Apple Watch release date news update: Three more markets launch in July

Since the launch of the Apple Watch last April 24, nine markets -Australia, Germany, Hong Kong, Canada, China, Japan, France, Britain and the United States-- have enjoyed Apple's new innovation.

This week, Apple brought the watch to markets of Italy, Mexico, South Korea, Spain, Singapore, Taiwan and Switzerland.

Those who are in Thailand, Sweden and Netherlands, may need to wait out and hold their breaths a bit longer because the device won't make it to their market until July 17.

This news was confirmed by Apple on their official website, which claims that three additional markets will be enjoying the Apple Watch.

Not all countries have been included so others might also need to be patient until Apple issues an official announcement for release dates in other countries.

Meanwhile, Channel News Asia reported that Apple Watch has gained a lot of customers during the launch, that EpiCentre in Ion Orchard has seen queues formed on the night of June 25.

However, a report by Cnet stated that the device did not really attract a lot of fans since the queues dwindled down by afternoon, which is usually the opposite for previous Apple device launches.

On the other hand, the launch in South Korean has been embraced well, that it was reported by Tech that consumers formed queues outside reseller stores despite monsoon rains and the news on MERS outbreak.

Apple Watch is hot on the market with its fresh launch. Soon, it will also be hot by the time it hits India, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, New Zealand, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Austria, Russia, Finland, Turkey, and Brazil, which is reported to be within the next six months.

When the watch hits the aforementioned three markets on July 17, it will bring a total of 19 countries that can experience Apple's new wearable device.
