Apple Watch coming to Best Buy in August

1Best Buy Co. Inc. said it will begin selling the Apple Watch on Aug. 7, the first national retailer outside of Apple's own stores to sell the smartwatch.
2It will initially be available in more than 100 stores and on BestBuy.com, the Richfield retailer said Sunday in a posting on its corporate website.
3Another 200 stores will have it in time for the holidays.
4"The Apple Watch is a big addition to our stores and website, and we know our customers want it," said Jason Bonfig, senior category officer at Best Buy.
5"We are excited to bring the Apple Watch to more consumers, especially with the holidays coming up."
6Best Buy said it will carry the Apple Watch Sport and Apple Watch models, plus accessories.
7The release did not specify pricing, nor did it mention the Apple Watch Edition, which sells from Apple for $10,000 and up.
8The Apple Watch initially shipped in April, but mostly for online orders.
9The smartwatches began appearing in Apple's brick-and-mortar stores last month.
10They also have been available at a few high-end boutique stores.
11Apple said last week when it reported quarterly earnings that sales of the watch have exceeded expectations, but it would not release specific sales numbers.
