If you’re a T-Mobile customer your first Apple Watch Series 10 with cellular will cost you the full price of $499, though you can pay in installments. If you want a second one, you can pick that one for a $300 discount, paid back in bill credits. You’ll have to add a line for each watch. This offer applies to any of the Apple Watches T-Mobile carries, so you can get one or two Series 10, SE or the Ultra 2.

In a deal very similar to the T-Mobile offer, AT&T will give you $300 off a second Apple Watch. That means if you purchase an Apple Watch Series 10, you’ll get the second watch (any Apple Watch they offer) wiill be $300 less, paid in bill credits. 

You’ll need to add one new line between the two, pay an activation fee and add a wearable service plan for each. 

Big discounts are hard to find and right now Amazon is listing the Apple Watch Series 10 (cellular) at $490, a modest $9 discount. Several color variants are available at this price but this can fluctuate based on stock. 

The GPS-only is not currently discounted. 

Walmart’s offer is identical to Amazon’s in that you can save a modest $9 off the price of the cellular model. What models are available at this price may fluctuate but currently only rose gold/plum and silver/blue are priced available at this discount. 

The GPS-only version is priced at $399 with no current discount. 

You won’t find any dramatic discounts at Apple on their latest Apple Watch but if you have an older device to trade-in you can get between $50 and $365 trade-in credit. 

When you purchase an Apple Watch Series 10 at Verizon and trade-in an older device, you can get up to $180 in bill credits. The exact amount will depend on what device you trade in, but you can swap in an Apple Watch Series 3 or newer. Verizon will also accept select models from other non-Apple brands such as Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel.

Apple is now featuring several new band configurations for the Apple Watch Ultra 2 but they aren’t featuring any big discounts. You can save between $50 and $365 when you trade in a previous-gen Apple Watch, which is a great option for those with Apple Watch Series 8 or 9 that want to go for the ultimate upgrade. 

Best Buy doesn’t have any straight discounts on the price of the Apple Watch Ultra 2 however Best Buy Plus members can save $50. In addition, there is the potential to save using Best Buy’s trade-in program if you have a similar device to trade in. 

If you purchase an Apple Watch Ultra 2 through AT&T you can get $300 off the second one, whether that’s another Ultra 2, the SE or the Series 10. You have to add both to your cart to get the savings, and at least one of them requires a qualifying line. 

If you purchase two of the Apple Watch Ultra 2 (or the Series 10 or SE 2nd Gen) on a monthly payment plan and add second new line of qualifying service, you will receive $300 back in bill credits over 24 months. 

Buy an Apple Watch Ultra 2 with any plan and trade in a qualifying device for up to $180 in trade in credit.

Right now you can pick up the 41mm Apple Watch Series 9 in blue or pink for $50 off at Best Buy. Your purchase will come with four free months of Apple Fitness Plus and three free months of Apple Music. 

In addition, there is potential to save a bit more if you have an older smartwatch to trade in. Although a later-generation Apple Watch will get you the most money, Best Buy also accepts trade-ins from Fitbit, Garmin, Samsung and more. 

Verizon is offering the same deal on both the Series 10 and Series 9. It’s not a direct discount, but when you buy the watch and trade in an older device, you can get up to $180 in bill credits. The exact amount will depend on what device you trade in, but you can swap in an Apple Watch Series 3 or newer as well as select smartwatches from Samsung and Google.

Similar to Walmart, Amazon has the Apple Watch SE down to $189 with a number of color variants currently in stock and available at this nice discount. 

The Apple Watch SE is not discounted at Apple however you can save between $50 and $365 when you trade in an older device using Apple’s trade-in program. 

Verizon customers who purchase an Apple Watch SE can save up to $180 in trade-in credits if they have an older device to swap in. You’ll get the most for newer Apple Watch models but other brands can be traded in as well including Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel watches. 

T-Mobile is offering customers a free Apple Watch SE 40mm when you add a qualifying line. The discount is given in bill credits over 24 months. This offer is available online only. 

AT&T will give you $300 back in bill credits if you commit to buying two Apple Watches including the SE, Series 10 or Ultra. You’ll need to add both watches to your cart and add a qualifying line for at least one of them to get the deal. 

The Apple Watch SE is in stock at Best Buy in multiple color variants, although there is no straightforward discount. You can potentially save some money with Best Buy’s trade-in program, which will allow you to trade in a similar device. These can include other brands such as Garmin and Fitbit, although newer model Apple Watches will get you the most.
