Apple expands Watch sales into Best Buy

From ComputerWorld: Best Buy yesterday announced that it will begin selling the Apple Watch in 100 of its U.S. stores, about 10% of its total outlet count, starting Aug. 7.

The retailer will be the first national chain in the U.S. to sell the Apple Watch, not a surprise since it is one of Apple's largest domestic retail partners.

"We know our customers want it," said Jason Bonfig, Best Buy's senior category officer, in a statement.

Best Buy will sell 16 configurations -- about half the number Apple sells online -- of the low- and mid-range Apple Watch Sport and Apple Watch, as well as bands and other accessories.

The Apple Watch Sport starts at $349, while the Apple Watch begins at $549.
