The company is selling Apple Watch variants at price starting from Rs 30,990 to Rs 140,00,00 per unit through its over 100 Apple Premium stores in the country.

 

There are three variants in two different display sizes --38 mm and 42 mm -- and customers will have an option to buy from 40 combinations.
