Apple Watch to be sold at Best Buy stores from August

1Apple Watches are seen on display at the Apple store on 5th Avenue in the Manhattan borough of New York City, July 21, 2015.
2(Reuters) - The Apple Watch will be available at stores of Best Buy Co Inc (BBY.N), the largest U.S. consumer electronics chain, starting Aug. 7.
3The Apple Watch and Apple Watch Sport models will be sold at more than 300 Best Buy stores in time for the holiday shopping season, a spokeswoman for Apple Inc (AAPL.O) said.
4"Customers love Apple Watch, and we are thrilled to begin offering it at Best Buy," she said in an email.
5Best Buy is the first retailer to sell the watch outside of the Apple retail store.
6"The Apple Watch is an important addition to an emerging product category, and we know our customers want it," Jason Bonfig, senior category officer, said on the Best Buy website.
7The company said the product will also be available on its online store BestBuy.com.
8The Wall Street Journal first reported that the Apple watch was coming to Best Buy.
9Apple Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri told Reuters earlier this month that sales of the Apple Watch had beat the company's expectations.
10He said in the nine weeks since its launch in late April, the device had sold better than either iPhones or iPads over a similar period after their launch.
