Apple Inc. is busy preparing for the big launch of the highly anticipated Apple Watch later this month, but those who are intending to buy one need to know some facts before they can purchase the first wearable device from the Cupertino-based company.
Based on a report by CNET, Apple will not require consumers to fall in long queues since the Apple Watch will only be sold via reservation. That means that future buyers can't just go to physical stores to buy one. Those interested in being among the first to get the device can pre-order starting April 10.
In order to help prospective buyers, Apple Inc. released a series of guided tour videos that talk about some of the product's basic functions, how to customize it, as well as several detailed instructions. Among the four guided tour videos, the longest one teaches buyers how to raise the wrist so that the watch can be turned on, and how to lower the arm to automatically turn it off.
Other videos display instructions on how to swipe the watch's face up and down to display the constantly accessed contents such as messages and stocks. They can also tap the watch's face to access the app and use its knob to be able to scroll the app.
But although residents in some parts of the world, particularly in the U.S., Canada, China, Germany, France, Hong Kong, the U.K., Japan, and Australia, may be able to get their hands on the much awaited wearable device on April 24, those who are living in Switzerland may have to wait a little longer.
A report from a Swiss trade journal was spotted by Ars Technica claiming that a 30-year-old trademark ruling filed by Leonard Timepieces that lasts for 30 years will only expire on Dec. 5. This means that Swiss buyers have to wait for a little while to get an Apple Watch compared to the rest of the world.
