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.

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
