It’s been over seven years since the first generation Apple Watch began to grace people’s wrists. In that time, the Apple wearable has evolved in size and power, and naturally because it’s Apple, price. If you’re into the idea of having a fitness tracker, an extension of your phone, and all the world’s conveniences (or, at least a few more than you’re used to) wrapped around your wrist, but aren’t into shelling out the max amount of cash, you’ve come to the right place. Every week, we’ll keep a watch out (too much?) and update this post with the best Apple Watch deals from across the internet.

Our pick: Apple Watch Series 8 (41mm, GPS)
(opens in a new tab)
Why we like it
If you’re considering whether to upgrade from a Series 7, you won’t find that many new features in Apple’s latest smartwatch. However, for folks with older gens on their wrist, the Series 8 gives you more health sensors, crash detection, and the most future-proofed version of a standard-issue Apple Watch. And at $50 off, it’s back down to its lowest price ever at Amazon and Best Buy.

Apple Watch SE deals

Our pick: 2022 Apple Watch SE (40mm, GPS)
(opens in a new tab)
Why we like it
If you don’t picture yourself checking your blood oxygen levels or heart rate regularly, chances are you can opt for the more basic (and more affordable) Apple Watch experience via the second-gen SE. This watch comes equipped with an S8 chip (that makes this SE 20% faster than its first-gen predecessor), crash detection features, and slight design upgrades on the case. Though it’s not quite back down to its record low pricing, it is only $10 away and by far the best price it’s been since Cyber Week, but you’ll have to grab it in the starlight colorway to take advantage of the savings.

Apple Watch Ultra (49mm, GPS + cellular)
(opens in a new tab)
Why we like it
Also nearly back down to its record low pricing this week is the Apple Watch Ultra. We wouldn’t recommend this watch for everyone, but if you’re looking for a watch for the hardcore outdoor adventurer in your life, the Ultra is it. Its hefty price tag reflects an array of top-of-the-line features including the largest watch face Apple’s ever made, built-in cellular, 36 hours of battery life, a titanium case, 100m water resistance, and a host of advanced fitness metrics.
