    With only one day left until the Watchening/first available pre-order of the Apple Watch, your best bet might be to order yours online.

    Apple on Thursday confirmed that orders for the upcoming Apple Watch will be available exclusively online during the launch window, as the company expects that consumer demand will outstrip available supply of units.
