Sources of 9to5Mac and MacRumors reveal that Sprint and T-Mobile will start selling the Apple Watch from September 25 in the United States.
It is unclear what variants of the Apple Watch T-Mobile will sell. Sprint, however, will have the 38mm and 42mm Apple Watch Watch Sport and Stainless steel variants for sale. It will also have the recently announced Space Black Stainless Steel model of the Apple Watch with a black Sport band for sale.
Additionally, the Now network will sell a number of bands and other accessories for the Apple Watch, though majority of them will be made by third-parties and not Apple.
The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s will go on sale in the United States and other launch countries on the same day, so it makes sense for carriers to start selling the Apple Watch through their retail stores on the same day. This will allow them to push the Apple Watch as a companion for the new iPhones thereby increasing their sales. It is not yet clear if AT&T and Verizon will also start selling the Apple Watch through their retail stores from Sept. 25 or not, but it is likely that they will jump in on the bandwagon.
