Each wearable offers something a little different (their prices indicate their breadth of features), and we’re already starting to see big price drops. Additionally, we’re still recommending some recent predecessors in Apple’s portfolio, including the Series 10 and Ultra 2, for which discounts are fairly common. But with all of those options, which one should you pick? Generally speaking, you want to buy the newest watch you can afford so that it continues to receive software updates from Apple. The latest update, watchOS 26, launched in September on the Series 6 and newer models. That means those still using a Series 5 or older — including the original Apple Watch SE — are getting left behind in terms of features. Apple Watch Series 11 deals Apple Watch Series 11 (42mm, GPS) Where to Buy: $399 $379 at Amazon $399 $379 at Walmart $399 at Best BuyApple Watch Series 11 (46mm, GPS) Where to Buy: $429 $419.99 at Amazon $429 $407.47 at Walmart $429 at Best Buy The new Apple Watch Series 11 is a fairly iterative update of the Series 10, meaning those who already own Apple’s last-gen flagship may not necessarily feel compelled to upgrade. That being said, the newest model does tout a more power-efficient 5G modem and a more scratch-resistant display, as well as an additional 6 hours of battery life over the Series 10. It’s also the slimmest Apple Watch to date and the first to offer FDA-cleared hypertension notifications out of the gate, which you can also now leverage on both the Series 9 and Ultra 2. If you’re looking to be an early adopter, however, you can pick up the Apple Watch Series 11 in the 42mm / GPS configuration at Amazon and Walmart starting at $379 ($20 off), which is significantly more expensive than its recent low of $299. If you prefer the larger 46mm / GPS model, it’s on sale at Walmart starting at $407.47 — a mere $22 off the MSRP and almost $80 more than its lowest price to date.

Apple Watch Series 10 deals Apple Watch Series 10 (42mm, GPS) Where to Buy: $399 $249 at WalmartApple Watch Series 10 (46mm, GPS) Where to Buy: $429 $279 at Walmart $429 $309.99 at Amazon $429 $364.99 at Best Buy If you’re looking for a real deal — and you’re not particularly tempted by what the Series 11 offers — the Series 10 still holds its own. The last-gen smartwatch packs the same S10 SiP chip that’s in the Series 11, as well as support for fast-charging, a gorgeous wide-angle OLED display, and a design that’s still significantly slimmer and lighter than previous models. It also features both depth and water temperature sensors, along with an FDA-cleared sleep apnea detection feature and the aforementioned hypertension notifications, courtesy of watchOS 26. Thankfully, the Series 10 remains on sale at Walmart in the 42mm sizing with GPS starting at $249 ($150 off), while the larger 46mm GPS variant is available for an all-time low of $279 ($80 off) at Walmart.

Apple Watch SE 3 deals Apple Watch SE 3 (40mm, GPS) Where to Buy: $249 $239.99 at Amazon $249 at Best Buy $249 $239 at WalmartApple Watch SE 3 (44mm, GPS) Where to Buy: $279 $269 at Amazon $279 $269 at Walmart $279 at Best Buy While the Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3 introduce a handful of iterative updates, the new Apple Watch SE 3 represents a significant upgrade over its 2022 predecessor. The entry-level watch features the same speedy S10 chip found in Apple’s flagship models, for one, letting you take advantage of Apple’s double tap feature, wrist flick gestures, and on-device Siri. The SE 3 also (finally) adds an always-on display, 5G connectivity, support for fast-charging, and audio playback so you can listen to music or podcasts directly from your wrist. On the health front, the SE 3 introduces a wrist-temperature sensor for retrospective ovulation tracking, along with breathing disturbance alerts, sleep apnea notifications, and a new Sleep Score that breaks down time spent in each stage. What you won’t find are the Series 11’s EKG functionality, blood oxygen monitoring, or hypertension notifications — those are exclusive to the Series and Ultra models. In terms of deals, the Apple Watch SE 3 is currently available at Amazon and Walmart in its 40mm base configuration with GPS for around $239 ($10 off), which is about $40 shy of its lowest price to date. You can also pick up the larger 44mm model at Amazon and Walmart starting at $269, a slight $10 discount. Read our full Apple Watch SE 3 review.
