Apple today updated its dedicated Apple Watch website with a brand new "Guided Tours" section that includes several Apple Watch walkthrough videos. The introductory video on the site, entitled "Welcome to Apple Watch," walks users through all of the things the Apple Watch can do. Apple Watch Guided Tours are also being featured on the main Apple site.

The site includes dedicated videos on various Apple Watch features, like Messages, Faces, and Digital Touch. Other video walkthroughs on features like Phone Calls, Siri, Maps, Music, Apple Pay, and more, are labeled as "Coming soon," and may be added over the next few days.

"Digital Touch" goes through sending sketches, taps, and heartbeats to contacts. Touching the side button of the Apple Watch gives you access to your friends list, where you can make a call, send a message, or send a Digital Touch. With Digital Touch, you can send a quick sketch, tap to send a tap to a friend, or hold two fingers on the screen to send a heartbeat.

These videos are also referenced within other areas of the Apple Watch site, with the Messages, for example, available in built-in apps section, and the Digital Touch video available in the "New Ways to Connect" section.

Today's walkthrough videos from Apple come a week ahead of Apple Watch pre-orders, which are set to begin on Friday, April 10 at 12:01 AM PT. April 10 will also mark the date when Apple begins offering in-store try-on sessions, giving customers the opportunity to test the Apple Watch out before its April 24 launch.

Update 6PM PT: Apple's added the Guided Tour videos to its YouTube channel.

Oh fun, because I've been giving them a guided tour of my bank account for years now.

At least it's guided?

I was actually more excited by the Watch than the 6 and 6 plus at the September keynote. I still bought an iPhone 6, but the Apple Watch is what I've been waiting for the past 7 months. I'm sure I'll be taking a look through this new material at least a couple of times between now and the 24th. It's going to be a weird experience knowing so much about a totally new product the moment I take it out of the box. I've felt that way regarding new iOS/iPhone features for the past few iterations too.

Watching the "Faces" walkthrough I just had an ephiphany (maybe I'm just slow). The reason Apple has been so stingy about being able to customize the lock screen on the iPhone is because they wanted to push people towards the Apple Watch!

I remember watching the ones for the original iPhone over and over again and it's what sold me on buying one.

These are really well done and make sense given its a totally new UI.

Unfortunately, it probably means many more people trying to order a space grey Sport model on 10th so glad I'm getting the Stainless Steel. Lol

Are you picking up the rMB on the 10th? I plan to order online and arrange for personal pick up. While I'm there, I'll test out the Watch for a bit.

Nope as I have a late 2014 rMBP, although I was tempted for portability purposes I just can't justify the cost....nice as it would be :)

Very excited!

It's nice to see the watch in its natural form rather than renders. Looks real nice!

Funny..... There's 7 more videos not released. I could see them releasing one a day until the 10th,if they started tomorrow.
