Apple Watch gets new $299 starting price and band options

Smartwatches are all the rage nowadays -- they are fun, useful, and stylish. While Apple was not the first to market with such a watch, it has created the most popular one ever. The Apple Watch, according to the company and some reports, is the best-selling smartwatch.

Today, the Apple Watch buying experience gets even better, as the starting price drops to a very low $299. In addition, Apple introduces new bands.

While this is $50 lower than the normal MSRP, it is still more expensive than the prices found at some retailers. For example, as of today, Best Buy is selling a new Sport 38mm model for only $249. In other words, this means consumers are already able to buy the Apple Watch for $50 less than Apple's new price. If you only want to buy from the Apple Store, however, this is definitely welcome news.

The sport and leather bands come in a slew of new colors, while the elegant milanese gets a jet black version. The really exciting news, however, is the beautiful and trendy woven nylon band. Available in black, orange, pink, or blue, it is both fun and stylish.

Will this new starting price or new band colors convince you to finally buy an Apple Watch? Tell me in the comments.
