Walmart has started selling the Apple Watch on its website and in a “small amount” of undisclosed brick-and-mortar stores.
Currently, the retail giant only carries the Sport model in 38 or 42mm in a silver or gray case. As of now, it retails for $349 to $399 USD. Additionally, Walmart supplies accessories for the watch, including coloured cases and bands, charging stations and screen protectors.
This announcement comes two months after Target announced its retailing of 20 different versions of the Apple Watch. Best Buy also sells the line of smartwatches, discounting all of the models it carries by $100. CJ
