For a while, if you’re shopping for an Apple product for back-to-school season, you could get discounts at the Apple Education Store when buying a Mac, an iPad, or even other Mac- or iPad-related accessories such as the Apple Pencil or the Studio Display. Now, Apple has officially added the Apple Watch to its roster of products that are available for educational discounts. At the time of this writing, this update is now live in the Apple Education Store in these countries:
- Australia
- Canada
- China
- France
- Germany
- Hong Kong
- India
- Italy
- Japan
- Malaysia
- Saudi Arabia
- Singapore
- South Korea
- Spain
- Taiwan
- Thailand
- Turkey
- United Kingdom
- United States
- Vietnam
All Apple Watch models that Apple currently sells are eligible for Apple’s education discount; this includes the Apple Watch Series 11, the Apple Watch SE 3, and the Apple Watch Ultra 3. The only exception is the Apple Watch Hermès models, including both Series 11 and Ultra 3 models in that collection.
These are the starting prices (USD) with the education discount for the Apple Watch models below:
- Apple Watch SE 3: $229 (MSRP: $249)
- Apple Watch Series 11: $359 (MSRP: $399)
- Apple Watch Ultra 3: $719 (MSRP: $799)
So customers are looking at about 10% savings when buying them on the Apple Education Store.
Additionally, as we reported earlier, Apple has put the UNiDAYS verification system into effect for its Education Store in the United States, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, and Turkey. This means that education customers, including students, will need to verify their status either with an institution–provided email address, staff or student ID, or even an education document.
So it’s clear that Apple is making these changes in time for the back-to-school season as another school year concludes, so if you’re looking to buy an Apple Watch for yourself or for your kids, now it’s the perfect time, and with cellular Apple Watch models, you can take advantage of Apple Watch Family Setup with all the features that are made for kids, including Schooltime to reduce distractions and stay focused in school.
