So this is what I was told by Verizon. If you want to buy an Apple Watch, the 50% off is only on the Apple Watch 3, otherwise you can get $150 off. I wanted to buy a Apple Watch 5 for me and one for a friend, they said that there would not even be a $150 discount because the two watches are not on the same account.
Conclusion: There is NO POINT in buying the watches from Verizon. BUY THEM FROM APPLE AND AVOID THE MIDDLE MAN (Verizon). If Verizon does not want to sell me Apple Watch 5's I have no issue with that.
I sent a request for a phone call and have not received one.
