Today marks a big day in Apple Watch history; the Apple Watch is now available from it's 1ST third-party retailer, Best Buy. We originally reported this on July 27 after the announcement was made by Best Buy.
Now, when you visit Best Buy's website, you'll see the Apple Watch front and center ready for you to purchase.
Watch isn't yet available to purchase directly in your local Best Buy store, but you can purchase the Watch online and pick it up in the store, however the list isn't very long of Best Buy stores supporting this feature, with only 100 stores so far. Best Buy says that they plan on expanding to more than 300 stores by the holidays come around, along with begin to sell the Watch directly in the store, complete with try-ons and demos, in the coming months as well.

Best Buy, along with the Watch, has also begun to sell third-party accessories for the Watch, including bands and straps, cases, screen protectors, stands and docks, and chargers. However, they do in fact sell Apple Watch Sport bands right from Apple along with the Milanese Loop.
Theses accessories will, so far, be the only ones directly from Apple, with Best Buy for now focusing on third-party retailers more.
The Watch, at Best Buy, comes in either the Sport or Watch collection, with 16 different models all varying from the 2 collections. All 38mm and 42mm Apple Watch Sport models are available, while the Watch collection includes 38mm and 42mm models with a black or white sport band or the Milanese Loop.
The prices for the Watch aren't any cheaper, however, or more expensive: if you wanna buy a 38mm Sport, it'll run you $349, the same price Apple offers the smartwatch.

Apple has really ramped up their game concerning production of the Watch, with the Watch becoming available not even 2 months after Apple begun to sell the Watch in their physical stores.
