Keep reading for the best Apple Watch deals that are still available. While some of the savings aren’t massive, they’re still nothing to sneeze at. After all, a deal is a deal.

Apple The latest Apple Watch with even more features is now on sale. In addition to an always-on display and ECG, the Series 6 monitors blood oxygen levels (though you shouldn’t expect medical-grade results there). Regularly $399, Amazon recently dropped the price to $339, though if you order it now, it won’t be delivered until after Christmas, unless you have Amazon Prime. Read our Apple Watch Series 6 review.

The larger Apple Watch Series 5 is currently priced at $359. This model doesn’t have a blood-oxygen meter, but it does have the same exterior design and display features as the Series 6 — and this one is the cellular model, too.

The Watch SE is the stepdown model in Apple’s 2020 wristwatch line. It’s similar to the 2019 Series 5, but without the always-on screen and ECG function. The Watch SE also boasts a more powerful processor and a Retina display that’s 30% larger than the much older Series 3 (see below). Unlike the Series 3, the Watch SE also supports Apple’s new Family Setup feature that lets you set up an Apple Watch for your kid, but you’ll need to spend up for that cellular version (and an accompanying wireless plan).

Apple Watch Series 5: $299 for 40mm (Update: Expired)

Save $100 vs. previous list price

This 2019 model was technically discontinued with the introduction of the Series 6 in September. That said, while it’s lacking the blood-oxygen meter, it has the Series 6 ECG and always-on display features, as well as the identical exterior design. At $299, it’s a good deal if the prices on Series 6 don’t drop back down.

Apple Watch Series 3 (38mm): $119 (Update: Expired)

Save $80 vs. Apple Store

With its older design and dearth of bells and whistles, the Apple Watch Series 3 is getting long in the tooth. But with Walmart selling it at an all-time low of $119 (for the 38mm model), you could get two Series 3 models for the price of one SE. Currently, the white model is sold out, but the black is still available. Read our comparison of the Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Series 3.

Apple Watch Series 3 (42mm): $149 (Update: Expired)
