Apple cuts entry price of Apple Watch to $299

Last updated

Apple gave its wearable Apple Watch a permanent $50 price cut on Monday, with the 38-millimeter model now available starting at $299.

The larger 42-millimeter Apple Watch will presumably also see its price reduced to $349. The wearable device launched a year ago starting at $349.

Apple is expected to update its lineup with a new second-generation model later this year. New bands and styles were announced on Monday alongside the price cut.

Pricing remains unchanged for the stainless steel Apple Watch, as well as the gold Apple Watch Edition.

Still waiting for the second generation watch.  With so many improvements to be had and the watch being nearly a year old, I'm not buying the first generation model.

Quite a few shops in the UK started discounting it a few weeks ago, so I suspect they were aware of the price drop.

but what about all the improvements to be had in the third gen? why not wait for that one? 

had you gotten it at launch you'd likely have had two years worth of value if the next gen doesn't come out for another year.
