Apple is likely to increase rapidly producing your Apple Watch after advanced solid orders exceeded the limited supply in the first weekend after its launch, Wall Street analysts said.
According to sales data Slice Signature Intelligence, Apple posted about 1 million advance orders for the Apple Watch US on Friday.
The Apple Watch, which allows users to check email, listen to music and making phone calls when you are next to an iPhone, officially goes on sale on April 24th.
“Based on our observations and media reports, the reservation the day of the launch was widely sold in the first 10 to 30 minutes depending on the model,” said Gene Munster, an analyst at Piper Jaffray in a note.
Munster, who expects Apple to sell 2.3 million watches in the quarter from April to June, the firm estimates that production increased between mid May and June. BofA Merrill Lynch expects Apple to deliver 4 million smart watches in the quarter.
The Apple Watch is the first big release of CEO Tim Cook and the company’s first foray into the market for personal luxury goods.
The firm will sell the devices in Apple stores and online as well as in fashion business in Paris, London and Tokyo as part of a strategy to position the wearable computer as an essential accessory.
Despite receiving mixed reviews, which praised the clock style but criticized the battery life and slow to download apps, people flocked to Apple stores to see it close. “We think the Apple Watch will be highly disruptive to the traditional market of fashion watches,” said analysts at Pacific Crest.
Analysts said their checks showed that Apple seemed to be ordering watch components that allow you to make more than 20 million units this year. The firm expects Apple has about 5 million Apple Watch available for delivery for April 24.
Analysts expect Apple Watch sold more than similar clocks Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, Sony Corp and LG Electronics, which have attracted lukewarm interest of consumers.
