Apple said it would launch its watch in seven more countries, including Italy, Mexico, Spain and South Korea, from June 26, as demand surpasses expectations "in every way".
The company has not given any sales figures for the Apple Watch since it began taking orders in April, but has often said demand was outstripping supply.
The watch will also be launched in Singapore, Switzerland and Taiwan. It is currently available in the United States, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan and the UK.
Late last month, Apple rolled out the first software update for Apple Watch within one month of its release, bringing up Watch OS 1.0 to Watch OS 1.0.1. It is worth noting that the wearable is receiving the update via its Watch companion app on iPhone devices.
Weighing in at 51.6MB, the Apple Watch OS 1.0.1 update fixes multiple bugs and improves the overall performance of the smartwatch. The update screen on the iPhone companion app lists six items under the "Improved Performance" section.
The Apple Watch OS update brings several improvements for features including Siri; measuring stand activity; calculating calories for indoor cycling and rowing workouts; distance and pace during outdoor walk and run workouts; accessibility, and third-party apps. The update also brings display support for new emoji characters and support for seven new languages - Brazilian Portuguese, Danish, Dutch, Swedish, Russian, Thai, and Turkish.
To install the update, the Apple Watch needs to have minimum of 50 percent of battery charge, and should be in range with the synced iPhone handset while connected to its charger.
