If you're after the best Black Friday deals on Apple Watches, you're in luck: Several models are seeing some of the steepest discounts of the year. Major savings are available on the Apple Watch Series 10, Series 9, and Ultra 2, with the budget-friendly Apple Watch SE also marked down. Whether you're looking for top-tier health tracking features or just the essentials, there's an option for every need and budget.
When choosing your Apple Watch, think about your priorities and budget. The Series 10 is perfect for those wanting advanced health features like nighttime temperature readings and ECG capabilities, while the SE offers a more affordable option for basic fitness tracking and notifications.
The Apple Watch lineup includes some of the best smartwatches on the market, but they can also be among the most expensive. That's why more than a dozen CNET shopping experts this month have been analyzing thousands of offers from trusted retailers. We're reporting our findings in lists like this, especially for products we've tested. And we're keeping this list up to date to make sure you get up-to-the-minute savings on Apple Watches.
Unlike most Apple products, pricing on Apple Watch models tends to fluctuate throughout the year. They are especially prone to price drops during major shopping events. Lo and behold, we're already seeing some significant deals as Black Friday nears. You can check out our roundup of Black Friday Apple deals for even more savings.
While Apple isn't offering direct discounts on the Apple Watch, there are plenty of offers at third-party retailers to take advantage of. Overall, the best deals we're seeing on Apple Watches right now are in Amazon's Black Friday deals, and we can also expect discounts to crop up as part of Best Buy's Black Friday sales. Other retailers to keep tabs on include Walmart and Target. Don't shy away from carrier deals if you're in the market for a cellular-enabled Apple Watch model and are willing to open a new line of service for the extra device.
If you're looking to hand over your existing Apple Watch for some credit against a new model this Black Friday, there are plenty of places you can do just that. Apple, of course, has its own trade-in program where you can get money off a new device, though Best Buy's similar program might be more appealing at this time of year since the retailer is also offering direct discounts on new Apple Watch models. There are also third-party services for selling used electronics, which might bag you more money.
