No Apple Watch sales numbers revealed. They obviously sold millions on launch but I believe they don't want to set expectations too high by revealing the number until they see next quarters results. Making the overhyped launch sales the de facto benchmark will hurt the stock in the future because it will be a tough number to top. The more likely scenario will be that they'll wait till the year is over and come out with an average sales number for the year.

Apple Watch is on a steeper trajectory than iPhone and iPad were. >The Apple Watch has sold more units in the first nine weeks following its launch than either the iPhone or iPad did at the same point after their respective releases, Apple CFO Luca Maestri said on Tuesday.

  I believe thats mostly due to the combination of the hype surrounding the release of Apple's latest product line, and the fact that Apple has A LOT more potential customers paying attention to it than it did when it launched the iPad and definitely when it launched the iPhone.

    Also Apple launched the iWatch in more countries than the iPhone and iPad, including China (their second biggest market). The iWatch demand and initial sales will be more front loaded than the iPhone and iPad

    Also: the aWatch is cheaper than either the iPhone or the iPad was at launch (both cost $500 for the cheapest model, as opposed to $350 for the watch).

Note that Apple isn't into surprises -- they announced in advance that they weren't going to break out Apple Watch sales. And they didn't. That was already priced into the stock.
