Preorder Apple Watch Series 10 and Ultra 2: best deals so far

We will continue to update this page as new offers become available.

Apple announced a lot of great stuff at the Glowtime keynote, and one of the biggest is the new Watch Series 10 with a ton of upgraded features, including a larger display, which is, in fact, the largest display on an Apple Watch so far. It’s also a wide-angle OLED, so you can see it at steeper angles than before, which makes using it a lot easier. Plus the 40% increase in max brightness means you aren’t going to go running for shade every time you want to check it. It can also charge an incredible 80% battery after only half an hour of charging, which solves one of the bigger issues with smartwatches for those who want to use them to track their health and fitness.

Along with the new Watch Series 10, a new color for the Watch Ultra 2 was announced: Satin Black Titanium. No other changes have been made to the Ultra 2 in terms of specs, so it’s mostly just the new case color that you can snag if you’re interested.

While we’re still waiting for pre-orders from the main retailers to come in, if you’re looking to grab yourself a pre-order right now, we’ve listed all your options below.

The best Apple Watch Series 10 preorder deals

As you can imagine, with Apple just announcing the new Watch Series 10, the best preorder offers you’ll find are from Apple. The starting price is $399 for the standard Aluminium with GPS or up to $799 if you buy the Titanium case with GPS + Cellular in the 46mm size. You can also get between $50 and $365 in trade-in value, although the higher end of that is mostly going to be for the newer Apple Watches that are in pristine condition. Sadly, there is no way to get it down to zero, but you can knock off quite a substantial amount of that with the trade-in.

AT&T’s Apple Watch Series 10 preorder deals

While AT&T doesn’t offer any direct discounts on the Apple Watch Series 10, it does offer a deal that gives you $300 in bill credits over 36 months if you purchase two Watch Series 10 when checking out. This deal applies to any plan, so you don’t need any specific AT&T plans to take advantage of this deal.

T-Mobile’s Apple Watch Series 10 preorder deals

T-Mobile also offers a similar deal where you get $300 bill credits over 24 months when purchasing two Watch Series 10 watches when checking out. You will need a Plus plan to take advantage of this offer, as well as a second line, and if you cancel the agreement any time before the 24 month period, you have to pay the remaining balance.

Verizon’s Apple Watch Series 10 preorder deals

Verizon doesn’t offer any bill credits, but it does offer a trade-in program that will let you get up to $180 in trade-in credit for your older device. Just be aware that the trade-in doesn’t apply to all smartwatches, although Verizon does cover most Samsung and Apple watches, as well as the two Pixel watches. You can also save an additional $120 if you purchase a 5G Apple iPhone with any plan when you purchase the Watch Series 10.

More ways to preorder the Apple Watch Series 10

Are you ready? Cyber Monday is here and the deals are as green as ever. The Black Friday discount from Walmart on the Apple iPad (1oth Gen) is gone but the price is still low. The Wi-Fi, 64GB model is on sale for $331 (down from $349). It's not the most attractive Cyber Monday tablet deal that we've found but a discount is a discount. We're not sure for how long, though. Like with most Cyber Monday deals available, there's a chance that the offer disappears sooner than you think. If you want this device for a more affordable price than usual, we highly recommend buying soon.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad (10th Gen)
The Apple iPad (10th Gen), which was released in 2022, is the latest version of the base model of Apple's tablets. It's featured in our roundup of the best iPads as the one that you'd want to buy if you want to save some cash while still getting a great iPad. It's not as technically impressive as the sixth-generation Apple iPad Air, which tops that list, but the 10th-generation Apple iPad is about half the price while still delivering a really nice user experience with 2360 x 1640 resolution and 500 nits of brightness -- same as the sixth-generation Apple iPad Air -- on its slightly smaller 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display.
