Have been looking at upgrading my older series Apple watch through the Optus deal and saw this GPS only model deal come up today.
Seems to be the cheapest for a little while for the Series 8.
Note, this doesn't have cellular, it only connects through your iphone.
CamelCamelCamel.
The 41 cellular isn't on sale though? This is GPS.
Sorry I meant 41mm GPS. Although I bought silver after price matching David Jones.
Midnight is the only colour on sale. If you really want to save $32, you could return it if it hasn't been opened and buy Midnight at this price but is it really worth it? There will always be a cheaper price.
should always price match with officeworks 1st. as they reduce match by another 5%. got my starlight 41mm yesterday matching with david jones and paid 550.05. but this here is the better deal if ok with midnight
Would have, but I had a bunch of JB gift cards I wanted to use anyway
100% this. Always use OW first as a benchmark, failing that, move on to another retailer.
o this is just the wifi only version.
Unless you pay extra and are already with a big provider the esim is kinda useless in Australia.
How so? Truphone offers a $11/mo plan for unlimited calls and data just for Apple Watch. No need to be with the big 3…
Isn't the benefit of using Optus/Telstra/Vodafone that the eSIM is a duplicate of the one in your phone, ie. same phone number. Meaning you can go out with just you watch and people can still contact you on your normal number. I assume with the Truphone plan it will mean having multiple phone numbers.
@tomsco: If you’ve always got your watch with you I guess you could forward calls to it on the different number.
Not to mention the added battery drain.
lol esims are like in nearlly ever iphone there days haven't been a regular sim in years. They are very much used in Australia
It has WiFi?
yeah apple watches can connect to wifi
I have had the Esim series 6 with a $10 plan through Optus for over two yearsd and not once have I left the house with my watch but not my phone so for me the esim is worthless.
Which store is AMAZON price matching?
Officeworks has it at the same price but also in 4 different colours:

would officework price match amazon?
It's already "matched" (same price)
OW Price BEAT, not match.
Yes so can't beat if it's the same price already :-)
any point upgrading from the Apple Watch SE Gen1 (2020)?
I am updating so I can give my series 6 to my Mum and she can have her heartrate monitored.
Waiting for the JbHiFi clearance prices…..
Are the wrist band interchangeable?
Yep
I have a Stainless wrist band that came from my original Series 1 watch.
Still fits on all subsequent models and looks great (Weirdly people comment on the band design).
I also keep a bunch of $10 leather cheapo bands of different colours and styles in my drawer that I use when I want to match to my clothes or shoes and they mostly last well.
Could you pls provide some links pls ?
(My wrist size is way too small to fit the apple straps so need some options)
It's no longer available.
Naaaahh, Ford model T was the real deal. Let’s downvote all posts based on that.
Ah nuts, I grabbed the 41mm cellular for $579 a few days ago from JB 😑
