I've been monitoring the stainless steel models as well and very happy to see they're all unavailable but 1.

I also think they're going to discontinue the braided solo loops, or at least offer even less colors. Reason being that one of my colleagues worked at the Apple Store until recently and told me they sold almost none of them, customers like them but are, understandably, turned off as soon as they hear the price.

I wouldn't sweat it. I got my wife an Apple Watch series 9 last week, in the color she wanted. But I bought it on Amazon, since it was $100 LESS than the Apple Store, and our Prime card gives us 5% credit on all Amazon purchases. I just looked, and there are still plenty available. And do you really need to buy one of Apple Store's overpriced bands, since there are literally legions of 3rd party bands to choose from, at every price point and materials.

Based on absolutely nothing more than “new SE is plastic” I had a thought this morning that Apple will really pivot the SE into a Swatch type thing with fun colours and corresponding wacky mix & match bands.

They should just call the next Apple Watch SE the "Apple Watch 5C".

They are still around. Also, the annual reminder that if you go into an Apple store, they'll sell you old stock that is on hand in the back at a discount after the new product release day and the old models are not on the floor anymore. It's not much, 10-15% but on an iPhone that adds up to something if you don't need the newest.
You can do the same thing at an auto dealership every August when the next year's models come out. I've done it about 6 times. They don't offer it, you have to ask, something like this: "Well, I love the car, but since the 2025 models are out, shouldn't I get some depreciation credit? I mean like the 8-10% your card depreciate after a year?" If the answer is yes, we have a deal. If the answer is some BS, try this: "OK, well I guess that's fair, but at that price I'm going to have to go home and think about it." That seals it every time. They'll do ANYTHING to keep you from leaving and going to another dealership! That's the smart way to buy anything. You can negotiate anything. I spent two Christmas seasons temping at Best Buy, and smart shoppers could get 15-20% off their asking prices on the expensive stuff like major appliances. But if you don't ask, you don't get. So go on, try it at the Apple store when the new ones are coming out. Works every time.
