An Apple spokesperson, in a statement to iMore:

Customers love Apple Watch, and we are thrilled to begin offering it at Best Buy locations across the U.S. starting August 7. More than 300 Best Buy stores will carry Apple Watch and Apple Watch Sport models in time for the holiday shopping season.

Say what you will about Best Buy, but I’d rather travel the twenty minutes to my local Best Buy than nearly two and a half hours to the closest Apple Store.
