I noticed Best Buy and apple will give you $90 for the aluminum 5 as a trade in. Apple also offers same amount. I remember checking this last year and I was offered $75. this watch is 76% battery and doesnt last all day. The OS 10 update screwed it even more. is it worth keeping or is the $90 trade in a great limited time deal? you can buy a new 8 for $280 now or replace battery for $80.

I had the same dilemma, although I did not even look at Best Buy, probably should have but I have the Apple GS card and the rebate from purchasing is pretty good. Just this morning I ordered SS AW9 and trading my AW5 aluminum and trading in to get the $90.00 credit. Yes I think this years credit is much higher than in the past for AW trade in. Curious with Best Buy are they taking the watch there and giving instant credit or will you have to mail it in for the credit?

seems Best Buy lets you do trade in or you can give them the watch for $90 store credit. I bought the ultra 2 online at BB since I have total tech with BB.
