Like with a purchase of a Mac or iPad at the Apple Store, a personal setup is offered to help the customer configure the device and set up notifications, install apps and more.

In the Untited States customers can collect their ordered devices were ordered should be able to collect their watch, but in the United Kingdom and Australia the pickup service is live and customers can walk into a store and collect a watch, after reservation. Jeff Williams commented on the Apple Watch availability and popularity:

“This response to Apple Watch has surpassed our expectations in every way, and we are thrilled to bring it to more customers around the world.”
