I went to Best Buy with a movers coupon they said I couldn't use it so I may just go to target and price match them and use my red card.
 
You can use it with an Apple Watch, the person who said you could not was incorrect. The reason the Mover's Coupon is fading into the sunset is people were abusing it. I had a guy come in and want to use 2 of them, I told him I could only use 1. He asked why, and I said "Did you move twice?" Yep, guys like that ruined it for everyone.

I used one on a Surface. The cashier was telling me how a guy came in with like 5 of them and wanted to stack them on some iPods. People always have to abuse things.

Not to mention that it probably states no more than one coupon per transaction in the fine print on the coupon.

If people would only bother to read about what they're getting into.
 
I have had the space black since December and it looks the same as the day I got it. Freaking love it. Definitely recommend.

No screen protector either?

Thank you for telling me this. I may try to call and get the "ok" from a manager before I go back.

On a side note it's funny to me, I also find myself torn as to which size to get! Think I'll go with the 38mm.
 
Ok. I called Best Buy Customer Service and they said sorry can't use it. They did offer to take an additional $15 off for my "trouble".
 
Picked up my SS w/Milanese Loop yesterday. This was too good of a deal to pass up. I was tempted by the Space Black SS, but I already had a SGS and wanted something a little different and more versatile. Sold my SGS this morning, so the net cost of the purchase was about $130. Love the SS.
 
Just ordered mine a few hours ago. Didn't have one at my local store so it will be here in a few days. The rep I spoke to actually knocked it down to $299.00. Don't ask me how. I said thank you!!!!!
Now that's a steal! Definitely unbeatable.

But somehow makes me more convinced the next gen is coming out this summer.

That's an incredible deal for a SB SS! Did you just call customer service and ask them to drop it that low? If I can get them to do that I'll buy another one!

So I initially planned on buying the watch outright for $349.99. I had a mover coupon laying around and called my local store to see if I could use it. They said sure, and so I went in like maybe 20 minutes later. When I got there it was a different person (shift change) and they wouldn't let me use the coupon even though they'd already said I could. I decided ok fine, on principle I just won't get it from here. So I went home and thought about it and decided to call customer service just so I could have a definitive answer. The gentleman was really nice and apologized. He offered to take $15 off the price for me. I didn't have my wallet on me so I said can I call back he said sure.

When I called back it was a super nice woman that I spoke to, I told her my situation again and she said oh well that's no good, what about $299? I said sure! This would definitely be a rare case I would say. I should have it Tuesday!

Some have said that the steep BB discount is a sign that the 2nd gen is about to be announced, perhaps as early as WWDC. That may be true, but why only discount two specific configurations? Why not discount the entire line to clear inventory? Do they have too many SS w/Milanese Loops and SBSS with Sport Bands and just want to move those? Whatever the case, it was a pretty good deal.

No one knows. These were fairly recent manufactures, too.

By the same logic when target and BB were discounting the watches for $100 off on Black Friday one would think the new watches were coming soon, too.

Two words: loss leaders.

So far Best Buy has timed those sales around major holidays: Christmas (Black Friday), Valetine's Day, and Mother's Day.
