Amazon cuts prices on Apple Watch Series 4 and Series 3 smartwatches

In the market for a new Apple Watch? The Apple Watch Series 4 is a little more affordable — the 40mm Space Gray Apple Watch Series 4 is down to $450 on Amazon if you use the Amazon coupon.

Smartwatches are getting increasingly popular, but the Apple Watch is still really the best smartwatch out there. It’s well designed, ultra-powerful, and offers a ton of great fitness-tracking features, including the ability to take electrocardiograms on the Apple Watch Series 4. Even the Apple Watch Series 3 is a great smartwatch, offering most of the same great fitness tracking features as the Series 4, along with a similar design and sleek build.

The Space Gray Apple Watch Series 4 isn’t the only Apple Watch getting discounted. The larger 44mm Apple Watch Series 4 is also being cut. Usually, the device comes in at $530 — but on Amazon, you can get it for $505— which isn’t a bad price at all.

If you’re willing to do away with the EKG sensor, then perhaps the Apple Watch Series 3 is better for you, considering the fact that it’s a little cheaper than the Apple Watch Series 4. Thankfully, it has gotten some pretty sweet discounts, too. For starters, the 38mm Apple Watch Series 3, with the white sports band and GPS (no cellular), is available for $200, which is a seriously good price. The device usually comes at $280, so the new price represents a pretty impressive $80 off. Alternatively, you could get the larger 42mm GPS Space Gray Apple Watch Series 4 with a black sports band, which is available for $230 — or $80 off the usual price of $310.

Of course, there are good reasons to buy the Series 4 instead of the Series 3, EKG sensor aside. The Apple Watch Series 4 changes the design of the Apple Watch a little, giving the device an edge-to-edge display and slightly more rounded corners. In our review of the Apple Watch Series 4, we noted that that device was beautifully designed, offered awesome features, and more. In fact, the only real downside to the device is that it has a relatively short battery life, but the battery is still more than good enough to get you through a day of normal use.

The year wraps up in a few more weeks, and 2024 was a pretty good one for Apple in terms of the iPhone 16 and the Apple Watch Series 10.

Apple made some big changes with the Apple Watch this year, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t room for improvement. Here’s what I’m hoping to see from the Apple Watch in 2025.

I tracked my sleep with a smart display, ring, and watch. This is my favorite
The Oura Ring app on an iPhone 16 Pro Max, showing the Sleep screen.

Since I had a heart attack four years ago, I’ve been on a journey to understand my health. A crucial part of my recovery and focus has been my sleep, and it'smade even more important by the fact that my heart attack took place in the middle of the night while I was fast asleep. Thankfully, I woke up, but our sleep can tell us a lot about our underlying health.

Virtually every wearable now offers some form of sleep tracking, but like most things in technology, not all devices are created equal. Beyond just data, there’s also the question of which is most comfortable to track your sleep, which device gives you the most reliable data, and ultimately, how you can ensure you track your sleep wherever you are.

Upcoming OnePlus Watch 3 might have a rotating crown
Third part watch face on OnePlus Watch 2r.

After a less-than-exciting launch with the OnePlus Watch 2, it's time for a change — and hopefully, a wearable that more closely matches modern devices. We expect the OnePlus Watch 3 to release on January 7, but now new details suggest it might come with a rotating crown.

This update is a big win for OnePlus Watch fans. The crown has been a long-requested feature that will make it easier to navigate through the interface, and improved sensors give access to ECGs and other features that were missing in the previous generation, according to Yogesh Brar.
