The long holiday weekend is almost over, but 4th of July sales are still as hot as ever. In fact, Amazon has a killer discount on one of our favorite smartwatches. 

Currently, Amazon has the Apple Watch SE (GPS/40mm) on sale for $249 (opens in new tab). 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, it sells out fast. So get this deal while you can. Only the white model is on sale. If Amazon sells out, Walmart has the white (opens in new tab) and pink (opens in new tab) models 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.

In our Apple Watch SE review, we found Apple's new smartwatch to be a well-rounded device. It has a plethora of customizable watch faces, NFC for mobile payments, and supports Apple's new Family Setup, which lets you set up and manage an Apple Watch for your child or parent.

One thing to keep in mind: Apple Watch SE sales tend to sell out fast. So get this deal while it lasts.
