customers around the world," Williams said in a statement.

"We're also making great progress with the backlog of Apple Watch orders, and we thank our customers for their patience," he added.
