Apple Watch is to be launched on April 24 in 9 countries around the world, with a pre-order session to be initiated on April 10, the American company having very high expectations regarding the sales of its new watch. More precisely, American analysts expect that Apple Watch to record sales of 1 million units during the launch weekend, a figure much higher than the sales of some competing watch models for the entire year 2014, so it remains to be seen if the "goal" will be reached.
The figure is calculated based on the total number of owners of iPhone terminals which exists all over the world, analysts expecting a serious percentage of them to buy the new watch, although we are not talking about a product so necessary for a smartphone user. In this idea, analysts expect sales of 300.000 units in the first 24 hours of availability, that is, a third of the sales of the launch should be recorded in the first 24 hours, the rest until the day of the launch and in the two days before it .
While Apple may have 1 million units in total for the launch weekend, it remains to be seen whether users will be interested in buying that many watches, and to be completely honest, the number seems completely unrealistic to me at the moment. face. Although Apple Watch generates interest among users around the world, not many will be willing to spend the hundreds of dollars demanded by Apple for the products, so the initial estimate for sales could be very wrong.
