Price drop for AW series 8 once series 9 is released?

[mindquest]

Any ideas if there will be a significant drop for the AW series 8 once the new series 9 is announced?

I don’t need anything new the series 9 might offer but a lower price would be nice for the series 8

If so what are the best places to find those deals?

It's usually a hundred bucks. Price drop happens at authorized retailers like BestBuy, Walmart, Target etc.

Honestly? just buy a Series 7 used on eBay. Under the surface they're the same watch almost, and you can get a Stainless Steel model for $250.

+1 for a used S7. Except if you really want the wrist temperature monitoring, you'll pay too much for a S8, even at a discounted price.

Looking to stick with new but thanks for the idea. $100 off seems like a pretty good deal.

HOw quick after the new Watch announcement do they typically drop prices on the old model? Weeks? Months?

Just a few weeks after launch, they usually want to get rid of the old inventory pretty fast

If I recall correctly, Amazon had most series 8 models on sale for $120 off last month during Prime Day.

I purchased a 41mm last week and it was indeed new in sealed box.

Wait until November this year don't buy the series 9 when it release next month. I got the series 8 cellular 41mm for $380 at Walmart last November but I just sold it about two weeks ago for the same price. Now I'm waiting for this November when the price drop.
