I can see how it could be painful for some in that "gotta have the latest and greatest" crowd. I've never been one to subscribe to that philosophy so it would be a no-brainer for me to get the year older model. I don't even like smartwatches and dislike the styling of the Apple Watch altogether. That doesn't mean I can't see the value for those who do like AW's. Series three is the best AW there is right now. Next year, if a new watch comes, the Series 3 will be 2nd best. It will still be a great smartwatch. It'll just be a great smartwatch with an even better price.My thoughts as well. But I also asume Series 4 might see a redesign as performance and other features such as better CPU, waterproof or LTE were already introduced. So getting a Series 3 than while a new design or slightly streamlined one might be introduced could be painful.

What you say is true. Although the point of my post had nothing to do with the Series 4 per se and everything to do with moving old inventory, I can see how including the tidbit about the Series 4 might have shifted the focus for some. Apologies.Actually, retailers wanting to move inventory has nothing to do with Series 4. The reality is they have zero indication if Apple will or will not release a new Watch. Retailers hosting annual sales for an Apple Watch is nothing more than liquidating current stock or older tech for the sake of end of year sales. Even if a Series 4 doesn't launch in 2018, retailers will still discount the same sales, perhaps just with a different model. They don't care about any unannounced future Apple Watch models, they want numbers in sales and customer base. Period.
