I have owned probably a dozen many watches over the years a couple with cellular and most without.
I have not a single time used cellular on my watch. I thought i would use it for making calls during runs, but it appears I don't really get that many texts or phone calls a day.
Strava and other exercise apps use GPS to track movement so cellular isn't even needed for that.
Only time I can think why it would be useful for me is if I got run over by a car during a run and I needed emergency services. The other use case would be to stream music while I run but I just play the music already downloaded on my watch.
Simply put it was not worth the extra initial cost + the 15 dollars a month for that extra line.
bought from amazon on 11/11.... for $349.00 of course they wont match the price..... Amazon is trash
Their policy is inconsistent, depending on the rep and other unknown factors. The first time it dropped from 369->349, they refused to refund the difference, and I had to return it.
The second time it dropped from 349->329, I asked again and they did it for me.
Does anyone know if I can price match at Best Buy and also trade in my current Apple Watch?
I did a price match at BB with IPad mini for $100 off and was able to still trade in an old iPad for a great price. Do the PM first and once you have the price agreed upon then ask them to add trade in. They have to do on their side.
I placed my order on Bestbuy WITH the trade-in of my series 8.
To actually get the price match, I tried calling, chatting to no avail. Something to do with having the trade-in on the order. I was successful though, I had to go into my order and select "Cancel & Support Options" Then it started a new chat, and that chat agent was able to do the price match refund right away. Posting in case anyone else was trying to do this and not having luck. No stores in my area had in stock so that wasn't an option.
I'm also waiting for when it goes to under $280, im guessing next week or cyber monday
Will it really go that low? Last year, the Series 9 stayed at this price around BF and Christmas time.
Edit: Did some research and shortly after BF, the Series 9 41mm dropped to $309. This was in the second week of December.

For those who preordered at Best Buy and is within the return window still (due to being a plus member), do the price match. Was able to do one on my end.
My net cost with series 9 trade in turned out to be roughly 39$ (MSRP 399$- 30$ trade in bonus = 369$ effective sale price - 329.99$ price match Amazon = 39.01$ net cost). No sales tax was involved in my original purchase.
