    Do people like the Apple Watch after they first try it?

    We went to an Apple Store to see what shoppers think of the new smartwatch

    The Apple Watch went on sale on April 10, and promptly sold out, though that might have been as much a factor of supply as demand. Apple also started giving demos of the device that day. We've tried the Watch twice now, and you can see our early impressions here and here—but this was the first time the general public got to try it out.

    We wanted to see how the first genuinely new Apple product since the 2010 launch of the iPad was going over with prospective customers, so we sent a crew to the Ridge Hill shopping center near our Yonkers, New York, headquarters to get their reactions, captured in the video above.
