  • "First Apple Watch Data: One Just Isn't Enough" ["Among those buying an Apple Watch, 72 percent purchased an Apple product in the past two years (iPhone, Apple computer or iPad), and 21 percent of them pre-ordered an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus mere months ago. Nearly one-third purchased two Apple products and 11 percent bought all three devices, in addition to their new watch. As expected,  most consumers–62 percent– purchased the less-expensive Sport model. However,  many Apple Watch buyers invested in the pricier case but the cheapest band, with more than one third adding a black or white Sport band."]  Slice Intelligence 8:46 PM
