Consumers have been eyeing the Apple Watch but have been investing more in Apple's other devices like the iPhones and iPads, leaving the Watch stranded on the shelves. Lately, the Apple Watch slashed its prices by $100, selling the item at a discounted price.
The price slash is happening everywhere. Feeds everywhere have shown that the Apple Watch has dipped to its lowest price (ever). Sites have detailed the price with $100 less and signed the promotion with "while supplies last". Does that mean that suppliers and resellers are trying to get rid of old stocks? It's a big move since there are a lot of authorized resellers involved in the discount news. Stock clearance could be the suggestion, Sean Keach and other online reviewers explain.
In 2012, Jony Ive explained the strategy behind Apple Watch. "Our goal isn't to make money... What gets us excited is to try to make great products. We trust that if we are successful people will like them." That was his statement back then. The tease and initial release of the product excited consumers and those loyal to the brand until it faced a dipping disappointment.
The Apple Watch did face a lot of criticism as it was continuously compared to the iPhones - a fast moving item on the shelves. Consumers felt that the smart device was less useful and it bode disappointment for those who have purchased the product. It is unknown if Ive has revisited his statement but one thing is clear - the products are doing the talking.
Reports indicated that the discounted price is not available at any Apple Store. If you're interested in purchasing the discounted Apple Watches, check out the authorized resellers which include Best Buy, B&H, Target, and Walmart.
