I'm hoping to get an Apple Watch Series 2 SS around Christmas time, but availability seems limited now. Do you think it will improve by Christmas shopping season?
It depends where you plan on purchasing it. But yes, being it's a new product release and with the Holidays approaching, it likely will be limited. And overall how Apple keeps up with production is a factor as well.
Last time around, the sales in November came about four months after the stores and retail partners had stable inventory. This time around, stores and partners will probably not receive stable inventory of most SKUs until late November. So, they may not discount, since supply may still be scarce.
