It's not really free, is it? I'm under the impression it's a $130 credit toward an Apple Watch, plus a $200 "wellness reimbursement," for a total of $330. The $200 can be used toward many other devices, and they've had that for at least a couple years now.

This is more in line with later clarifications of the program.  And the $200 can also be used for other fitness products, like gym memberships, not just "devices".
It would be interesting to know how much of the $130 credit Aetna is subsiding, or if it sort of represents a "watch at cost" contribution by Apple.
It would also be interesting to know which company made the first suggestion in initiating the program...it certainly makes sense for a health insurance company to seek to reduce its expenditures by encouraging employee and member health.  It also makes sense for Apple to want to get thousands of watches out there, visible to a public which,
if Bloomberg is correct, is still lukewarm on the product.
If I were a contributor here, who felt comfortable unreservedly raving about everything Apple (not referring to you, Soli), I might not mention that, despite living in a small city area of about 250,000 people, fairly close to greater LA, the only Watches I've seen in the wild, even now, are the two on my daughters' wrists.  
So, marvelous, but not ubiquitous.

Apple still makes computers? Hard to tell.

lol...
but wait, iMacs, laptops, iiPads, Phones, Watch, ATV...almost all the stuff they make IS a "computer", accessories aside...

"an "unnamed tech company" has paid for some of the outstanding shipping port fees..."

I wonder if it was Samsung...?

...didn't hear that coming.
