I was going to wait until I was surprised on Father's Day! In reality, the Apple Watch Sport black 42mm which was what I wanted as I don't like the steel was £339 over here and comes to £283 in Florida after tax and exchange rates.
For the sake of £58 premium, I have something now rather than waiting 3 more months. On a Macbook Pro I'd wait for Florida, iPad maybe but the watch is only a marginal saving for the risk of being stopped in customs, however small a risk.
I know what you're saying but not many people only buy one thing so thought it worth bringing up. Personally we frequently buy too much and risk it but it is a risk.

We bought two on our recent trip. One for Diane and her friend (who was reimbursing us).
Both were packed in the same hand luggage for journey home.
Not sure why Jon had a problem at the Florida Mall Apple Store as this was where we purchased watches.
Visited this store a couple of times to look at watch, buy it and also purchases straps (bands in USA).
With the credit card exchange rate saving was approx £70 for each watch compared to UK prices
If anyone in you family or friend circle is a student/teacher you can get education discount on that too. Just thought I would let you know, I have used it on all my apple products.
I was going to buy one in April when at Florida Mall. They told me they were not allowed to sell to Non-US people at the US price and that the price would be £399 even if I bought it there.
Just buy it at home

Who told you that? You could quite easily be a US citizen with a British accent (there are enough of them) - so are they now doing ID/Passport checks at Apple Stores?
Seriously - I don't know who told you that but it's complete rubbish!
