Father’s Day is this coming Sunday in the United States and one gift that’s been heavily associated with the occasion is the wristwatch. So, you wouldn’t be surprised to hear us suggest an Apple Watch as a suitable present. And especially considering that Apple’s partner retailers are doling out significant discounts this week, we think now’s the time to grab one.
The best Apple Watch deal right now
Apple generally isn’t in the business of discounting its goods – sales aren’t part of its brand image, really – but you will see participating retailers offer lower prices on occasion and in tight coordination. When it comes to models currently in production, you can’t really expect the remit to be too wide. That said, there’s always a sneak opportunity to pick up an older device for way less.
