Apple has started training employees on the Apple Watch

The release of the Apple Watch draws ever closer and Apple employees at the company’s retail stores in numerous countries have already started to receive training for the smartwatch. Apple plans to release the device in a couple of months and, while the employee training program supposedly doesn’t reveal much, it highlights how close we are to the launch. 

Apple today began training its retail store employees in multiple countries, including the U.S. and the U.K, about the upcoming Apple Watch. The training is said to not divulge many new details, but the beginning of the training program does represent Apple’s first move on the retail employee level in preparing for the Watch. We reported last week that Apple is preparing to use traditional jewelry store tactics for the gold version of the Apple Watch. Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the wearable will launch by April. Apple will begin flying out select employees for more hands-on training over the next couple of weeks.
