Apple to secure its expensive, luxurious smartwatches inside new store safes

Apple is to install new safes at its brick and mortar stores, in preparation for the launch of the more expensive gold Apple Watch variants. Looking at how traditional jewelry stores operate, it's reported that the company will use the safes to not only house units for sale, but also demo units for overnight storage. According to 9to5Mac sources:

The custom-designed safes will be outfitted with Apple Watch MagSafe chargers in order to keep the demo units charged up and ready to go for the next day of business. Apple has already begun installing the safes in some stores ahead of the Apple Watch's expected release April

Reports have claimed the more expensive versions of the Apple Watch are set to cost in the thousands of dollars, warranting such security measures to be in place prior to launch. What is known for definite is the high-end Apple Watches will be considerably more expensive than the entry model, though we'll have to wait for more details to emerge as release dates draw near.
