Apple expanded its Apple Watch family with the addition of the Apple Watch 6 and Apple Watch SE. Both watches are now available for purchase and there are even a few promos you can take advantage of.
The Apple Watch 6 is the new flagship Apple Watch with a new blood oxygen sensor that can track your blood oxygen level. The watch also supports Apple's new Sleep app, which is designed to help you reach your sleep goals.
On the hardware front, you get a new dual-core S6 CPU, an always-on Retina Display that's 2x brighter than its predecessor, and the option to get your watch with the new Apple Solo Loop. The Solo Loop is a seamless band that ditches the clasp and buckle. Apple Watch 6 pre-orders start at $399 at the Apple Store.
Meanwhile, the Apple Watch SE is Apple's new mid-tier smartwatch. It uses the same CPU found on the Apple Watch 5 and unlike the cheaper Apple Watch 3, it supports international emergency calling, fall detection, and family setup (on cellular models only). Apple Watch SE pre-orders start at $279 at the Apple Store.
Apple Watch 6 discounts
Verizon appears to be the first retailer to offer Apple Watch deals on the new models. Trade in your old Apple Watch at Verizon, and you'll get $100 off a new Apple Watch purchase. Alternatively, purchase any iPhone on a Verizon Device Payment plan and you'll get an extra $100 off any Apple Watch purchased on an installment plan.
At T-Mobile, the Apple Watch 6 is available for $20.84 a month with payments spread out over 24 months. The Apple Watch SE is available for monthly payments of either $13.75 for the 40mm version or $15 for the 44mm model. A current T-Mobile promotion lets you get a $200 credit off a second watch when you buy an Apple Watch 3 or later and activate a new line on a T-Mobile Watch plan.
