Amazon is out to prove that back to school sales aren't limited to just laptops and apparel. 

For a limited time, Amazon has the Apple Watch SE (GPS/40mm) on sale for $249. That's $30 off and one of the best Apple Watch deals we've seen all year. The Apple Watch SE is rarely on sale and when it is discounted, it sells out fast. Only the white model is on sale. If Amazon sells out, Walmart has the white model on sale for the same price.

The Apple Watch SE is one of the best smartwatches because it's a hybrid of the Apple Watch Series 5 and Series 4. It offers international emergency calling, fall detection, noise monitoring and an optional LTE model for $50 more.
