Apple Watch deals have never been better. Amazon and Walmart are offering some of the lowest prices ever with deals from $199 for current-gen Apple Watches. Although there are no major holidays this month, retailers are still offering solid deals at this time.  

Whether you're searching for deals on the Apple Watch SE or the latest Apple Watch 9, here are the best sales right now. Plus, make sure to read our Apple Watch 9 vs Apple Watch 8 comparison to find out which Apple Watch is best for you.  

Editor's Tip: Amazon tends to offer the best Apple Watch deals of all the retailers. However, the deals change rapidly and they vary based on size/color and connectivity. Your best bet is to check the Apple Watch/Amazon homepage, which lists every model of the Apple Watch (along with any price drops). Remember to click through the model you want because at times Amazon will offer hidden coupons/discounts that you can only see via the product page. Active promos will be applied during the final checkout stage.

The Apple Watch 9 is the best smartwatch on the market. The internal upgrades make a difference, the double tap gesture is super handy, and no one should take for granted the environmental statement this year's family of Apple Watch devices make. In our Apple Watch 9 review, we said it's not a noteworthy upgrade if you have a Series 7 or Series 8, but if this is your first Apple Watch or if you're upgrade from a much older model, the Series 9 is as future-proof as you can get. 

In terms of deals, the Apple Watch 9's price plummeted to $329 over the holiday season. That remains its lowest price to date. However, it can be frequently found on sale for $349 at major retailers like Amazon and Best Buy. As with most Apple Watch deals, we recommend checking different colors and sizes to see which model has the lowest price on any given day.

The Apple Watch 8 is still a powerful smartwatch. In our Apple Watch 8 review, we called the Editor's Choice watch a solid upgrade for anyone using the Series 4 or Series 5. It has a built-in skin temperature sensor and low power mode, which can extend the latest Apple Watch's battery life to 36 hours. The Apple Watch 8 also has a crash detection feature, leveraging improved motion sensors for instant help when you might need it most.

Whether you want a smartwatch for working out, answering calls from your wrist, or using the best Apple Watch apps, this is the best smartwatch on the market, as long as you have an iPhone, of course.

Apple Watch 8 deals have crashed as low as $329. The best retailers for deals include Amazon and Best Buy. It can be frequently found on sale for $369 at Amazon, but discounts tend to expire rapidly and they often vary based on band color.

The Apple Watch SE (2022) is Apple's new mid-tier watch. It packs the same chipset found in the Apple Watch Series 8, but for a lower price. Priced at $249, it's even $30 cheaper than the previous-gen Apple Watch SE. In our Apple Watch SE 2022 review, we called it the best Apple Watch value you'll find. 

In terms of design, the new Apple Watch SE (2022) looks like a resurrected Apple Watch Series 4, with thicker bezels than those on the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Series 7. The the bottom casing is now made of nylon composite materials that are color-matched to the bezel. You can't see it when it's on your wrist, but it's a subtle change that we like. Performance-wise, it's noticeably more sharp the original original Apple Watch SE's since it went from using theS5 chipset to the S8 chipset.

In terms of Apple Watch SE deals — Amazon is already offering a modest $10 discount on the larger 44mm Apple Watch SE 2022 model.

Specifications

Display: 38mm and 42mm OLED Retina
Processor: S3 dual-core
Onboard storage: 8GB or 16GB
Battery: 18 hours
OS: watchOS 6
Water resistant: Yes
Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, and LTE (optional)

Reasons to buy

Excellent fitness-tracking features
+
Most affordable Apple Watch you'll find

Reasons to avoid

-
Short battery life when connected to LTE

Apple has dropped the Apple Watch 3 from its lineup. As a result, it's getting harder to find deals on this model, so you might be better off looking for Apple Watch SE deals.

That said, if you want a cheap, entry-level watch, the Apple Watch Series 3 could be a good option for some people. It offers solid fitness tracking, a water proof design, and Apple Music streaming capabilities. The major trade-offs are that you get a dated design and you don't get access to the ECG app, which measures the electrical activity of your heart. It also won't support any of Apple's latest software updates. 

In terms of deals, the Apple Watch 3 (38mm/GPS) hit an all-time price low of $109 on Black Friday. It was an amazing Apple Watch deal that we likely won't see again till the next major holiday.
