There are a lot of Cyber Monday deals to shop for right now, and Cyber Monday smartwatch deals are some of the best among them. In particular, Cyber Monday Apple Watch deals stand out to us, as almost every Apple Watch model sees a discount on Cyber Monday. The Apple Watch shows up regularly among the best smartwatches and best fitness trackers, so take a hard look at these Cyber Monday Apple Watch deals if you’re in the market for a new piece of wearable tech.

Apple Watch Series 10 [GPS 42mm] — $329 $399 18% off

The Apple Watch Series 10 comes in several sizes, with this Cyber Monday deal dropping the 42mm size to $329. This is a pretty good deal for what is essentially a brand new release, as it offers up $70 in savings. The Series 10 offers up to 40% more screen area than previous models, as well as a thinner, lighter, and more comfortable design. If you’re after Apple’s latest and greatest release, this is the Apple Watch model you should go for.

Apple Watch SE 2 [GPS 40mm] — $149 $249 40% off

The SE2 is the humblest of the Apple Watches available today, but that doesn’t mean it is hindered in any way for the typical user. All of the core function that you want from a health-tracking watch, plus all of the sweet iPhone connection possibilities, are still there. In fact, our Apple Watch SE 2 review (which covers the 44mm version of this watch) actually praises the watch for the extra simplicity it brings. More is not always better.

Apple Watch SE 2 [GPS + Cellular 40mm] — $219 $299 27% off

Another Apple Watch SE 2, this time with cellular capabilities. At $219, this is an excellent way to get into the cellular Apple Watch sphere. It ensures you don’t need to have a phone with you at all times and just might help you break your phone addiction.

Apple Watch Series 9 [GPS 42mm] — $329 $399 18% off

This is the Apple Watch Series 9 model with a graphite stainless steel case and midnight sport band. It’s pretty class, which is why it has a higher price point than you’ll find among most Apple Watches. But it also has an 18% Cyber Monday discount, which brings its price down from $329 to $399. This offers some really great value, as you’ll be getting a beautiful smartwatch that includes all of the features the Apple Watch Series 9 lineup has to offer.

Apple Watch Series 10 [GPS 46mm] — $359 $429 16% off

The Apple Watch Series 10 is really new and just finding its deal footings. At 16% off, we’re not yet getting a lot off, but we have broken the $400 barrier on the 46mm version. As explained in our Apple Watch Series 10 review, the watch has a bright OLED screen with a wide viewing angle. You might also enjoy the speaker, which is serviceably loud.

Apple Watch Ultra 2 [GPS + Cellular 49mm] — $720 $799 10% off

Despite the high price, this is the deal to get if you want an Apple Watch at a good discount. To put it into perspective, we were finding this watch at $749 after the latest Prime event, but are finding it for $720 now. Plus, as shown in our Apple Watch Ultra 2 review, this watch has a big, bright screen that looks absolutely fantastic.

How to choose an Apple Watch on Cyber Monday

In many ways, choosing an Apple Watch on Cyber Monday is like choosing a budget for anything else. Get the best you can get based on your budget. The SE 2 and Series 9 Apple Watches are going to be the cheaper watches for a couple of reasons. One, the SE 2 is designed to be on the cheaper side, giving you the basic needs of a smartwatch without being extra fancy. Then, the Series 9 is an “older” model now that the Series 10 is in, making it ripe for deals. If your budget is somewhat higher, look for one of the Ultra watches.

The next interesting thing is the comparison between the Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch 10. The Series 10 might be a great watch to get if you’re looking for the absolute latest, but isn’t necessarily a great upgrade if you already own a 9. For example, the newer of the two watches doesn’t have blood oxygen monitoring, at least at this time. That means that you might want to “skip ahead” to an Ultra version instead if you already have the 9 and want an upgrade.

How we chose these Apple Watch Cyber Monday deals

These deals weren’t too hard to pick out, considering the limited amounts of models of Apple Watch around today. The most important thing was finding models that people would likely want and use, looking at sites like Best Buy and Amazon that have reliable product distribution, and then finding the best price available.

Ultimately, we’re pretty familiar with Apple Watches and know that they’re a reliable product. You’ll see links to our hands on reviews of them in the writeups above, as well. It is not to say that there aren’t excellent Apple Watch alternatives, but if you’re an iPhone user there aren’t many better smartwatches than these.

The 9th Gen iPad with Apple’s A13 Bionic chip is only $200 today

The Apple iPad has been a popular holiday item for several years now. With Black Friday officially over, we’re surprised to see so many great iPad deals still live. That leads us to this offer we found: For a limited time, when you purchase the 9th Gen iPad with A13 Bionic, you’ll only pay $200. At full price, this iPad sells for $480. We had the opportunity to test this model a while back, and our iPad expert had the following to say: “The iPad 10.2 (2021) is the best iPad you can buy today. There are few discernible upgrades over the previous two generations, but if you don't have one, this is the one to get. If you do, there's no point in upgrading.” If that's not a solid argument for grabbing this 9th Gen iPad deal, I don't know what is.

Why you should buy the 9th Gen iPad
Even though the A14 version of the iPad was released back in 2022, it’s not unusual for Apple to still sell the A13 version brand-new. And then, when holidays like Black Friday and Christmas roll around, the company knocks a few extra dollars off this 2021 device. Don’t be fooled either: the Apple A13 Bionic is an incredible chip that delivers a buttery smooth iPadOS experience, complete with fast load times, animations, and excellent media playback.

The Apple iPad (10th Gen) is still down to $259 even if Black Friday is over

Okay, so Black Friday may officially be over, but that doesn't mean we have to jump the shark. There are still a ton of deals available, like this next one. The amazing discount from Walmart on the Apple iPad (1oth Gen) slashes the price quite a bit. The Wi-Fi, 64GB model is on sale for $259 (down from $349). It was one of the most attractive Black Friday tablet deals that we found this year and we're super happy it's still available. We're not sure for how long, though. Like with most Black Friday deals that stayed live, 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.

The Apple Watch Series 10 is still down to its lowest-price ever on Amazon

As you might have noticed, Black Friday is officially over. But that doesn't mean the Black Friday deals are all gone. No, on the contrary, because many of them are still available. In fact, one of our favorite deals features a discount on the Apple Watch Series 10. It's down to $329 (instead of $399) - saving you $70 for Black Friday. That's the lowest price it has ever been on Amazon, so if you’ve been waiting to treat yourself to the latest Apple Watch, this is a great time. It’s one of the best Black Friday smartwatch deals still around. Hurry, though, we don't know for how long.

 
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.
