Apple today announced that the Apple Watch will be available in seven additional countries on June 26. The device will go on sale in Italy, Mexico, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland and Taiwan through the Apple Store, Apple Online Store and select authorized resellers.
“The response to Apple Watch has surpassed our expectations in every way, and we are thrilled to bring it to more customers around the world,” said Jeff Williams, Apple’s senior vice president of Operations. “We’re also making great progress with the backlog of Apple Watch orders, and we thank our customers for their patience. All orders placed through May, with the sole exception of Apple Watch 42 mm Space Black Stainless Steel with Space Black Link Bracelet, will ship to customers within two weeks. At that time, we’ll also begin selling some models in our Apple Retail Stores.”
