Best Early October Prime Day Apple Watch Deals

Macworld

One of the best times of the year to get a good deal on a new Apple Watch is during Amazon’s Prime Day Sale. This fall, Prime Day is on October 10-11.

During that time we’ll be tracking all the best deals on the Apple Watch, and we’ll even have some early deals up before the event (which are sometimes just as good). The latest Apple Watches are the Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Ultra 2, and second-gen Apple Watch SE, but you can sometimes find good deals on last-year’s models, too.

The Amazon Prime Sale is only open to Prime members, so you’ll need to sign in with an active membership to purchase one of the deals. Prime memberships cost $139 / £95 / AUD$59 annually, or $14.99 / £8.99 / AUD$6.99 on a monthly basis. New users can sign up for a 30-day free trial that can be canceled at any time during the trial window.

Prime Day: Best Apple Watch SE deals

The Apple Watch SE is the more affordable option, essentially a cross between an Apple Watch Series 4 and Series 6. Its display isn’t quite as large and doesn’t have the always-on feature, nor does it have the blood oxygen or ECG features. But it still does most of what people want an Apple Watch for, while saving you around $100.

Apple Watch SE (40mm) GPS: $239 ($10 off)

Apple Watch SE (44mm) GPS: $269 ($10 off)

Apple Watch SE (40mm) GPS + Cellular: $289 ($10 off)
