Apple Watch coming to India

The Apple Watch will make its India debut next week. It cites four senior trade officials as source to inform that in a closed-door meeting with its key trade partners, Apple indicated its intention to advance the launch of Apple Watch and triple sales of the new iPhones during the crucial October-December period. It's expected that the watch will be priced in the Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000 bracket. 

Apple Watch originally went on sale in April in nine select markets with prices starting at $349 (Rs 23,000 approximately) and going above a whopping $17,000 for the gold model. Apple has been introducing the watch in new markets in a phased manner. 

The Apple Watch is available in two sizes (38 and 42 mm) and three variants: Apple Watch, Apple Watch Edition and Apple Watch Sport. The first two come with sapphire crystal to protect the screen from cracking, whereas the sports version has a strengthened Ion-X glass on the display. 

Apple CEO Tim Cook had said that the new options would be available in all 24 markets where the Apple Watch is sold. 


Apple Watch will compete with Motorola's Moto 360 second-generation and Samsung's new Gear S2 watches which are expected to debut in India shortly.
