The best walmart deals are screamers, but are difficult to get before they sell out. BB has all 3 colors of the Series 5 SS for $450 for 44mm and $400 for the 40mm. I grabbed a 40mm for my SO. Also, $500 for the 44mm stainless with the Milanese loop is also a pretty awesome deal.
Check eBay as well. Yes, it's used, but I almost bought a SS S5 for $330 last weekend in perfect condition.
Hold out for the walmart deals, the discounts are deep so it's worth it. Took me months before I got in on my 40mm SS for $419.
The only issue I have with used electronics on eBay is the battery health, especially for a device that will likely be charged daily. Non-techies don't know that you shouldn't let your devices fall below 20% or charge over 80% on a regular basis if you want the longest battery health. Even a year old series 5 can have really low battery health in the 80's if the previous user always let it drop to near zero and fully charge it from there daily.

Thats why I like buying on ebay as a customer. I haven't done it, but if something isn't as described, you can always return it no matter what the return status is of the auction.
For some reason, Walmart has been having the best deals on assorted Apple products. They do sell out fast. I got 3 XS MAX in July for a ridiculously low price.
On the watch, FYI, my wife has a stainless 5, and I have a stainless 4. We both have cellular activated.
Series 4 and up are essentially similar as far as worthwhile features go.
Trade in value is a joke, whether aluminum or stainless, check BB trade in prices. Don't get stainless just because you think the trade in is better.
Get stainless because it will increase your happiness quotient.
Also, if you plan on cellular, the price difference falls to $ 200.
We made the mistake of getting GPS only models, then decided we wanted GPS. Needed new watches. Costly mistake.,

How do you set notification for such ?
Never mind , I was being stupid, there wasn't such option on Walmart app, but I went to the website and saw the in stock alert button.
