I was looking for Apple Watch and found this deal from Officeworks. Not a bad price.
Other retailers are also having discounted price for Apple Watch.
For example, $599 for 45mm at JB HI-FI, and $598 at Amazon.
I end up purchase from JB HI-FI because I can use my gift cards.
I paid $320 for S6 Red with GPS + Cellular and not sure it was such a good deal afterall?? I see refurbished cheaper. And trade in only offer $120-$160. Not sure whether to keep or return it now..
That’s a pretty good deal for what is still a very good watch
its an amazing deal, you cant compare it with a refurbished one which has 50% of the battery life
Apple refurbs have a new battery
I paid about the same for the larger S6 stainless steel with the Milanese loop band, cellular, on eBay. Spent weeks hunting eBay for one in mint condition though. In hindsight probably wasn't worth all that time and effort to save a few hundred bucks. Very happy with it though, battery health was 100%. I've gained a lot of weight recently so all the smaller older Apple Watches I own now look too small on my fat wrists, whereas the bigger Watch used to look too big on my thin wrists.
Only yesterday I purchased this watch at TGG. I guess it's time to check TGG's 30-day price guarantee.
edit: I've just realised this is an extra service at TGG.
So my watch is unboxed and in use. Do you think it's still possible to get one at OW and return it, unboxed to TGG?
Buy new one from ow, then return that one to tgg :) you’re welcome
OW wdocuments the serial number of Apple product purchases FWIW
but TTG didnt?
@highlandtran: I don't see the serial number on the online receipt, nor on the paper invoice.
However I'd expect that serial to be registered somewhere at TGG, as this is what Apple might require from the retailers…
A year ago I didn’t know the extra service thing I asked TGG to refund me the difference and they did. Then they did also mention it’s an extra service but they happy to just refund me at that time. So I guess it’s really depends and not that restricted, just pop in and ask if it’s not too far.
Update: Over phone I was told to go to the TGG store where I bought it. There, they refunded the difference without questions.
I didn't purchase any extra services, nor I hold any membership. So that's a plus for TGG.
Wish they still made this form factor for the titanium model
I had Series 9 45mm and moved to Ultra1, and don’t regret it. Ultra might look bulky and heavier, but once you start wearing it regularly, you don’t even feel the difference. Personal choice though, as some like this form factor.
Worth holding out for Series 10? might be interesting with sleep apnea detection
Confirmed tho?
no just rumours
Got 45mm S9 for $598 Dec 23. Prices are holding up well 🤔
Brothers, sisters - this is your sign. We must HODL! You've made it this far, do not give up now.
For those that prefer the Sport Loop band, Amazon has the Apple Watch S9 GPS 41mm Silver with Winter Blue Sport Loop for $549.
just received the refurbished watch this morning …. should I be bothered to return it and get this one? ……..
If the refurbished was more expensive, be bothered.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A good deal if you can find Apple Watch Series 9 GPS for under $600, and $650 for GPS+Cellular..
I can't be bothered charging it every night.
What are you going to do then?
just won't buy it.

What's the catch with Facebook marketplace sellers selling brand new AW S9 for under $400?
Possibly purchased with stolen credit cards.
Good find.. Better prices than Apple refurbished
