I see some stores are now selling the Apple Watch Ultra for £669 so I wonder if Apple price match.

At this point, I'd wait to see what's new next month.

If you don't go with a new model, I'm sure you'd find even better deals on existing models.

Apple doesn’t price match.

Purchase the watch 3rd party if you want a deal, Apple doesn't budge on their prices ever.
Not true. Apple will price match up to 10% off the retail value. It’s not something they advertise but they will do it. I’ve done it at least a dozen times over the years (Multiple stores too so it’s not just one store).

Buying from an Apple authorized dealer (Best Buy, Costco, Walmart or Amazon…when they are the seller, Microcenter, others….. is in effect the same as purchasing directly from Apple. You get the full Apple Warranty beginning on the day of your purchase. Costco for example has the Ultra for $700 right now.

Now buying from a 3rd party that’s not an Apple authorized dealer is another story altogether. Personally, I don’t do that.

I once got a price match at an Apple Store. The conditions were that it was a retail store (MicroCenter), the item was in stock, and the items matched exactly. It happened that the MicroCenter was only a few blocks away.

Why not just get it at Microcenter instead. It’s an Apple authorized dealer…so full warranty and the return policy is better. 30 days.

We were at the Apple Store for another reason, or in the mall for another reason. I just bought a m2 mini at MicroCenter, but I went there on purpose to buy the mini since the configuration I wanted was on sale there.

Don't forget if you are a veteran to check the Apple military/veteran website as they normally are 10% off if you are a USA veteran. As a example a Apple Watch ultra is $719.00 and a base model Apple Watch GPS is $359.00

Anyone seen anything lower than £699?

John Lewis have been selling the Ultra for £669 for a few weeks now. Might go down further now the Ultra 2 is out. Curry’s are also selling it at this price.
