Buyers of Apple Watch Edition will reportedly get first-class treatment

If you’re willing to shell out US$10,000 for an Apple Watch, then there seems to be some perks waiting for you. According to 9to5Mac sources, those buying the gold Apple Watch Edition will get to jump the queue at stores and spend an hour trying out the watch in a private area with an expert staff member. Aside from that, you’ll also get two-year access to a dedicated Edition phone support line that works 24/7.

Now, if you opt for the stainless steel Watch, you get the option to have a “virtual personal setup” that will also have an Apple Store staff member guiding you through the smartwatch’s setup via video chat. If you get the Watch Sport, unfortunately, you’ll get the same assistance you would for an iPhone.
