Holiday in New York- best/cheapest place to buy apple watch s2?

I cant imagine there will be any deals on series2 watches. Maybe target may have a gift card or best buy may have a sale on the series 1. I would be shocked to see any big sales.

But I have been wrong before, ask my first xwife

 

Craigslist Chinatown

 

I have not see any deals from the large reputable stores. You might be able to find a used one on Craigslist or you can score an "open box" Watch from Best Buy if they have them. If the open box at BB is in excellent condition with all of the accessories, it will normally be 10% off the selling price. I got my SB SS S2 for $550 the day before Thanksgiving.

 

One thing to note is that if you buy your Apple Watch in the states rather than in the U.K. You will only be covered for one year warranty. In the EU all products are covered by a 2 year manufacturing warranty so if anything fails due to a defect that could be there from purchase then it's covered, like a minimal free Apple care.

If you intend on buying Apple care for your watch then try and buy it abroad, with the pound as low as it is, pull end up with a Watch and Apple care for about £20 less than just buying a watch in the U.K.

 

B&H Photo seems to always give gift cards or has some kind of promotions. They are a great company bought from for many years.

 

You say New York and I'm assuming New York City. Sales Tax in NYC is 8.875%, but portions of that percentage go to different entities.

I think NYC gets 4.5%, New York State gets 4%, and the transportation department gets a small cut.

Ultimately, if you can take a day trip out of the city (or if you're visiting the state), you might be able to save 4.5% by not buying in NYC. Also, if you can get to New Hampshire, they don't have sales tax at all, but depending on where you're visiting, that might be a real long drive.

 

If you know someone in NJ or CT you can ship there and avoid sales tax.

 

save the hassle - go look on amazon uk or even on gumtree and buy a sealed one. just make sure the seller is legit (you can see how long ago they created their online account) and whether they're happy to meet in person and test it all out..

 

Or even Shpock, I used that to sell my Series 0 SS SLB.

 

Awesome!
