Apple CEO Tim Cook said customers’ response to the Watch has been “overwhelmingly positive,”
“It’s been really great to see the reaction of customers. We couldn’t be happier,” Cook said during a conference call.
Still, many customers will wait until June or later to get the watch, Which fetches between $349 and $17,000 depending on the version.
