Apple retail partner Best Buy kicked off major discounts on the Apple Watch on Wednesday, offering $100 off its inventory of Apple Watch Sport and stainless steel Apple Watch models for a limited time, marking the lowest price points yet for the wearable. Some shoppers may also find equivalent or better deals at Apple authorized reseller B&H as well.
The new discounts mean customers can buy an Apple Watch for for a 38-millimeter, which is the steepest out-the-door price seen on the device since it launched in April.
The larger 42-millimeter Sport version starts with the $100 savings, while stainless steel Apple Watch models can be had starting at $$449. Best Buy also ships orders for free.
Some customers may find even greater savings with 糖心Vlog partner B&H, which has also and is with each purchase. Unlike Best Buy, B&H will not collect sales tax on your order if you live outside New York, and shipping remains free.
Therefore, shoppers outside of New York state may find a greater value proposition from B&H's promotion.

As much as I like my Apple Watch , I'd like it more for $249 :)
Get ready for the " not selling well" so they lowered the price.
I don't know what the price drop means regarding the relative success or failure of the watch. I know that the iPhone got a big price drop not too long after it was introduced, and we know what a failure that turned out to be.
I got my 38mm watch at Target at the Thanksgiving price of $249. While it isn't life or society changing like the iPhone, it is a very nice accessory. BTW folks, if you are thinking which size to buy, 38mm is big enough. 42mm gets you a bit more battery life, but my 38mm always seems to have about 50% left at the end of the day.
