It's going to have to be $100 or less for me to forgo that beautiful new display on Apple Watch Series 4.

Time to clear stock. The 3 is a great watch, the stainless price is tempting.

That stainless price is VERY tempting. The battery on my Series 0 is getting worse and I really want to upgrade.

As a happy Series 0 Stainless with Milanese owner, I'd do the Series 3 Black Stainless with Milanese deal in a heartbeat if the Series 4 did not offer an upgrade I find worth paying the MSRP for (especially since I expect to get years of use from the Series 4 as I have from my S0).
