The display is protected by polished sapphire crystal and will be available in select retail stores. This out of the ordinary watch is meant to be shown off. So Apple created a surprising range of choices. Retailers can now guide their customer in watch, color and strap choices. For instance, they can use other accessories on a customer as examples for which model would look best. Or if the customer is with a friend, then they can ask the friend’s opinion as to which model should be purchased. This way they can steer the buyer to purchase, say, a Green Sport band instead of a Pink Sport band.  And the matching fluoroelastomer band comes in five different colors. Previews are now in stores.
