Now that the Apple Watch is officially available for pre-orders, Apple has opened up its new Concierge service, allowing you to schedule appointments with Apple Specialists for official Watch fittings.

Provided you can find an available slot, that is!

To access the Concierge service, first login with your Apple ID to the appropriate page on Apple’s website, then specify your state and nearest store, and select the appointment which suits you.

Or, more likely, desperately search around to find the store offering this service (it’s not available everywhere) and then scrabble to book up the last few available slots — because the Apple Watch is already proving insanely popular.

Appointments at the Apple Store are 15 minutes for the Apple Watch Sport and Apple Watch. If you’re buying an Apple Watch Edition, however, your extra $9,000+ gains you an additional fifteen minutes to bring the total appointment time to half an hour.

Word of warning, though: I suspect it won’t be too long until Apple cottons on to 15-year-old kids and penniless students sauntering in and pretending they’re planning on shelling out for an Edition.
