With Apple Watch Series 10 preorders now available, the hunt begins for Apple Watch deals on the new model of the wearable device. If you own the 41mm model of the Apple Watch Series 9 in Midnight or Starlight, and in good condition, you may want to check out Best Buy’s enhanced trade-in offer that will let you save up to $300, which would bring the price of the 42mm, GPS model of the Apple Watch Series 10 down from $399 to only $99. You’re going to have to hurry with the transaction if you want to get the new smartwatch as soon as it rolls out on September 20.

Why you should buy the Apple Watch Series 10

The Apple Watch Series 10 was announced at Apple’s It’s Glowtime event, and while it hasn’t been released yet, there’s already a lot of interest in the wearable device. It’s powered by Apple’s S10 chipset that maximizes its efficiency, with a battery that can replenish 80% after just 30 minutes of charging. Health and fitness tracking is still amazing in the Apple Watch Series 10, which adds features such as sleep apnea detection, depth gauge and water temperature sensors, and the Vitals app that can measure your Training Load to inform you whether you’re pushing too hard or you can work out a bit more.

In comparison with its predecessor, the Apple Watch Series 9, the Apple Watch Series 10 looks pretty similar with the Digital Crown. However, the new model is thinner and lighter for a much sleeker design, and its display is also bigger — even larger than the screen of the Apple Watch Ultra 2. The Apple Watch Series 10 also offers better off-angle viewing through its wide-angle OLED panel, and an upgraded speaker that’s surprisingly loud for playing music and listening to podcasts.

The Apple Watch Series 10 won’t launch until September 20, but there are also some smartwatch deals involving the newly announced model. If you have the 41mm model of the Apple Watch Series 9 in Midnight or Starlight, and in good condition, you should think about taking advantage of Best Buy’s enhanced trade-in offer that will give you $300 in credit that you can use towards the 42mm, GPS model of the Apple Watch Series 10. This would effectively reduce its price from $399 to just $99! You better make the purchase now if you want to get the wearable device on the first day that it’s out.

Apple Watch Ultra 2 is discounted for Cyber Monday — $80 off

All of Apple's smartwatch models are what we would consider to be a great buy, including the Apple Watch Ultra 2. It probably won't come as a huge shock, but Amazon has discounted the Apple Watch Ultra 2 as part of a Cyber Monday deal. It means you can buy the 49mm GPS + Cellular model for $80 off right now. That brings it down to $719 from $799. While that isn't a cheap deal by any means, it's rare to get such a discount on one of Apple's best products. We can't say how long it'll stay at this price. It seems likely the deal will end soon. So, let's take a quick look at what it offers before you decide to buy. If you're looking for the best Cyber Monday smartwatch deals, this is certainly one of the mainstays.

 
Why you should shop this Apple Watch Ultra 2 deal at Amazon
We tagged the Apple Watch Ultra 2 as the best premium smartwatch for the iPhone in our list of the best smartwatches, and at first glance, it's obvious why. The 49mm titanium case and Always-On OLED touchscreen will catch anybody's attention. The size and brightness, alone stand out. Meanwhile, the interface is very fast and fluid because it's powered by Apple's new S9 chipset.

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.

Why you should buy the Apple Watch Series 10
As our Apple Watch Series 10 review explains, “the Apple Watch Series 10 is another strong entry in the Apple Watch family, and a (mostly) easy recommendation”. It has a new, thinner design than previous Apple Watches, along with a subtle but welcome screen upgrade. It also has a new speaker and improved charging speed, so it’s a good upgrade for existing Apple Watch owners.
