Apple Watch is finally available in India
India will have the cheapest and most expensive Apple Watches in the world
Finally, customers in India can get their hands on the Apple Watch. The Cupertino-based tech giant made multiple variants available, which is why Indian consumers will have a lot to choose from.
The wearable device will be available in two different display sizes: 38 mm and 42 mm. Plus, there will be 40 various combinations to cater to each individual's colour and design preferences. All models will come loaded with WatchOS 2 and more than 1,300 native Apple Watch apps.
The starting price of the Apple Watch in India for the White Sports Band and the Silver Aluminum Case will be around US$665 for the 38 mm version. The 42 mm model, on the other hand, will cost about US$751. These prices are actually the cheapest for the Apple Watch anywhere in the world.
Users interested in getting either the 38 mm or 42 mm Steel Case version with the White Sports Band will have to prepare around $1,052 and $1,139, respectively. The price will continue to move up for the Classic Buckle variant at some $1,299, and about $2,064 for the stainless steel Link Bracelet. The gold-coated, 38 mm variant in 18-karat Rose Gold will cost around $17,662, and the 42 mm will be priced at $21,318.
The prices of the variants coated in gold are extremely outlandish. Although prices seem to be already far too expensive, Apple is expected to jack-up its prices for a more expensive variant, said Tech Times.
Apple has a Hermes designer version for its smartwatch and this will also be available in India for the astonishing price of $30,585. That price tag could make the product one of the least purchased devices in India for quite some time.
The Apple Watch can be bought in over 100 partner stores across India. Despite its expensive variants, the wearable device does have more affordable versions expected to sell like hotcakes.
