In the UK it’s a £120 gift card.
Funny how retail prices are converted from USD to GBP by replacing the symbol, by discounts are not.
Also, the usual justification of a higher cost of doing business doesn’t seem to stand here either. Unlike, hardware products, I can’t see how it costs Apple any more to give a gift card away in the UK than the USA.

Apple is rolling in enough dough that it apparently doesn't feel the need to offer any actual Black Friday sale prices on their products anymore.
Oh well, I don't buy anything from them that's not refurbished anyway - so I guess every day I buy from them is like Black Friday!
Not sure what you mean by "anymore." I don't recall Apple having any good BF deals in the past years.

Unless she actually wanted a fitbit.
She said 'fitness tracker' and was only looking into Fitbits since they were cheaper. Since Apple Watch does all a Fitbit does and more, she won't be disappointed.

No further discounts or gift certificates on refurbished products.
It is indeed a black Friday. :(

Thx, I'm saving a fortune - with even 22 more countries where I won't buy a new iPhone.
Thanks for letting me know, I was waiting on this info. Now I can sleep soundly at night.

It's just an offer, chill.
You don't have to buy anything, it isn't mandatory.

Man that's tight! It doesn't surprise me in the least though. They didn't get to be the world's most profitable company by giving stuff away, that's for sure!

I also use my Apple Watch primarily for a fitness tracker, mostly because to me it looks nicer than a Fitbit. Especially if I want to dress it up!
I don't think she'll be disappointed!
