Amazon and Target won’t be the only major retailers on your wrist for long: sources say that Apple is finishing up work on a version of its Apple Store application for the Apple Watch. The Apple Watch app will come “soon” as part of an update to the Apple Store iPhone and iPad application, and will likely enable customers to make certain types of Apple Store purchases from their wrists, as well as receiving Apple Store-related notifications. As the Apple Watch does not have a keyboard, more involved orders will require the user to move over to the iPhone app. Apple will ask employees to push Apple Store app installations for the Apple Watch to customers this summer, when the Watch goes on sale in Apple’s own stores. Until then, retail employees will be encouraged to show off the Apple Store app on demo Apple Watches.

But the order will still arrive two months late. :-)
Dumb
For when you desperately need an Airport Express but cant be bothered to get up and grab your iPhone….because the Apple Watch is for fitness!
Perhaps they could bring Touch ID to their store app first?
You may not be able to buy an Apple Watch in an Apple Store anytime soon, but you can shop the Apple Store on an Apple Watch
Pitiful. Where is my watch???L
This sounds like a great idea. I will shop the Apple Store from my Apple Watch. I will of course whenever the heck in beck the watch I ordered at 12:11 PST gets here.
Amazon’s app is more worthy of a watch widget than Apple’s app… unless convenient re-ordering is Apple’s answer to flimsy lightning cables.
Oh I take it all back… With a watch widget, now it’s MUCH easier for us all to keep track of our June back-orders for the watch… er…
No one cares about this product. It’s amazing. Not a single facebook post of people getting theirs. No one is conversating about it in public places…it’s a bomb. Unless you wear winter caps in summer, carry a handbag, and damage soy in your coffee.
I find this post interesting. Promoting something that only 15% of the world have Watch, because orders are delayed during the first wave
Easy there apple first lets get Touch ID to help login to Apple Store app on iPhone to review order status etc rather than throwing a password window at us. We trust Touch ID I hope you do too.
