Apple Watch it was delivered on Friday to a multitude of users from all over the world, and among them are the Romanians who rushed to put the new product up for sale Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), in various websites dedicated to these businesses. At the moment Apple Watch it is very difficult to find in Romania, the number of ads for sale being extremely limited, the prices being reasonable.
More precisely, one 38mm Apple Watch Sport, which costs about 380 dollars in the US (including taxes), has minimum starting prices 2200 LEI, 400 lei higher than in the only Romanian store that accepts pre-orders. Making a comparison with the price in the USA, the difference is approximately 170 dollars, or 50% of the value of the Apple Watch in the Apple Store Online.
If 42mm Apple Watch Sport, which costs approximately 440 dollars in the USA, the price in Romania reaches the minimum 2400 LEI, or 602 dollars, the difference compared to the store price being similar, although the percentage is lower. From here on the prices go up depending on the model chosen, and a Apple Watch bought from an old man can cost up to 4000 LEI if it is made of stainless steel and has a classic leather strap.
To be honest, I expected that the stocks of Romanian farmers would be small considering the fact that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), has big problems in delivering all the pre-orders made for Apple Watch. Unfortunately, this problem of the Apple company will keep prices at a high level until at least May, Tim Cook stating that Apple could launch the Apple Watch in new countries only at the end of June.
In conclusion, if you want an Apple Watch, you have nothing to do but wait until it is officially launched in Romania, but at a price lower than 1850 lei you will not buy it in stores because the standard selling price in USA/Europe is big.
