Apple doesn't sell the watch in their own stores but they do sell them in a handful of boutiques around the world, one of them in Berlin. http://www.forbes.com/sites/clareoconnor/2015/04/23/you-can-buy-apple-watch-in-high-end-boutiques-this-week-but-not-apple-stores/ I know they had long queues last Friday and only let 3 or 4 people per hour in but when I showed up today there was no queue at all, two other people came around the same time I did and 10 minutes later I had my watch.... > > I hope you enjoy using it [emoji6] Trying to. It's clearly a well-made Apple product. Gorgeous design (the watch, not the band) and well thought-out but it's clearly not my product line. I refused to use fitness watches even when I was still running marathon although I just tried it out on a cycling round and it came quite handy. That's probably the use case I'm going to actually use it for, frequently. I'm also not the high-frequency messaging guy who really needs to get notified of messages every few seconds. And Siri's not my friend, too. And beyond that... most more complex tasks quickly call for you to pick up the iPhone. I don't really see a lot of sense in cumbersome scrolling through long lists of events if I have to carry my iPhone anyway. So that leaves glances, notifications and quick remote control tasks, especially at home where you don't have to carry your iPhone. Third party Apps so far are disappointing but that's probably no surprise given that almost nobody had a chance to test theirs on an actual device before shipping. But I think we'll really need a native SDK. And even then I don't think this will get the same kind of variety we see with phone and tablet Apps, it's simply a much more specialized device. But it does make sense for iPeng. If Apple just hadn't put all the usual annoyances in there.
