It may be October but it’s never too early to start shopping for the holidays. And already, we’re seeing no shortage of fantastic early Black Friday deals, including those on Apple Watches.

While the new Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 look mighty tempting, you can save a whole lot of cash by instead springing for an older model, like the original Apple Watch SE, which Walmart is selling for just $149. The original Apple Watch Ultra — one of my all-time favorite adventure wearables — is also on sale right now for nearly 20% off.
