Good Deal: Galaxy 4 Watch Classic - 46mm - Bluetooth
Main Post:
Edit: added link, added details re: discount
Wow. Same hardware as Watch 5 Pro, minus the extra battery life? Plus that bezel? I'll take it!
Discount does not apply to the silver version of the LTE unfortunately. It does apply to the black version.

Good deal but why are buying a charging puck? It should come with one already.
How to deal with Enforcers and Police Snipers?
Main Post:
I've had a lot of trouble with these two enemy types. Enforcers are those guys with super heavy body armor that show up at high notoriety levels with shotguns, and they take boatloads of ammo. Running away from them requires me to break cover and get shot by other police, and trying to take them head on is suicide because of their shotguns. My strategy right now is to fire and retreat, but that doesn't always work. I'm also getting annoyed with Police Snipers in helicopters. It seems that they hover right above me, preventing me from shooting at them because Adrian can't aim high enough. Does anyone have any tips for taking them down?
Top Comment: Chopper perk is amazingly useful. Enforcers you can sneak kill them if they aren't alerted at all or use explosives (grenades/grenade launcher). If you really need a cheesy way to break police chase, use the trains or water to escape the police. Disable the chopper with the perk then just drive a boat/train away. Really trivializes the police.
[Guide] How and where to get online discounts on watches
Main Post:
I wanted to share my experience on getting discounts online for watches. Some brands hand out out discounts like candy, some only do so at certain times of the year (e.g. Christopher Ward) and some brands never do it at all (e.g. Tissot).
First, I'll share my tips and experiences and if you have any yourself, I'll update this post with yours. I want to aggregate everyone's tips into this post. My experience is limited, so it'd be great if you guys could help me for the benefit of others and people who will eventually pop in here from google searches.
Sites that never do discounts:
- Tissot
- [Please share other sites and I will add it here]
Sites that give discounts if you sign up for email, text messages:
- Henry Archer (Danish microbrand) - 10% off. I haven't seen anything higher offered yet
- Venezianico (Italian microbrand) - 10% off. They will send bigger discounts in other emails, see below
- Jared.com - I know a ton of people shit on this company, but they offer great discounts. The first email you get is for $25 off. Unfortunately the $25 doesn't work on certain brands like Tissot (though more expensive rewards do work). Additionally, I got a Citizen Tsuyosa for $130 cheaper than the Citizen website even without the coupon. There are bigger discounts though, see below.

Sites that give birthday/anniversary discounts:
- Jared.com - $100 off coupon. More details below
- [Please share other sites and I will add it here]
Sites that offer more than 10% discounts:
- Venezianico (Italian microbrand) - I've received a 20% off coupon via email. At the time of this post, NEXT-VZ works and gives 20% off. I have however had it glitch and only take off 10%, make sure you double check before checking out.
- Frank Forta (Canadian microbrand) - a popup came up and I had to spin a wheel and got up to 20% off. I have also experienced a glitch here with a code and customer service fixed it right away.
- Jared.com - To be honest, I really had low expectations from Jared, but they've far exceeded them. I've gotten two $100 off coupons in the last month. First coupon was for reaching being a vault member ($100 for anything over $300), the second one was for a Loyalty birthday ($100 off $300) and I got free expedited shipping.
- As mentioned above, I said the $25 doesn't work on brands like Tissot, but the $100 off coupons do work on Tissot, which I used on a PRX Powermatic 80.
- Additionally, you can get cash back offers using Honey (a chrome extension that also does price tracking). Make sure your offer is activated. I've gotten up to $50 cash back.
- I've made a post on imgur with all this if prefer to see all this visually here

Sites that offer discounts certain times of the year:
- Christopher Ward (January and July -- usually early in the month). Good watches are sold very quickly. You need to get the emails from them to have a chance at the most desired sale models [Info from u/jacob4568's comment below]
- More info in this post from 3 months ago by u/NationOfLaws, he says "They typically have two per year — one around January and one around July."
Sites that offer Black Friday or other holiday discounts:
- [Please share other sites and I will add it here]
Give it a shot:
Lastly, if any site has a field for discount codes, try googling the site name + discount code or site name + discount code + reddit. It's a longshot sometimes, but never hurts to try. I've had some luck with getting better codes than what they send you in the mail.
Please share any other useful information you have and I'll add it to this post. Thanks :)
Top Comment: Christopher ward does have a January and July sale. Usually early in the month. Good watches are sold very quickly. You need to get the emails from them to have a chance at the most desired sale models.

[Question] Best spots to find deals on watches?
Main Post:
Hey squad, looking for some guidance here. I’m relatively new to the hobby (2-3 years) and am looking to find 1-2 higher end pieces to add. I’m thinking $5k each tops. I see below market prices on eBay, Hodinkee, and other places now and then, but nothing of my personal taste. I visit pawn shops and independent jewelers now and then just to see what they have, and I always strike out. I’m looking to save a little coin but recognize in the grand scheme of things that this is a large purchase. Even a few hundred bucks or a small percentage discount could be worthwhile.
Any ideas on where to look? Help a fella out?
Thanks for reading!
Top Comment: Chrono24 is another place to check out. I probably would stay away from eBay personally due to the ease of finding a non original piece there perhaps imo anyway.

Insane deal on my first Watch!
Main Post:
I’ve been blessed by the Marketplace gods. I got a pretty much brand new Apple Watch SE 2 for $80 yesterday! Initially bought 10 days ago, only worn once and included box and cable. Found the guy on FB Marketplace, offered the price and he accepted right away.
Apparently it came free with his mobile plan but he didn’t want it. I was the first message that didn’t get flagged as a scam for him so we met up a couple of hours later and even though I was a bit scared, everything turned out great.
He let me reset and set it up right there before paying and was extremely nice about the whole ordeal.
Top Comment: I got two separate se2’s last week one for 80 one for 85s nice job I love em
