    We bought this for my father and he loves it. There was an issue within the year warranty and Apple took care of it quickly.

    Overall, even at a steep discount I am not sure its worth the money. The 42mm is only just a tiny bit bigger than the 38mm, but it makes a difference when you are trying to take a quick look.
