Consumers in Australia flocked to Apple Inc's (AAPL.O) store in Sydney on Friday to get the world's first up-close look at the tech giant's smartwatch, which the company expects will be its next runaway hit.
The Apple Watch, CEO Tim Cook's first new major product, was available for pre-order online and to try out in stores - but not take home.
On April 24, consumers will be able to buy it online or by reservation at retail locations including high-end fashion boutiques in Paris, London and Tokyo, part of Apple's strategy of positioning the wearable computer as a must-have accessory.

Another version of the FUD article I posted this to yesterday:
Slow apps, low battery life limit appeal of Apple Watch: reviewers
Interesting FUD article. . . taking minor negative quibble quotes out of context from generally positive reviews to make this FUD article you linked to which I have no doubt was commissioned by Samsung. Try reading the REAL reviews from reviewers all of whom have actually used the Apple Watch for a week for better balance than your cherry picked negative comment FUD article .
My first week with the Apple Watch — Ben Bajarin — TechPinions
What the Apple Watch Does Best: Make You Look Good — Laura Stern — New York Times
The Apple Watch - A Day in the Life — Nilay Patel — The Verge
The Apple Watch: Half Computer, Half Jewelry, Mostly Magical — David Pogue — Yahoo Tech
Apple Watch Review: Bliss, but Only After a Steep Learning Curve — Farhead Manjoo — New York Times
Will it be sold in Indiana?
I wouldn’t buy the apple watch until its water proof
If you want balance then this article is required reading to your cherry picked generally positive reviews.
Btw what is FUD. Your posts and replies are generally confusing.
Ridiculous. There is no need to have one of these. None.
Agreed. You need an iPhone to make it work.
And I have no use for a phone.
Next the is the Apple rock.
You aren't paying attention if you think I post only cherry picked positive articles on Apple. I post positive, neutral, and negative articles, anything that concerns Apple and its products that might be of interest to the over 725 members of the ping list. I don't just cherry pick the good stuff. I just posted this extremely negative article last night. there are lots more. It too is FUD.
I'm surprised you don't know that term. It's been around for years ever since Microsoft firs used the technique it represents against Apple in the 1980s. FUD is an acronym for Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt about a company or a product usually orchestrated by a competitor or competitors. Apple is usually the target of FUD. . . and the FUD engines get revved up three to four weeks before any major Apple announcement or product release. There are numerous marketing studies demonstrating this. Astroturfing articles commission like the two almost identical articles extracting pull quotes of negativity from generally glowing reviews of the Apple Watch to make it appear as if the reviewers were completely negative to people who had not actually read the real reviews. That's FUD. WHO DOES REVIEWS OF REVIEWS? Shills Astroturfing FUD paid by the competition who are running scared of the new product, that's who.
My replies are not confusing except for people trying to characterize me as stupid. Alinsky's rules for radicals 5 and 12. You guys don't do it very well. I'm not frozen, and your attempts at ridicule are pathetic.
Ask any of the 700 plus members of the ping list if my posts or replies are at all confusing to them.
Those reviews come from Apple’s selected group of reviewers that they know will give them a positive review. That is why they got early testing units.
No wrist watch under American regulations can claim "water proof" only degrees of "water resistance".
*Apple Watch is splash and water resistant but not waterproof. You can, for example, wear and use Apple Watch during exercise, in the rain, and while washing your hands, but submerging Apple Watch is not recommended. Apple Watch has a water resistance rating of IPX7 under IEC standard 60529. The leather bands are not water resistant.
Very clever what you did with the Apple logo.
I thought the Walking Dead was over for the year. But apparently there will be a huge zombiefest on April 24th.
Your life is meaningless without one.
Your life is meaningless without one.
Fear Uncertainty Doubt
I'm surprised you don't know that term.Only Apple Fanboys take for granted that normal people know off-the-cuff what FUD means... and only Apple Fanboys use it three times in two sentences (along with a Samsung conspiracy nut theory) - LoL!
Interesting FUD article. . . taking minor negative quibble quotes out of context from generally positive reviews to make this FUD article you linked to which I have no doubt was commissioned by Samsung. Try reading the REAL reviews from reviewers all of whom have actually used the Apple Watch for a week for better balance than your cherry picked negative comment FUD article .But anyway, the link I posted is most definitely not FUD, as it is stated that all the negative issues are things that can be fixed/improved.
You are confusing because you more than once replied to me that the item I posted was "already posted", even though it was not. You post your own ping statement in italics and use FUD in a hysterical way as if normal people know what that is. I don’t think you are stupid. Like the Apple Watch you just require improvements (good luck telling a Fanboy that).
Btw why do you ping others to me?
Do you have a crazy application of Alinsky's rules for radicals about that?
