Target stuff normally goes live on Sundays at 12:01 AM PT, so 3:01 AM ET.

Thanks! Looks like I'll have to wake up the next morning and hope it's not sold out

Quote from cybercho :
Here's a slick combo I'm going to do come 11/19 after some planning.

- Order a series 9 using my veteran's 10% discount through Apple's online store on 11/19
- Get a $50 Apple gift card because it's a Black Friday promo.
- Use Apple Gift cards previously purchased using the $10 Target GC promo (rec'd when ordering $100 Apple Gift cards)
- Use the Target Red Card to get a 4.5% discount for the Apple gift cards I purchased. (normally 5%)

Here' s the breakdown:

+ $399 Orig price
- $39.90 vet discount
- $50 black Friday apple gift card promo
- $52.07 savings for using the Apple Gift cards purchased through Target deal
= $257.03 before tax!

I consider Target gift cards and Apple Gift cards as cash as we use them regularly!

It's possible Apple will nix the $50 Apple gift card promo since I'm already getting a vet discount. If this happens, I won't use it and just accept the $50 black Friday gift card. Then it looks like this:

If apple doesn't give both vet and bf promo, I'll just use the bf promo and it'll look like this:
+ $399 Orig price
- $50 apple gift cards
- $50.60 savings for using the Apple Gift cards purchased through Target deal
= $298.40 before tax!
Hi, I don't see any discount on Apple gift card from Target site, was it an expired deal?

Is the 100 not worth it? Not like I have money growing on trees! Just wondering as they would be a gift. My kids know I am not a spender, but if the 9 is "better" maybe...thank you!
Series 8 and Series 9 are pretty similar. The main diff between the Series 8 and Series 9 is that it finally has a new processor (series 6 thru 8 all had the same processor), so the Series 9 will be a little faster. They specifically note that using Siri is faster.

The Series 9 also can be activated by tapping your finger and thumb together. (Unsure if previous models will retroactively get this).

Other than that, there is no significant technological difference.

There are *rumors* that next years Series 10 will actually have some new tech. The big rumor is that it will have sleep apnea detection, and will possibly have the option to vibrate enough to slightly wake you and get you breathing again.

There's no need to wait according to Target's website.

Starting October 22, 2023, if you purchase an item in store or online and the price goes lower at Target on or before December 24, 2023, you can request a price match. Proof of purchase is required for price adjustments after purchase. Target store price matches and adjustments are completed at the store on any lane.

The bezels aren't.

It would be cool for Apple to make a circular watch, though. But I'm also a fan of how they look right now
You know apple. They are saving it for their next "innovation"

I love their products but I hate how they slow roll stuff

The only difference would be the fingers on same arm as your watch, taping and the app on the watch closes. Look it up on YouTube. No other notable differences really

I think they skate around this by offering the discount as a Target Circle offer. Therefore, they may say the price is unchanged.

Battery life on apple watches is so terrible after the latest update (even after the 10.0.1 fix). But maybe my watch is just getting older and I should update.

Repped.
Isn't is suspicious to anyone else that this bug came out right when they launched the new watch? And it's hard the exact effect you described in 4 people I know including myself 🫣

Siri works better, but the pinch feature is useless. It basically scrolls through your whatever they call those widgets you scroll on the Home Screen

Definitely don't buy a 9 because you want *that* feature

I got in on the S8 on the Target deal last time. For anyone trying to decide between the S8 and S9, the finger tap feature on the S9 can also be set up on the S8 by going into Accessibility under Settings. For more detailed instructions, it is easy to find online. I haven't used it much, but it works. I don't know how different the feature is, if at all from the S9 since it is native and I haven't played with a S9.
