The much-sought-after smartwatch is going to be available at retail locations sometime this month, reports [9to5Mac.com](http://9to5mac.com/2015/06/01/apple-watch-june-store-launch/ "undefined"). Previously it had only been available for online purchase. Apple retail leader Angela Ahrendts sent out materials to stores telling employees to get ready for an Apple Watch launch, per 9to5mac. The Apple Watch is the first major product launch Apple has undertaken since CEO Tim Cook took over for the late Steve Jobs. Some [estimates](http://www.marketwatch.com/story/apple-has-sold-7-million-watches-concludes-tech-analyst-2015-06-01 "undefined") say the company has sold more than 7 million watches since pre-orders began in April. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3904889/the-apple-watch-is-finally-coming-to-stores/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3904889/the-apple-watch-is-finally-coming-to-stores/"},"headline":"The Apple Watch Is Finally Coming to Stores","datePublished":"2015-06-02T14:15:40.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:05:35.172Z","description":"Months after its online release","url":"https://time.com/3904889/the-apple-watch-is-finally-coming-to-stores/","keywords":["Tech","Apple","Wearables","Apple watch","pubdesk"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf3e296bbd8a1e682/698852958e0601c954460c38/455062952.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ben Geier / Fortune"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf3e296bbd8a1e682/698852958e0601c954460c38/455062952.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Apple Inc.
