If you are an iOS user, make sure you set your alarm clock. Preorders open for the device tonight at 12:01 AM PDT. In addition to purchasing the watch, at 12:01 Apple will also allow you to make reservations to try on the watch in an Apple Store. No one has any clue what demand (or supply) is going to be like for Apple’s first wearable device. Reviews for the Watch were mixed, but that typically does not have a huge influence on demand at Apple launches. What we do know is that you will not be able to walk into the store and purchase one at launch without having one reserved. In a change of procedure, Apple has told people not to queue up for the launch because the Watch can only be purchased online. If you want to have one in your hand when the device launches April 24th, the safest bet is to place an order as soon as they open up tonight.
