The discount comes through a wellness-incentive program.

A handful of companies have begun selling Apple Watches to their employees for $25, Fortune writes, citing The Wall Street Journal. The WSJ report says that’s the deal offered by some companies who have joined a wellness-incentive program from health services firm Vitality Group, the goal of which is to motivate workers to exercise and be healthier, thus avoiding health complications and saving the companies money on insurance premiums. But as with every deal that seems too good to be true, there’s a catch: Employees must either meet monthly health goals or pay full price for the watch.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
