After numerous leaks and rumors, Apple had finally unveiled its very first smartwatch back in March. The Apple Watch was first available the US, France, Japan, and the UK in April, and has since then gradually rolled out to other countries.
The Apple Watch is available in two size variants - 38mm and 42mm, and its prices start from $349. This should translate into a starting price of Rs. 22,655 for Indian buyers, but we highly doubt this is going to be the case.
Most likely the prices will be much higher, once we weigh in the import duty and local taxes, and, as it was the case with the new iPhones, Apple increased price in order to ensure parity with United States pricing. But we'll know for sure how much the Apple Watch will cost in India exactly two weeks from now.
While there's no official information coming from Apple regarding sales numbers for the Apple Watch, the word on the street is that the company has shipped at least 4 million units in just three months, thus overtaking some other smartwatch makers. We can already say that the smartwatch industry is mature, with plenty of devices available for customers.
