There have been several mentions of customers receiving empty boxes, and having to fight their way to get a refund.

I, too, had recent unpleasant experience with Amazon. Amazon is no longer the premier customer-centric company that it used to be. These days, I rather go with Walmart, Target or Best Buy for branded electronics if they have similar prices. Just my 2 cents.

Uncomfortable ordering apple products from Amazon anymore. Interested in a SS series 8 but will wait for some other retailers to cut prices.

Doesn't this mean that it will soon be discounted as well?

If you don't mind going back one generation, the 45mm series 7 SS is on sale at Walmart for $60 less than this.

This one comes with Apple care and I kind of want the latest gen and don't really care about the metal loop.

The only real difference between S7 and S8 is the crash detection and the temperature monitor, outside of that they are identical. Apple care is nice though.

In many other Apple Watch threads there are many who say they get the box from Amazon but inside there's no watch. And then they have issues getting a refund. It's several people. I'd stay away from Amazon for Apple Watch purchases personally

How does this compare to Fitbit in terms of health tracking features? That's all I'm really interested in personally.

Probably some people bought it, took the watch out, reseal the box and returned it to amazon. And amazon won't open the box to check as that will make it and open box item.

I think something similar happened to best buy before, people putting putting rocks in iPad boxes, resealed it and returned it.

I think if the company or police really wanted to track it down, it's not difficult as every device has a unique imei number and you can track it once it goes online.

But it's sucks that Amazon won't take care of it.
