CNET: Apple Watch Being Sold By Appointment Only

SAN FRANCISCO – The launch of Apple Watch on April 24 will not accompany the long lines we have seen with other Apple product launches.

CNET says Apple will only sell the watches through reservations.

"You won't be able to walk into a store to purchase an Apple Watch like you can with the iPhone and iPad. Instead, all sales will be made through a reservation system," said CNET.

You also won't be able to show up to the store and try one on. That will also require making a reservation or visiting the store when business is slow.

If owning one of the watches does not appeal to you, then you can rent one for a week through a company called Lumoid.
