Apple Watch Edition models, with price ranging from US$10,000 to $17,000, are made with 18-karat gold and some versions offer special bands that are unavailable with other models.
All Apple Retail Stores will have these luxury versions on display, but only a select few allow customers try them on. Out of 265 retail stores in the United States, 21 offer Apple Watch Edition try-ons.
Apple Watch Edition try-ons are also available in 34 international stores, including three non-Apple department stores with sections dedicated to Apple Watch (Selfridges in London, Isetan Shinjuku in Tokyo, and Galeries Lafayette in Paris).

Three places in Australia but only two in Canada? Vancouver has some of the highest real estate prices in the world with the average home costing over $1,000,000 and six Apple Stores but no Apple Watch Edition try on. What is the reason?
I agree. That’s a very glaring oversight. 💥😱
Not at all. If you knew Vancouver, you’d know that the real estate might be overvalued, but the incomes are not. Apple has done their homework.
Problem in Vancouver is that people have sunk their entire wealth into one asset and are house rich, cash poor. The number of people here who are 2-3 paychecks away from foreclosure is staggering.
The Vancouverites who would be buying the Edition are either a short drive down to Seattle or a flight to Tokyo, Hong Kong. It’s not an issue. Vancouver doesn’t have a middle class as there are relatively few high paying jobs. Lots of Starbucks, though.
There are lots of potential reasons but the best rationale is that while both Anustralia and Canada supplied a citizen to be tortured (Dave Hicks and Omar Khadr respectively) at one of the resorts (Guantanamo Bay) of the bully wannabe terrorist nation that houses Apple, only Anustralia joined the war mongering nation on its totally immoral and unethical invasion of Iraq, the sequel where they deployed the “aim for Bin Laden hit Saddam Hussein” guidance system.
There has been all sorts of great perks for Anustralia since then, and they certainly don’t mind if it’s tainted with the blood of innocents. It’s also a bonus for them as well, especially in Brisbane where the locals try to reenact the Battle of Brisbane whenever they can get their hands on someone who sounds remotely American.
Hey Rude Warrior,
There were MASSIVE demonstrations in Oz against sending troops to help invade Iraq. Don’t blame the population for what our fuckwitted so-called leaders do.
Hey Des Gusting. Yeah yeah, I’m sure there were massive demonstrations over there against sending your troops to help invade Iraq. There was no intent on blame here. In fact it’s a perfectly good demonstration of free will in that if a fuckwitted population can only protest against something that blatantly obvious then it fully deserves the fuckwitted so-called leaders that it ends up with.
There’s nothing wrong with that, especially when it plays onto your strengths and certainly one of their greatest strengths is making Americans look good, and you sure fit the bill.
Oh by the way, it’s Road Warrior, but that’s OK, at least Americans can figure out spelling for the most part. See, you just made a loud mouth bloody yank look good and this approach is an improvement over the abuse, and assaults I used to get from the individual of that fuckwitted and extremely racist population when I was there.
MDN: my favorite source for geopolitical opinions and Apple news!
It’s the personal touch that makes a difference.
Vancouverans who want to try on the AppleWatch Edition can just go to Hong Kong or Shanghai. Of course they can also head across the border to Seattle.
New York, Soho. <-How things have changed. It used to be the bohemian district.
Yeah, I can remember when one of Melbourne’s now-trendy areas was populated with homeless people who defecated and urinated on the footpath, and another one was filled with druggies and prostitutes. But you’d need to be a millionaire to live in either of those suburbs now.
Not Fashion Island, Newport Beach?!?!?
Ouch, that’s got to hurt.
