Even if you're not laying down thousands of dollars for the VIP treatment (http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/29/apple-watch-edition-perks/), if you're looking for an Apple Watch (http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/09/apple-watch-edition-hands-on/) (and you're shopping in old-school bricks-and-mortar style), you won't be able casually dip into an Apple store and get some new tech-laden wrist candy. Not so fast: according to training documents seen at MacRumors (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/03/29/apple-watch-reservation-only/), there will be no walk-in sales, at least to begin with. Likely tied to rumored supply concerns about Apple's first wearable, customers will have to make an online reservation ahead of getting to buy it. Those that do will then then get to try on a watch and have a play between the pre-sales date of April 10th and eventual launch on April 24th. It won't be forever, however: according to the leak, Apple will likely offer walk-in sales of the wearable at a later date.
