By Astrid Wendlandt and Pauline Askin PARIS/SYDNEY (Reuters) – Consumers flocked to Apple Inc's stores around the world on Friday to get the first close-up look at the tech giant's smartwatch, which the company expects will be its next runaway hit.

On April 24, consumers will be able to buy it online or by appointment in shops including trendy fashion boutiques in Paris, London and Tokyo, part of Apple's strategy of positioning the wearable computer as a must-have accessory. Testing Apple's mastery of consumer trends, the watch is an untried concept for the California-based company.
