<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>
