50% off a range of series 8 stainless steel 41mm and 45mm , and Ultra models. All are with cellular and there is a wide range of colours and band options. Starting at $549 for a 41mm series 8 up to $649 for a 49mm Ultra. Limit of 1 per customer.
I don't expect these will last that long, and as usual price can be reduced further with giftcards.
The store organizes the Uber. You don’t have to do anything except select Uber as the delivery method
Oh wow! Free?
I don’t have that option so probably no stock in my state.
Damn downvoted for an honest question… ruthless lol
One of the delivery option (think it was $12) was Uber. You would need to provide the driver a PIN to receive the watch. I think that option is available if you’re within range of the store to collect it from.
This inevitably means the jew watch X will be a game changer which will be v released in September and will be so different that previous versions will look really old and ancient more importantly will have little to nil resale value as it changes shape after a decade
Ultra X will also change
How did they make a watch adhere to Judaism?
Learn English first, you clown
typing on a phone means mistakes - New Watch X
Appke watch x and ultra x will be a completely reimagined supercharged watch apple has ever made it will separt from the last decade of old tech old shape and ir will be ground breaking earth shattering eye popping as apple moves to the next decade of watch X tech
Who's Appke? I'm still stuck on the fact the Apple watch is now Jewish.
typo corrigendum here to Apple - obviously
Why am I not buying a series 9 for cheaper. At a glance , everything is the same except for water sport?
You may be comparing GPS vs Cellular or S8 stainless steel/sapphire glass vs regular S9 aluminium models.
If you need GPS and want stainless steel/sapphire glass. Otherwise, get the latest one.
Picked one up, thanks OP!
Just wondering how are people using this if they are Boost mobile 365day plan?
Don’t think you can add this to apple watches? I know it’s possible with samsung watches.
Last I checked number share/one number/etc. are only supported on select primary carrier plans (Telstra / voda / Optus) usually a $5/mth add on. In saying this I stopped paying for cellular on my watch as I found I wasn’t really getting much from it. The only time that I have my watch and am outside Bluetooth range of my phone is when I’m running. GPS works without cellular for tracking distance etc. and spotify now supports downloading songs to watch so dont need cellular to stream music.

Unlimited text, data, calls
They have a 7 day free trial
Is this cheap?
Unsure if it’s me only but i couldn’t see discount on ultra models. Any link please ?
Instore only now. Or even OOS. You’re late to the party.
happy with my series 6… other than battery life, can't justify the upgrade yet
Charging is much faster since 7
In the same boat. Tempted but hard to fault the 6
I've always wanted a Stainless Steel one, but didn't get because of price. Great price, but still can't bring myself round to going from my Series 7 to a Series 8, particularly with the Series 10/X around the corner.
I think it's still a very good deal for the Stainless Steel model at around 46% below retail.
The Watch X will be a significant change but with a minimum +50% price hike over this deal.
Yeah, I'll just go for the regular aluminium (or equivalent) for the Series 10/X, so will probably be a similar price… trying to hard to resist the temptation on this.
I got one of the ultra ones from the store , Thanks for your post.
Which store? Any left? Wonder if it is worth trying my local
Jbhifi Erina and Castle Hill both had a bit of stock left after lunch, not sure now though
I managed to order the Ultra 49mm in alpine green for $649 online just then. Let’s see what happens!
Just got one too $655 delivered
Apple Watch Ultra 49mm Titanium Case GPS + Cellular Alpine Loop (Starlight)[Medium]
How?? Can you please link? Nothing is showing up for me :(
It didn't last long. Maybe I got the last one. Keep refreshing and you may get lucky. Impulse buy for me but it is a good price for Ultra I think, similar to what you would pay for refurbished on eBay.
me too.
Fingers crossed.
I saw a couple pop up throughout the day and was unsuccessful processing the order. It's disappeared from their website.
Hopefully it's just extra stock they are finding in their warehouse or something.
Which color ?
@punkel: Starlight with a medium band.
I saw an orange with a medium band pop up around mid day. Was unable to checkout with it.
What’s your estimated delivery date?
i also managed to get an order through on starlight, hopefully it goes through. estimated delivery jul 1
28 Jun for me with Aus Post
That's mean I missed twice 😞
Managed to add an ultra into cart but cannot checkout - stuck at loading icon 😔
When was that?
It sold out after you added it to cart. You won’t be able to checkout
fffff just purchased a reburbed Ultra for $650… This ruined my day!
If anyone bought apple ultra and change their mind in Sydney, happy to get the stock from you!
Spewing I missed this out
Thanks for this. Picked up silver 45 stainless steel. Slight upgrade from the series 3.
Has anyone had Ultra shipped to them?
Got confirmation of series 8 being shipped first thing in the morning. But no word about Ultra just yet even though I paid for express shipping.
Ultra still showing as unfulfilled for me.
Same here, ordered the ultra with orange band around 3am. Hopefully just delay in processing and no stock issues
Ultra is showing as ETA as August. I’ll probably cancel myself if it isn’t beforehand
Oh really? That’s weird. Mines showing ETA 28th June
Mine is still showing 27th June.
When did you place your order ? And what was the original ETA?
Yesterday. ETA was always August
They saved you the hassle by cancelling for you.
Is the ultra available in store , can anyone confirm?
The white one looks nice, hard to justify as I don’t wear a watch….
This is really tempting - but looking at the difference between my current series 4 and this series 8 doesn't seem worth it.
These are deff the models to buy imo, the sapphire glass makes all the difference my series 4 is in perfect condition on the screen. Also the black tends to show scuffs less.
Edit - it seems watch OS 11 is only the series 6 onwards, so that's something to consider.
With Apple Watches, the cost of replacing the battery is prohibitive. Even if your series 4 works well, if the battery health is below 80%, then you’d save more by replacing the watch right now before it becomes worthless.
How do I know? I paid $110 to get the battery replaced. Apple wanted $169. But now, the haptics won’t work and without that alert, it is useless for me.
I consider Apple Watches are use and throw now and not worth the repair.
If you replaced the battery at Apple they would have done a good job. Pay using gift cards so knock off 10% (depending on where you get them from maybe more).
Amazon is having a similar deal going on, not as much discount but close. If anyone wants to make a whole post, be my guest.
https://www.amazon.com.au/Apple-Watch-Cellular-45mm-Smart/dp…
Probably price matching this JB deal.
Amazon late to the party. Wish its algorithms would have picked up on the Ultra prices and priced match that as well.
Order cancelled for the Ultra. No stock
When did you order?
Yesterday around 3pm
I see. That’s when they suddenly restocked. Looks like not much left after the deal posted earlier in the morning.
Which one?? I’m hoping they are sourcing stock from warehouse or directly from Apple
Why is the 45mm Silver Stainless Steel the least popular one?
Wondering the same thing. I’m happy to get it. I reckon it looks sweet.
The advantage of the silver is the ability to buff out the scratches using a metal polisher such as Cape Cod. Once you scratch up the graphite or gold, it’s game over.
Probably the sports band. The graphite SS comes with the stainless steel band
Thanks. Decided to upgrade from a series 5 aluminium to the series 8 stainless.
It’s all incremental, but the extra battery life and better materials feel worth it.
May be a silly question but I’m gonna ask it. When you buy an Apple Watch from apple themselves. You can tell them you don’t want the band it comes with and they will discount that sports band off the price of a band that you want. I’m guessing since you’re buying from JB you don’t have this option to walk into Apple and trade this band towards a band your after? If it’s brand new and sealed?
Anyone know the answer to this, I’m guessing you can’t but thought I’d ask
Might be worth a try. Don’t mind the starlight band but might get dirty quickly especially as I will be using the watch for running.
Pleased to see the order was confirmed this morning and tracking number assigned. Very happy to get an Ultra at this price.
When did you order?
22nd just before 4.30pm when they restocked
Tracking number received this morning around 5am guys.
Looks like only series 8 left.. can't see any ultra ones on special…. too late I guess
Holy crap.
Just noticed the 6Aug delivery date in my confirmation :(
ultra?
No, just a 45mm Gold. Queried support and they found store stock so no longer a wait.
My ultra order became “unknown” - order confirmed today around 6am.
Is anyone on the same boat?
Same.
Do you have a tracking?
Yes I do but i was not aware whether it was there before the status change
This tracking appeared after this “unknown” confirmation status.
I hope this is a good sign and not a glitch.
Same, I can see a tracking number though
My order says delayed, funny thing is it's the one watch still available to purchase. Stainless steel 45mm.
Just managed to purchase a 41mm graphite stainless (1:55pm on the 24th). I had it sitting in my cart for a couple of days unable to checkout (obviously no stock), but today it worked?
I will update this if the order gets cancelled. Fingers crossed it ships!
Ultra packed and in transit with Aus Post :)
Hey mate what time did you order that and which model is that please?
22nd just before 4.30pm when they restocked. Ultra with Alpine loop in starlight.
Got the email this arvo. Ultra on the way!
Ultra back in stock
just bought one, don't need it but bought anyway :(
How does that work? Uber driver just walk in and pick it up for you when you call up and tell the store to expect them?
