Apple Watch guided tours

The Apple Watch will kick-off pre-orders at 12:01 AM PDT on Friday, April 10. Leading up to that, though, Apple has launched a brand new website to show off the upcoming wearable in another way.

While Apple’s dedicated page for the Watch has gone into plenty good detail since its debut, guided tours are never a bad thing. Which is probably one reason why Apple has launched a dedicated page for them with the Apple Watch front and center, showcasing several different demonstration videos with the wearable.

There are only a few videos upload as of the time of this writing, including ways to look at Messages, the distinct watch Faces, as well as Digital Touch. The other videos that haven’t been uploaded yet include guided looks at Siri on the wearable, Maps, Activity, Apple Pay, taking Phone Calls, Workout and listening to Music. These videos are marked as “Coming Soon,” and with pre-orders right around the corner one would imagine Apple would fill these spaces soon enough.

Which version of the Apple Watch are you planning on picking up?

Update:

Apple has just uploaded the guided tours to its YouTube channel to look at Messages, the distinct watch Faces and Digital Touch. The videos are 1:09 minute to 4:44 minutes long, but worth a watch if you’re planning to buy the Apple Watch. We’ve embedded them below:

We were expecting Apple to show these walkthrough videos at the media event on March 9th, and were quite disappointed that they didn’t do it. But looks like Apple held them off for now, a week before the pre-orders start, which seems like a smart move.
