Pre-order the new Apple Watch Series 4 at Walmart and be among the first to get bragging rights

The new Apple Watch Series 4, which is now thinner and lighter than the previous model, hits shelves (both virtual and otherwise) on Friday, Sept. 21. And we’re here to remind you that there’s no need to wait in long lines for hours and hours. You can simply pre-order one (or two) and just have it shipped to you by the end of the weekend. Now isn’t that easier?

We’d recommend taking the plunge at Walmart, where you can get free 2-day shipping or may even be able to snag a discount on select models for picking it up in the store. The GPS and cellular versions of the Apple Watch 4, and its long awaited edge-to-edge display, are now available for pre-order with various colors and band options, such as a gold aluminum case with pink and white sports bands or a gold aluminum case with a pink sand sport loop. Unfortunately, space grey aluminum case and silver aluminum case (in both 40mm and 44mm) are out of stock temporarily. (Keep checking back though!)

For 2018, Apple ditched the ceramic and gold versions of the Apple Watch, opting to go with aluminum (40mm for $399 and 44mm for $429) and gold stainless steel (40mm for $699 and 44mm for $749) models instead. Each model also comes with optional cellular connectivity for an additional $100. The Apple Watch Series 4 is supported on AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, U.S. Cellular, and Sprint in the United States. 

In addition, the new Apple Watch Series 4 features an all-new Digital Crown that is still used to scroll through apps, but now has an Electrocardiogram (ECG) feature that can detect if you’ve fallen. The smartwatch then can call for emergency assistance when you’re in need.
