Been a long time lurker in OzBargain, thought its about time I post something here to help someone out.

I was looking for an Apple Watch Series 8 for a while and I just stumbled on this deal where Amazon dropped their Apple Watch Series 8 - 45mm to $629.

I was able to price beat it via Officeworks which dropped it down to $597.55 which may be the lowest price for the Apple Watch Series 8 - 45mm.

While many others would recommend getting the Series 7 equivalent from the Apple Refurb Store, it never seems to be ever back in stock.

Not a huge deal but a deal is still a deal.

      i did do the same as OP yesterday prolly about a few hours before, but just didn't think its that much a deal. I was in a hurry to buy since it is a gift that i wanted to take out of country in a few days so i could claim gst on it.

      All I want is a longer battery life which doesn't cost double like the Ultra does before I get one

      • Larsson on 01/03/2023 - 14:18

        and fast charging, though I am on the first gen SE so maybe the current fast charging speed is good for me. but yeah. my only complaint is the need to charge it once a day at minimum.

        • ChillBro on 01/03/2023 - 14:26

          Exactly, I'm not keen on the idea of having to charge my watch 2-3x more often than my phone lol

          I am pretty happy with my 7 charging, 20 min top up before work and 20 min charge while I eat dinner gets me through the day.
          Could prob forgo the end of day one tbh and then just do a longer charge in morning .

            @Jimothy Wongingtons: This comment chain about charging watches reads like satire.

            I am pretty happy with my 7 charging, 20 min top up before work and 20 min charge while I eat dinner gets me through the day.

            This is a fabulous crescendo.

              @ssfps: Yes, very witty and intelligent observation, I mean, it's just a watch right? I'm sure you made the same cutting remarks about dumb phone battery life compared to smart phones too.

                @Randolph Duke: The fact you defend charging a watch twice a day because it lets you take your eyes off the road to read an sms or email notification while driving instead of having it read to you, makes me even more amused.

        • onlinepred on 01/03/2023 - 15:32

          Gen 8 charges from 20% to 80% in like 20 mins. I do that when I have a shower and get ready. Once a day.

      • Alexthefunk on 01/03/2023 - 16:05

        I have this exact model, it last me 2 days without charging.
        I wear it for about 10 hours a day with 1.5 hours being during exercise.

          You are not meant to blindly rely on health data from a smart watch, it is just a snapshot to give you a decent idea where you are at. If accuracy is a must and it is crucial to health, an actual medical professional with validated and accurate devices will get you what you need

      They don't, however they did offer me a $20 discount, then I used two Amex cards with HN offer to buy 2 x $300 gift cards. $679-20-50-50 = $559

      "Unfortunately we are unable to price match this item as we deem competitors price significantly below market value and recommended retail price as per our exclusions, apologies for any inconveniences."

        They should just call it a haggling policy.

    yeah I looked at these before I got a apple watch ultra simple put the apple watch ultra has insane battery life. and a massive screen. Yes its more expensive but its a highquality watch as well made of titanium and also alot more features that all the other apple watches.

    • onlinepred on 01/03/2023 - 15:34
      +1

      It doesn’t have insane battery life. Just better than bad. It’s also far more expensive and it’s huge. If you take the watch off for 20mins a day then that’s all you need to charge it back up.

      • kungfuman on 01/03/2023 - 15:39
        -1

        3 days straight of power before I need to charge it. Sooo not sure what you mean but I havent' had any other apple watch that could last more than 1 days

        • onlinepred on 01/03/2023 - 15:49
          -1

          It lasts 2 days for me when I don’t go for a run. So you get an extra day? You track sleep and heart rate?

          • kungfuman on 01/03/2023 - 15:50
            -2

            @onlinepred: I never track sleep it wastes battery. I turn off functions I don't need.

            • onlinepred on 01/03/2023 - 16:38
              +2

              @kungfuman: Well there you go, the regular lasts me almost 2 full days with sleep tracking and heart rate tracking. I think if I turned that off I would get better battery life than that. So for nearly double the price, you are getting MAX 1/3 better battery life, and that's only because you aren't using all the features right? So not really insane battery life at all. The only reason you would get the max is potentially for durability/style preferences/active features - so for you, clearly just durability and slightly better battery life? That's a lot to pay for that!!

                -2

                @onlinepred: I couldn' get the normal apple watch to go more than a day and half with every thing turned off so I dont know how you achived this but the ultra was very surpricing.

                • onlinepred on 01/03/2023 - 16:42
                  -1

                  @kungfuman: Series 8 45mm? That's surprising given your limited use of features, are you using it to track exercise daily etc? I was getting 4 days out of my old Samsung Galaxy active 2 watch, so apply in general are way behind in the watch battery life.

            • quikstix on 01/03/2023 - 21:45

              @kungfuman: Lol you don’t use sleep tracking coz it wastes battery but claim it has an insane battery… if you have to turn features off and not use sleep tracking to get 3 days it does not have an insane battery lol

              • kungfuman on 02/03/2023 - 08:48
                -1

                @quikstix: there is no apple watch that has any where near the battery life of a apple watch ultra. So for an apple watch its insane.

                But if we are talking actually smart watchs as a whole then nothing can match a pebble that was 30 DAYS of battery life or more.

    • Fredfloresjr on 01/03/2023 - 16:00

      Same. My 24/7 buddy.

    • FrugalNotStingy on 01/03/2023 - 16:12

      Totally agree. The Apple Watch Ultra is not much more expensive than the stainless steel regular Apple Watch plus there is no titanium option for Apple Watch 8. To me, the Ultra is quite reasonably priced given what Apple usually charges for their higher end product options.

  • melbourne guy on 01/03/2023 - 15:33

    If they can release a watch that has the features of the ultra but packs it into the style of the regular watch for a cheaper price, I would buy in an instant

    • FrugalNotStingy on 01/03/2023 - 15:52
      +2

      The Ultra doesn‘t look bad but rather look rugged. I first thought it wasn’t for me but after I got one, I find it looks nice and don‘t regret my decision. It‘s not your normal dress style watch but neither is the regular Apple Watch.

    • MrsJones on 02/03/2023 - 11:02

      Agree. The Ultra is so absolutely ridiculously huge. It’s literally wider than my wrist.

    • jasecutler on 14/03/2023 - 05:17

      Not always a better deal, but at $454 it would be a no brainer for the diff in price even at $597.
