Likely a moderate drop
- Last year's cut came weeks after launch; second-year deals run deeper
- No successor announced, so a crash price is unlikely
Should you wait for Black Friday?
Yes, a short wait should pay. Last year's small cut reflects how new it was. If health tracking matters more than looks, the vívoactive 6 already fell further.
