I had the aluminum on my first round of this product, which I scratched once and replaced and then shattered another.

I currently have a S4 in SS and I recommend the extra money here. It is much more durable, and I have yet to scratch it. I seem to always bump it on things, walking upstairs, etc. I'm not sold on the replacement cost for me on what adds an always on display.

This is a great deal, and worth the upgrade if you are rocking S3 or older and looking to replace. Do the stainless. It's worth the cash.

Still about $50 too much.

Same version of series 6 is typically about $150 more on Walmart's website.

That 2x brighter always on display is a big diff. Maybe not a $200 difference, but series 7 is 5-6 months away.

That is a great price. 44 mm also at $ 449.

If I didn't have the Black SS 4 series, I would be all over it.

Costco has series 6 for the same price. Is this a better deal?
Costco only sells the aluminum, not the stainless steel (which retails at $700+). This is also the GPS + Cellular model.

Snagged a 40mm gold ss series 6 on OfferUp for $400 on Christmas Eve. Thinking about picking this one up for my mom. ss are so much better than regulars, and they look much more premium (shiny compared to matte look)
???
Anyone actually buys stuff at OfferUp?
I did much better with Letgo.

As the previous poster explained, The latest watchOS can be configured for someone that does not have an iPhone.
Thank you. The Family Setup wasn't posted when I started my comment. It's the perfect solution. It also has other options available to the parents such as to keep the watch from becoming a distraction during school hours.

The watch has its own phone number. I think that"s primarily for billing purposes. Both the phone and watch ring when someone calls you. That could be a problem. If in class, he can just turn the sound off. It's a great safety device for kids. Less likely to lose it. You can put a phone icon on the face, which let's him quickly call you in case of emergency.

Can I give the watch to my kid as a $10+fees add on to my cellular phone and not give my kid a cell phone? My kid can just call and text me with it? Or is it married to my cell phone somehow? Thanks for any help.

I guess not bad if you need new? But I would double check with eBay prices if you didn't need new, after tax this seems a little high, especially for the small one

Edit- Just saw this was the stainless steel one, that does make it better, But I would still double check, you have to with every slick deal nowadays

Offerup is the best one in my opinion. Letgo is hot garbage for me

How is this a good price? I bought Apple watch 5 from Target last year at $360 (including taxes) last year in Feb. It was a 40 mm watch.

If you want to use GPS for Running (distance accuracy for marathon, or any race), you must pick Apple Watch 6 series, which does according to reviews pick up sharp corners/turns (like letter L) more closely than smoothing out with curves ( like letter C).

Can I still use this without cellular? Or will it constantly harass me about a lack of account configured?

The 40mm SS are about 250 on Ebay for used good condition....might still be under warranty as well....The 44mm SS start out at $280, without accessories....so if you dont need brand new, that might be a better buy

Oops, they start out at $230 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Wa...g&LH_BIN=1
