UPDATE: Jan. 26, 2023, 11:15 a.m. EST We’ve updated this post to reflect the most recent pricing and availability on Apple Watches.

• BEST OVERALL DEAL: The Apple Watch Series 7 (45mm, GPS + cellular) has most of the features of the Series 8, plus cellular connectivity for a much lower price— $329 $429 at Walmart (save $100)

• BEST BUDGET PICK: The second-gen Apple Watch SE (40mm, GPS) offers the basic Apple Watch experience at an affordable price point — $239.98 $249 at Amazon (save $9.02)

It’s been over seven years since the first generation Apple Watch began to grace people’s wrists. In that time, the Apple wearable has evolved in size and power, and naturally because it’s Apple, price. If you’re into the idea of having a fitness tracker, an extension of your phone, and all the world’s conveniences (or, at least a few more than you’re used to) wrapped around your wrist, but aren’t into shelling out the max amount of cash, you’ve come to the right place. Every week, we’ll keep a watch out (too much?) and update this post with the best Apple Watch deals from across the internet.

Apple Watch Series 8 deals

Why we like it

Last week we saw the Series 8 at its lowest price ever, and this week it’s hard to find a single Series 8 on sale. Walmart has the most colorways available at a $10 markdown, which admittedly, is not a big discount. But, if for whatever reason you need Apple’s latest smartwatch with crash detection and fertility tracking now, it’ll still save you some money.

• Apple Watch Series 8 (41mm, GPS) — $389 $399 at Walmart (save $10)

• Apple Watch Series 8 (45mm, GPS) — $419 $429 at Walmart (save $10)

Apple Watch Series 7 deals

Why we like it

A glance at the list above will tell you that Series 8 deals are few and far between this week, but this Series 7 pick offers a worthy alternative. If you’re not particularly keen on having crash detection or fertility tracking on your watch, the Series 7 is by far the better choice. You still get the same fitness features as the 8, including blood oxygen and heart rate sensors. The only catch is that you can only grab it at this price in its green colorway.

Apple Watch SE deals

Why we like it

If you don’t picture yourself checking your blood oxygen levels or heart rate regularly, chances are you can opt for the more basic (and more affordable) Apple Watch experience via the second-gen SE. This watch comes equipped with an S8 chip (that makes this SE 20% faster than its first-gen predecessor), crash detection features, and slight design upgrades on the case. Like the Series 8, the sale prices on this watch aren’t spectacular this week, but even so, it’s still nearly $150 cheaper than the Series 8.

Apple Watch Ultra deals

Why we like it

We wouldn’t recommend this watch for everyone, but if you’re looking for a watch for the hardcore outdoor adventurer in your life, the Ultra is it. Its hefty price tag reflects an array of top-of-the-line features including the largest watch face Apple’s ever made, built-in cellular, 36 hours of battery life, a titanium case, 100m water resistance, and a host of advanced fitness metrics.
