> Apple Watch Series 12 just got its first-ever price cut ($350) — buy now or wait for a bigger drop?

> The Series 12 only came out last month and it is already $49 off at $350 — first discount since launch, per the deal trackers. My current watch (SE) still works fine, battery holds a day. My question for people who buy Apple watches at launch: does a first cut one month after release usually mean deeper cuts are coming, or does Apple hold the line on new releases until Black Friday? Trying to decide whether to pull the trigger now or sit tight for six weeks.

> Wait — $350 is the first cut, not the best cut

> New-release Apple price cuts in October are almost always followed by a bigger Black Friday cut. The $49 off is real but shallow — it exists to make you impatient. If your SE holds a charge for the day, wait six weeks. History says the same watch lands $60-80 off by late November, sometimes with a gift card stacked on top.
