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.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
