Official Apple Watch Charging Dock Packaging Shown in Leaked Photo

These were in stock at Covent Garden, London store today.

Was tempted to get one just to check it out but at £65, nah...

Lol when it will be officialised, you will say "meeh that's not bad.." Because it's Apple. I'm the same but i'm trying to work on that

I don't think it's bad per sé it's just something I noticed. It's one of those details that I think Apple would be on top of. The packaging on anything I've ever bought that was made by Apple was perfectly tight in the corners. So much so that only the very tip of a knife would slide in between the top and bottom of the box. In the big scheme of things it doesn't really matter :D

Yeah they're just on the shelves with the Sport Bands.

Well we've all seen that the inventory people at Apple couldn't organise a pi**-up in a brewery, so not surprising! :p

i'm wondering if that's how the leaked photo was acquired - maybe they actually bought it (in Germany?) and stores hadn't been told it was coming or what to do with it and just put them on shelves rather than waiting for the "launch"...

hmmm...

did you check the back of the packaging?
 
Whatever country you live in, take the equivalent of £29 off the price (as it includes a 2m charging cable) and it's really not that expensive.

Yes I checked the back and it was £65 and exactly as shown in the leaked photos.

On another note, the watch strap display at Covent Garden is seriously underwhelming. They only have about five colours on display with the matching iPhone cases and iPad covers, and today they just plonked the new docks in front of the straps. Very haphazard.
 
It looks hideous.

That cannot be an Apple product.

If it is, they don't have any more ideas. They ran out.

apple sport is only $399 in the US. $100 is only 25% more. in that case, it is cheaper there considering the exchange rate.

i don't know why you use the word "only" when you incorrectly put the price too high.

it's $349.
 
ok sorry, i was quoting the price for the 42mm. still, that is still a 42% markup - about what the current exchange rate is.

hence the australian person's exasperation at the cost of the charging dock being relatively higher...
