Apple has announced that the first batch of Apple Watch orders will only be collected via the Apple Store application for iOS devices and the online Apple store site.
According to TechCrunch, Apple Watch buyers will have to virtually queue to buy the device initially.
Apple head of retail Angela Ahrendts confirmed the plan in a press release saying that pre-sales of the device will begin on April 10 along with in-store try-ons and demos ahead of the April 24 official store date.
Ahrendts said in a statement that they will be taking orders for Apple Watch exclusively online during the initial launch period to provide the best experience and selection.
