For those of you who haven't been drooling over it, the Apple Watch became available for pre-order today (4/10) at 12:01 AM Pacific time. As many suspected, it wasn't long before shipping times for certain models started being pushed back.

The app features three categories; Fresh, Hot and Scores. The Fresh and Hot sections include links to trending video clips, memes and stories in an easy to use news feed.

Just as with any new Apple product, it’s time for photos and analysis of the packaging surrounding the latest device. Apple Watch is the first iOS-based device to focus on fashion, and it ships ready to wear and use.

The outer box resembles Apple TV or Mac Mini packaging, which lifts off vertically. Inside, the Apple Watch is encased in a rounded case with slots to suspend the body of the device. The band has a retainer which keeps its shape, with the remaining contents of the box packaged in the bottom of the assembly.

The Apple Watch will include its own suite of fitness apps and features when it begins shipping on April 24.

Apple Watch users will also be able to install third-party apps to monitor their various fitness activities. Apple has already listed Nike+ Running as one of the first fitness apps that will be available for the Watch on April 24, but if that is not enough, here are five more apps that will be Apple Watch-ready at launch.
