I was at a BX inquiring about the Ultra. They had a limited number in stock and very few color options. The salesman said that the bottom of the Apple webpage there was a military link that gives 10% off. At my local tax rate, I would come out ahead by ordering direct from Apple.

This $50 discount is a better deal, but if you want an OOS watch, you may be able to order from Apple and not pay too much more.

yeah direct from apple is $763 for me aftex tax, with 3% back on the apple card = $741. AAFES is $749 and 2% back on military star card for $734 total. not a big difference, unless you're also just signing up for a military star card, the extra 10% is pretty significant, especially if you're buying more than one or some other items for the 10% first day bonus.

Pro to buying from apple is you can pick any size/band/etc, and might be able to pick it up same day or otherwise get it shipped faster than AAFES random "we'll mail it from some random exchange in the US" shipping. my LG tv shipped from texas and took 2 weeks and some change despite it being in stock 30 minutes away.

The way they ship from stores makes certain products less desirable. I was in a BX and saw a Seiko Recraft watch. I asked if they had one that hadn't been opened. No, their entire inventory was on display. I went home and ordered one through their website. It came shopworn from a BX in Georgia. Their higher-end watches ship from the factory, but more affordable options may come pre-scratched from an overcrowded display case.

If you have a Chase Sapphire card with enough points, using the current 25% promo on apple you can get it for about 61300 points which would normally be $613.
