This is what the Apple Watch costs in the US

Also in the US, Apple Watch prices depend on the Apple Watch generation, connectivity and watch features. It should also be noted that the prices displayed in the Apple Store are net prices, which do not yet include the tax due. Currently, you have the option to order the Apple Watch Series 5 (from 399 US dollars or 360 euros) and the Apple Watch Series 3 (from 199 US dollars or 179 euros) in the American Apple Store.

What to consider when buying the Apple Watch in the US

Since the Apple Watch is usually cheaper in the American Apple Store than here in Germany, it is worth considering ordering the smartwatch there or buying it directly on site. However, it is important to note that customs duties are due for purchases from the USA if their price exceeds the exemption limits.

1. If you have the Apple Watch sent to you by post, the permitted exemption limit is only 22 euros. Darüber hinaus wird bis zu einem Warenwert von 700 Euro eine Pauschale von 17,5 Prozent des Kaufpreises fällig.
2. Bringen Sie die Uhr persönlich mit, sind die Freigrenzen höher und betragen bei der Einreise per Flugzeug oder Schiff 430 Euro pro Person.
3. Aufgrund des hohen Preises wird bei einem Postversand stets eine Zollgebühr auf die Apple Watch fällig.
