So looks like no Apple stores the 24. Apple Watch will reportedly be available for purchase in some high-end stores on April 24 | iMore
Sounds like a PR gaffe to me, but I believe in first come - first served.

Agree. You'd think they would worry about getting all the preorders handled first then do in store launch.
We go through this every time Apple releases a product.
If they're in the store, we hear "why weren't there more available for the online pre-orders".
If they concentrate on the pre-orders, we get "why aren't they available in the stores".
For a company as successful as Apple, they seem to have a hard time making everyone happy.
It's not "pleasing everyone" it's they seem to be unsure how they want to launch it. And selling 10 or so million phones in a weekend is a lot more than 2-3 million watches and having a 2+ month wait.
It's never about "pleasing everyone". It's all about "pleasing the OP".
