Chase Freedom card 5% off category for Q1 2023 includes Target as well. So no advantage of paying with red card over that one for this deal.

Makes the 41mm 8 GPS series only $30.57 more than the comparable 7 series from the target sale price. IMO, that's worth the extra money simply for the increase in resale or trade in value down the road.

for those with access to AAFES/shopmyexchange they have it for the same price so you'll save on tax.

-edit-
they only have the 45mm in stock in the midnight color with the small/medium band.

Depends on your needs.

The differences between Series 7 & 8: (otherwise, they are identical)

Crash detection - 8 has it, 7 does not. (Although, if you have an iPhone 14, that already has crash detection… in fact, crash detection is the only real difference between an iPhone 13 and 14!)
"Women's" cycle tracking via temperature - 8 has it, 7 does not.

Neither of those functions mattered to me so I searched for the best deal on a 7 or 8 with cellular.

Cellular function - I do not plan to turn it on immediately. You can ignore the function and use the watch just like one without cellular. But in the future I plan to turn it on so that my phone does not need to be within range of the watch. The watch becomes a free-standing phone, even in the absence of your phone. The MSRP a price difference for the cellular feature is +$100.

So the Walmart deal, at $329 is a $100 better deal vs the Series 8 without cellular at $330… actually $130 better since the MSRP upcharge for the 45 mm vs 41 mm is +$30. The MSRPs of the 7 and 8 are identical.

41 vs 45 mm - note Walmart is only shipping the 45 mm version of the Series 7 with cellular, for $329. While they show the 41 mm for $299, it does not appear to be shippable… and therefore, you'd have to get a sloppy Target chat agent to get a price match. Around us, Walmart never stocks Apple Watches in store.

What's expected on the new model? I've been debating buying an Apple Watch for a while but keep passing. I remember reading there were plans for a big overhaul then COVID hit and it still hasn't happened. Last I looked the next model isn't expected to be much different either, but perhaps that has changed or I read wrong.

Do you get an Apple TV promo with purchase? Seems usually you get 4 or 6 mo free when buying a new product but didn't see mention (sorry if I missed it). Or at least that was the case with our last 2 iPhones and 2 iPads.

No, you only their Fitness service for a few months here. But they always throw tv+music codes at us, I'm using appletv+ and music for years and never paid for it.

This just matches Costco pricing right? Any advantage of Costco vs Target?
Costco has an extra year extended warranty if you use their citi card

I believe the Costco Citi lost the extended warranty benefit after Jan 22, 2023. I'm only aware of the amazon prime card providing extended warranty (only a year) now Frown

How big a difference does aluminum vs stainless steel make?

Enough with these sarcastic "serious" attacks. Your questions are so uppity and condescending.

I honestly don't understand that if people like you are going to wait for the series 10, why you would even bother coming in to a thread and commenting on something you're not going to buy?

With some context on why they are waiting (i.e. what new features, improvements, etc. they are waiting for) it could be helpful.

Apple's results seem to have some consequences on these price drops. Series 8 this week is priced right around what series 7 was priced a couple days back !

Keep them coming
Bought one yesterday to see what's the fuss about… Wow, what a pos, battery constantly needs recharging, can't even last for more than a day… so what is the point? Promptly returning.

You're welcome to prove me wrong with proof, but I believe Series 7 was at that price, not 8.
