Apple expands its Education Store, now offering the Apple Watch at discounted prices in several Asian and Australian markets. Students and teachers can grab the Series 11, SE 3, and Ultra models for less, while Apple partners with UNiDAYS to verify eligibility. The move marks the first time the smartwatch appears in the Education Store.

Verification now extends to Hong Kong and Australia, where buyers must submit proof before purchase. In Australia, the Series 11 starts at A$609 versus A$679 normally, the SE 3 at A$369 from A$399, and the Ultra at A$1,259 from A$1,399. Prices elsewhere stay unchanged. These discounts apply to students and teachers who can verify via Education Store portal.

Apple Watch models not listed in other regions stay at full price, so the benefit is limited to the five markets. The partnership with UNiDAYS streamlines student verification, potentially easing the checkout process for millions of learners. By aligning pricing with educational budgets, Apple positions its smartwatch as a more accessible companion for campus life.

Consumers in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam can now browse discounted Apple Watch options on the Education Store website. Availability is contingent on meeting verification criteria, so buyers should prepare necessary documentation. The move signals Apple’s intent to deepen its foothold in education markets while offering savings wearables.
