After a few months have passed since it was put on sale in the West, the Apple Watch begins to be sold in other developing countries such as India. Today is the day that the Apple Watch has been put on sale through authorized dealers with a recommended entry price of Rs 30.900, which is approximately 432 Euros.
Recall that just a month ago Apple put its iPhone 6s / 6s Plus on sale in this country. On the other hand, both the 38mm and 42mm models are available in all finishes, that is, both in gold, rose gold, space gray or silver, all of them using anodized aluminum as a base, there is also a finish in stainless steel in both metallic and space gray colors and finally the gold and rose gold versions in 18 karat. However, the latest editions of Hermes are left out and it is not known if they will eventually go on sale in this country.
The stainless steel models of the Apple Watch start at 48.900 and 52.900 rupees on 38mm and 42mm models respectively if you opt for the Sport strap. With a link bracelet the price increases to Rs 95.900, while the classic buckle model stays at Rs 60.900.
The 18 dilates model in 38mm rose gold amounts to Rs 820.000, that is, a not inconsiderable 15.000 Euros to change and that if we count that it would come with the Sport strap. If we go for the 42mm gold edition the price could go up to 990.000 rupees and depending on the strap up to 1.420.000 rupees.
Anyway Apple is still on talks with the government of the Hindu country, because local laws prohibit Apple from opening its own stores. This is because according to the law, so that the brand can open its own stores have to manufacture a certain percentage of their products within the country, so by not meeting this requirement, you have no choice but to resign yourself to making sales through authorized distributors. Tim Cook will surely not miss this opportunity since the country currently outpaces China in growth.
