Apple Watch deals for Xmas?

faded.memories said:
I've been thinking about pickup up the watch and with a recent surge in contract work to help justify a splurge I'm pretty close, so I'm thinking if I could score the double deal at Target it would be a no-brainer.

That said, what are the watches sporting software-wise out of the box? It matters to me as I don't want to lose my Jailbreak to use the watch. I'm on 8.4, and if the watches are on Watch OS 2 that would leave me with something pretty that I couldn't use yet until a Jailbreak comes out for 9.x. I'm guessing they're all on version 1, but it's also possible that newer shipments have gone out with 2 pre-installed.

So for anyone that cares to report, what was yours running out-of-the-box and when did you pick it up?

Thanks!

I unboxed two AWs recently and both of them came with OS 1 and needed updating to OS 2.
 
If you don't live in NY you can get the same deal best buy has right now at B&H Photo. I have ordered from them many times, great site and prices (and no tax for me ;))

Looks like Target has caught on .... no luck getting both the discount and the gift card. Also wanted me to wait at guest services for price match, so I hopped in the car and went over to BB where a rep helped me promptly. I had an ATT gift card for 150, so with taxes and apple care my bill came to 226 for a AW Sport 42mm. Not bad huh?

Good call bopat23.

I'm thisclose to just ordering the darn thing from B&H. Want it for a x-mas gift for hubby, although he's back and forth on getting one now or waiting. I do have a Visa $100 giftcard. Think I will just do it.

I did the B&H to avoid sales tax. Its free expedited shipping which ends up being 3 days for delivery

Thank you Kurri. Yeah, I like B&H...looks like I missed the deadline for shipping today. Expedited shipping is nice!
 
I bought a 38mm AWS from from an Apple store in November for a Christmas present from my wife to me (yes, I have an awesome wife).
After 2 weeks of trying to get Discover to price match the current BestBuy and B&H deals, I just decided to order a new one from B&H and return to Apple Store one (still un-opened and I bought it in the Holiday return period). I figure losing the ApplePay 10% isn't too bad when I can also get the sales tax back by buying at B&H.
The watch is supposed to arrive at my in-laws on Monday the 21st.
