There are plenty of Apple Watch reviews out in the wild now, but we have yet to see a solid unboxing of the hottest new wearable in tech.
French newspaper Metronews did the honor, and here’s what opening an Apple Watch for the first time is like:

There’s a box within the box that holds the actual Watch.
Boxception!
The inductive charger is wrapped at the bottom of the main box, and it’s pretty long.

Starts at $149.
Apple Watch preorders kick off this Friday at 12:01 AM Pacific.

Is that the large one or the smaller size one?
That’s what she said!
-.-
You mean that’s what she asked, right?
I don’t know why, but the video was somewhat annoying. And what’s with the squeaky clean nails?
I just wish someone would give me one because I would’nt buy one,too expensive!
