Apple CEO Tim Cook announced this week that all staff at the company will be eligible to receive a 50 per cent discount on Apple Watch and Apple Watch Sport (though not on the US$10,000+ gold Apple Watch Edition).

Cook emailed a memo to the company yesterday offering the discount, according to Fortune magazine.

“I know many of you have been looking forward to choosing an Apple Watch for yourselves. We want to make it easy for you,” he wrote.

He added that the Employee Purchase Plan will be valid from Friday in all initial launch markets.
