Chances of a discount on Black Friday?

You mean they won't have any for sale? Damn..
It's been a while since the release id expect them to be stocked up.. Do you think other stores won't have it as well? Online orders and stuff
I do not know that. All I know now is they have few if any Stainless or Black Stainless 42mm.
Apple stores do not have but that could change quickly if Apple has a huge slug of inventory to release. Still taking 3-4 weeks to get one from Apple. They have lost a lot of sales.

The 42mm series 2 are the more difficult watches to come by.
The only "discount" I've seen is Kohl's offering $15 Kohl's Cash for every $50 spent, and they are going to start stocking the Apple Watch at certain stores and online. This would combine with their Yes2You rewards where you earn $5 for every $100 spent. So, a 38mm Apple Watch series 2 would net you $105 Kohl's Cash and $15 in the Yes2You rewards. The Kohl's cash must be used between 11/27 and 12/5 though. The deal runs 11/21-11/26. They also state no other deals or promotions apply to the Apple Watch; unless you had previous Kohl's cash or Yes2You rewards to spend on the watch.
This isn't really a discount unless you find a way to spend that Kohl's cash on stuff you need everyday or other gifts, but it is a decent deal.
Usually stores have a sale, but discounts for Apple products are very minimal. There is a wiki from 2015, so you can see what to possibly expect:

I don't know how they could offer Black Friday deals considering there are almost no watches available to purchase.
Target will have Series 1 38mm for $198 and 42mm for $228 on Black Friday. Best Buy has all Series 1 listed for $50 off in their BF ad. I haven't seen any discounts on Series 2 anywhere (not including the Kohl's cash offer), but as was said before, that's no surprise due to lagging availability.
I talked with salesperson in BB today, he said he is not expecting any other offers as the blackfriday deals ad is already out, but the watches will be in store for Black Friday for series2
