<p>Update: Best Buy looks to be sold out in most areas (http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=N/7ThYeZ*Nc&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=448595.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=13128&amp;RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fapple-apple-watch-sport-38mm-space-gray-aluminum-case-black-woven-nylon-band%2F4895529.p). </p>
<p>Apple Watch (https://9to5mac.com/guides/apple-watch/) prices have been in a relative freefall in recent months with the oft-rumored upgrade expected in the coming weeks. However, we aren’t expecting a sea change upgrade this time around. Three weeks ago, a KGI report noted (https://9to5mac.com/2016/08/08/kgi-new-apple-watch-2-coming-late-2016-with-gps-better-waterproofing-and-improved-performance-retain-same-design/) that the new Apple Watch 2 (https://9to5mac.com/guides/apple-watch-2/) upgrade would include GPS, better waterproofing and improved performance but retain the same design. Another report last week reaffirmed (https://9to5mac.com/2016/08/18/report-apple-watch-2-no-cellular-gaining-gps/) those claims.</p>
<p>A launch alongside the iPhone 7 (https://9to5mac.com/guides/iPhone-7) next month seems obvious.  Apple, therefore, is likely in a hurry to clear current inventory (indeed shortages are already being seen (https://9to5mac.com/2016/08/12/apple-watch-availability-ahead-of-refresh/)) ahead of the launch and that takes the form of a $199 price tag (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&amp;pub=5574898611&amp;toolid=10001&amp;campid=5336626775&amp;customid=&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fstores.ebay.com%2FOfficialBestBuy%2F_i.html%3Frt%3Dnc%26_nkw%3DApple%2Bwatch%26_sid%3D1123137099%26_sticky%3D1%26_trksid%3Dp4634.m14%26_sop%3D15%26_sc%3D1) on the base model Apple Watch Sport 38mm Space Gray Aluminum Case… <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2016/08/27/apple-watch-2-discount/#more-443371" class="more-link">more…[/url]</p>
