The first-generation Apple Watch SE, which was released in 2020, and the second-generation Apple Watch SE, which was rolled out in 2022, are the most affordable ways of getting an Apple Watch.

How we chose the best Apple Watch deals

The Apple Watch lineup regularly makes for some of the best Apple deals to shop. The discounts that are regularly available on pretty much all Apple Watch models can range anywhere from modest to significant, but there does seem to be quite a few Apple Watch deals to choose from at any given moment. This can make tracking down the best Apple Watch deals a little difficult, so we consider a few things to make the job of selecting the best Apple Watch deals more convenient for you.

The newest Apple Watches actually turn up some great smartwatch deals pretty regularly. They’re often scattered across retailers, but the most recent Apple Watch releases are important to keep an eye on. Right now these include the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2. As well, the Apple Watch SE 2 is its most recent Special Edition release. We put a primary focus on these models when we select the best Apple Watch deals specifically because they’re new, popular, and in-demand for a discount.

But the latest and greatest isn’t what everyone’s after, and with Apple’s technology and features holding up well over time we also make a point of including some older Apple Watch models among our selections for the best Apple Watch deals. These include the original Apple Watch Ultra, as well as the original Apple Watch SE and older Apple Watch models like the Series 8 and Series 7. Sometimes we dip into the refurbished bins here, which always come with warranties and can include some of the largest savings available on an Apple Watch.
