Where to buy Apple Watch accessories: Stands, bands and protectors

Starting August 7, 2015, consumers will be able to purchase an Apple Watch in 100 Best Buy stores nationwide, as well as on BestBuy.com. The retailer plans to add 200 more stores as the holidays near to accommodate holiday shoppers looking for the watch.

Best Buy will stock 16 Apple Watch models in the Sport and Watch range, including both the 38mm and 42mm sizes, but is saving its priciest line, the Apple Watch Edition, for its own retail stores. Aside from the watch itself, Best Buy will also have 50 accessories for the Apple Watch, which will include bands, stands, chargers, screen protectors and more.

Aside from Best Buy, you can also purchase Apple Watch accessories at the following retailers:
