With only a few hours left before Apple Watch goes live for pre-order, the company has now confirmed in a new press release that it will only be accepting orders online during the launch period. Head over the jump for more information on this matter, especially if you are planning on buying the smartwatch for yourself.
The big question - after pre-ordering an Apple Watch - remains: when can you expect the device to be in your hands after you've placed your order? Apple announced that the watch will start shipping out on the 24th, but recent online store listings are ranging the shipments from 24th to somewhere in May as well, depending on the model.

The first unboxing video of the Apple Watch has just hit the Internet. Not that there is much left to be revealed about the watch as it is, but nothing compares to a good ol' fashioned unboxing of a top-notch gadget as beautiful as the Apple Watch. Head over the jump and check out the video - and the device itself - in its full glory.
Apple tends to be pretty good at tweaking its products year-on-year in order to maintain consumer interest, but it certainly bucked the trend with the iPad mini 3. One of the biggest disappointments on record from the Cupertino company, it added Touch ID, a gold color option and not a lot else, yet Apple still felt that it warranted a major price bump. It has been rumored that the Mac maker is hastily preparing an upgrade, which may also include some design alterations, and a new leak of the purported rear shell sheds some light on this.
As Apple gears up for an influx of pre-orders of the Apple Watch from the 10th of April, it has now been revealed that reservations for in-store pickup will be limited to one per customer via the Reserve and Pickup service. Head over the jump to learn more about this new policy.
The Apple Watch try-on sessions will commence from this Friday, with the retail date arriving on April 24th, in just over two weeks' time, and although it's rather early to be casting aspersions, many are suggesting that this product could reach iPhone levels of popularity. Naturally, one might expect queues to form outside Apple Retail Stores in the days and hours leading up to the official launch later this month, but as per a new memo sent out by Apple SVP Angela Ahrendts, those days are long gone.
Apple made a series of announcements at its Spring Forward media event on April 9th, and aside from Apple Watch and the all-new MacBook, the company also announced a deal to bring HBO to its range of products. HBO NOW, as it is known, has taken a month to finally hit the scene, but if you're rocking an Apple TV, iPhone or iPad, you can give it a whirl thanks to the 30-day free trial that is being offered.
Time is ticking along just nicely, and in a couple of weeks you'll be able to watch it ebb away in a whole new way once you have an Apple Watch strapped to one of your extremities. Some lucky people already have one though, and they don't all work at Apple.
While the success of Apple Watch will mostly hang on the product itself, employees will also play a key role in proceedings. After all, it is many of they who will attempt to sell the product during the try-on sessions beginning in a few days' time, and even once this pre-order period has run its course, it seems certain that those working at Apple Stores will be essential in the company's attempt to grab a chunk of the wearable market. As a reward, Apple employees will enjoy a 50 percent discount on the lower-end Apple Watch variants, with a tidy $550 discount on the gold Watch Edition.
