Hi Costco Fans. With the new Apple Watch Series 7 coming out next month, does anyone remember how soon before it goes on sale at Costco after Apple releases it? I would assume Black Friday at the latest? (Reiterating, I’m asking when does it go on sale, not for sale. IIRC from prior Apple Watch releases, Costco starts selling it very soon after Apple releases it.) Thanks.

Just ordered one yesterday but it is still being 'processing'.

I don't see a single review on the product so I guess not many people has received the watch.

I am wondering if anyone have got their Apple Watch 7 from Costco? Do they actually have the inventory?

My local Costco has a sale and star of death on all their Apple Watches with the exception of the SE. No longer stocking Apple Watches? / you would think this would happen closer to refresh time.

There is a $90 off on series 10 (gps + cellular) plus a 90 day return window at Costco (US) - Online only offer. While the color/band choices are limited, they have what I need. Any downside in buying from Costco? Are the products legit or may be imported from a different country or something? Is it going to be a hassle later in case of any issues compared to buying from Apple store ?

Edit : Since all the replies so far has been negative and expressing concern that this could be rage bait and that I am not a Costco member etc, I just wanted to clarify why I asked the question. I am a Costco member, but very inexperienced with buying electronics there. I did a google search on why the price could be lower at Costco and google AI said there could be risk of product being illegitimate as a downside.

Plus, my own experience of seeing posts in the past about inferior products like expensive fragrances from Costco and people complaining of it being fake etc. You can see some of this in the product reviews in Costco website as well. I do not know if any of that is true. I personally don’t think it could be true. But as I am unsure, I asked here.

My post was no way against Costco or to say something bad about Costco. Based on the above, it was a genuine question to see if there really is any downside versus buying directly from Apple. I thought people with more experience may know and be helpful.

Thanks everyone for the time and please don’t see this as a negative question and hate on me for asking.
