Apple Watch and Bands Packaging

[949011]

I may be in the minority here, but I have no clue (nor does Apple chat support specialists) on how the Apple Watch and accompanying band are going to be packaged. Will the band be packaged with the Apple Watch or simply bundled together (but in a different physical package)?

This would influence my decision as to which specific watch model I get and which bands I purchase separately (mainly for resale purposes).

The only real "guide" is the wording on apples website.

I can not think of any precedent where Apple includes the complete packaging for any accessory included by default with any product. For example, the iPhone includes the ear buds in their plastic case, but, not the necessary stickers or paper cover that you get at the store when buying them separately.

So, based on experience, I'm going to guess that the watch will not only include the band without separate packaging, but, it will be ON the watch. In fact, I bet the watches will be sold in clear boxes, sized similar to conventional watch boxes, but, looking like one of the iPod type display boxes, with the watch ready to slide out, pair, and put on right away (and then take off and resize immediately in the case of the link bracelet!)
