Apple Watch Draws Almost 1M Pre-Sale Orders in One Day

Almost one million people pre-ordered an Apple Watch on the first day it became available for purchase.

Apple Watch starts shipping on April 24, with a suggested retail price range of $349 to $1,049. There is also an 18-karat gold "Apple Watch Edition" option that starts at $10,000.

The high price point didn't deter some 957,000 people from placing an order on Friday, reported USA Today, citing data provided by tracking firm Slice Intelligence. What's more, the average customer ordered more than one — at an average price of $503.83.

And the Apple mania doesn't stop there; Slice also found that 43 percent of the 48,000 customers who ordered the latest Macbook on the same day also bought an Apple Watch.
