Whether you’ve already got an older model on your wrist or you’ve been waiting to purchase your first smartwatch, there’s no question that an Apple Watch is the cream of the crop, especially for those with iPhones. The recent release of the ultra-thin Apple Watch Series 10 means that now there are even more Apple Watches to choose from. A new Apple Watch isn’t the cheapest purchase, so we’ve been keeping an eye out for the lowest prices out there.

Whether you want the latest or the budget-friendly Apple Watch SE or something in between, we’re seeing retailers and carriers offer some nice discounts. If the Apple Watch Series 10 seems too expensive, the Apple Watch Series 9 is still a high-quality smartwatch option, although unfortunately, we’re not seeing many big deals on the Series 9 right now. Of note, we’ve found new models of the Apple Watch Series 8 even harder to find since it’s now two generations old, but Best Buy offers certified Geek Squad refurbished models.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

The latest Apple Watch Ultra 2 is the most luxe model in the Apple Watch lineup, and while we’ve found a few discounts on the Ultra 2, we’ve found none on its predecessor, the Apple Watch Ultra. We did spot a premium refurbished Apple Watch Ultra at $110 less than the original price at Amazon. Target has the Ultra 2 in stock with many band colors still available, but it is not currently discounted.

Because of limited supplies, prices and availability tend to change often, especially with retailers like Amazon and Walmart. We’ll continue to update this list with the best deals as we find them. It’s also worth noting that Apple is still in the middle of an ongoing patent dispute, which means the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 models no longer include the blood-oxygen monitoring feature.

Right now, Walmart has the lowest price on the Apple Watch Series 9 if you opt for the black variant in 41mm size. It’s priced at $299, a $100 discount. Since the announcement of the new Apple Watch Series 10, Series 9 prices have fluctuated as stocks start to be sold. 

Best Apple Watch SE deals

Apple/CNET

Released back in 2022, the second-gen Apple Watch SE is the most recent Apple Watch that hasn’t been affected by the lawsuit, which means it’s still available from Apple and most retailers. It offers a slew of upgrades over the first generation, including the same processor as the Watch Series 8, crash detection and a few others. It’s already one of our favorite budget-friendly smartwatches and right now you can pick it up from Walmart for $60 off.
