    15 euro more you can get brand new from UK apple store as the fx rate is low now - paid 317 10 day ago and ask a friend bring it back from uk for me :)

    Apple Store price is £299 stag which is about €360 euro using today's rate of 0.8286 on No. 1 Currency which is a retail rate, not an XE rate that doesn't take account of the banking charges.

    Delivery to Parcel Motel would be free but you obviously pay the €4.5 charge. So €365 V €300.

    Good price on iBood to be fair. Is it possible you are mixing up the 38mm watch with the 42mm version?

    They advertise it as 42mm

    but looking at picture of the box it says A1553 model
    and it is 38 mm according to
    http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=A1553

    ops - it is 38mm, but still for 65 euro is that worth to take 2nd hard :p (with US charger and being opened)? and my box show as A1553, so best luck with your 360 euro 42mm :)

    Unless you're getting a serious discount I wouldn't bother. Watch OS 3 has made a big difference to the speed of the thing, but it's still woefully underpowered. It's almost certain that the second generation will be announced within the month.

    I don't have one. Bought one last year and sold it the same month. It's not for me personally.

    I also nearly fell into the trap of buying the 38mm one, but the 42mm is much better suited. I will probably try one again, maybe the second or third generation depending.
