Nuked Hey everyone! Nuked here, and I’m excited to talk about the best Apple Watch deals right now.
In September, Apple released a slew of new smartwatches, including the first-ever Ultra ($799), the Series 8 ($399), and the new Apple Watch SE ($249). With so many options available, it can be hard to know which one to choose. Generally speaking, you should opt for the newest model you can afford so that you get the most up-to-date features and software updates.
Now, let’s get into the deals. Here are the best Apple Watch deals available right now.
The best Apple Watch Series 8 deals
The Apple Watch Series 8 is the latest model in Apple’s flagship Series lineup. It has a new chipset, temperature sensors for menstrual tracking, Crash Detection, and more. Plus, the starting price of the base model recently dropped to $349. Even better, both the 41mm and 45mm models are currently on sale at Best Buy, Amazon, and Target for an all-time low of around $329 and $359 respectively.
If you’re looking for an unlocked LTE-equipped model, Best Buy and Target have both sizes for $70 off — starting at $429 for the 41mm configuration and $459 for the 45mm variant.
The best Apple Watch SE deals
The Apple Watch SE was refreshed in late 2022. It has the same chipset as the Series 8 but with fewer sensors, no always-on display, and an older design compared to the Series 7 and 8. Despite these omissions, it may still be exactly what you’re after — especially since it starts at just $249 for the 40mm Wi-Fi/GPS model. You can get it for even less right now — around $219 at Best Buy and Target — which is about $30 off its baseline cost.
The GPS-only model is also available in 44mm sizing for as low as $249 ($30 off) at Best Buy and Target, or in an LTE-equipped configuration starting at $269 ($30 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. If you’re okay with getting last-gen hardware, Walmart even has the 40mm GPS-equipped SE for a total of $80 off — just $199.
The best Apple Watch Ultra deals
Apple’s big, thick, and capable Watch Ultra launched at $799 with GPS and LTE support. It has more features, sensors, and ruggedness than any other Apple Watch model available thus far. Right now, it’s on sale for $779.99 ($20 off) in medium and large band sizes at Amazon or for its full retail price of $799 at Target, Best Buy, and other retailers.
A note on premium models: In addition to aluminum models (except for Ultra), there are more premium options made of stainless steel or titanium with refined colors and finishings. However, these start at much steeper prices of $749 and above — they’re often on sale but never discounted as low as the standard base models.
