Apple has updated its education pricing in several countries, primarily in Asia, to offer educators and students discounts on Apple Watch for the first time.
Starting on May 7, Apple Store will now offer discounted pricing on Apple Watch SE 3, Apple Watch Series 11, and Apple Watch Ultra 3 to qualifying users. They include faculty and staff of higher education institutions as well as students who are enrolled or accepted into said institutions.
The new Apple Watch pricing is not available globally, however. As of May 7 at 6 PM ET, It’s available in:
- Australia
- China (via AliPay)
- France
- Germany
- Hong Kong
- India
- Italy
- Japan
- Malaysia
- Saudi Arabia
- Singapore
- South Korea
- Spain
- Taiwan
- Thailand
- Turkey
- UK
- Vietnam
Education customers will verify their eligibility in store and online via Unidays. Most will receive approval instantly, though it can take up to 24 hours.
This joins Apple existing education pricing that largely applies to Mac and iPad purchases. Currently, education customers in the U.S. are still limited to discounts on new Mac and iPad devices.
Discounts vary, but education pricing can save users up to 10% on their qualifying purchases.
At press time, U.S. customers can save across the wearable range in our Apple Watch Price Guide, even without EDU status. Deals found in the price guide include a $100 discount on the Series 11, bringing the price down to $299, while the SE 3 can be found for as low as $219.
