UPDATE: Jun. 28, 2023, 5:00 a.m. EDT We've updated this post to reflect the most recent pricing and availability on Apple Watches.
It's been over seven years since the first generation Apple Watch began to grace people's wrists. In that time, the Apple wearable has evolved in size, power, and — because it's Apple — price. If you're into the idea of having a fitness tracker, an extension of your phone, and all the world's conveniences (or, at least a few more than you're used to) wrapped around your wrist, but aren't into shelling out the max amount of cash, you've come to the right place. Every week, we'll keep a watch out (too much?) and update this post with the best Apple Watch deals from across the internet.
Apple Watch Series 8 deals
Why we like it
The Series 8 is still $70 off in most colorways. While it's not an essential upgrade, for those who like their health trackers up-to-date or are on the last legs of an older watch (or investing in one for the first time,) the Series 8 is a great pick, especially this week when there are no noteworthy Series 7 deals.

Apple Watch Series 7 deals
Why we like it
Let's be honest, Apple Watch bands don't always look the most fashion-forward. If you want something you can reliably pair with your outfits, this Series 7 with the graphite stainless steel and Milanese loop is a great pick. Even better, it's nearly identical to the next-gen model (missing only the crash detection and fertility tracking) and costs the same amount as the 41mm Series 8 at its full price.
Apple Watch SE deals
Why we like it
Unless you're into the blood oxygen and ECG sensors, we're betting you won't really notice the difference between the second-gen SE and the Series 8. The watch comes equipped with the same S8 chip, the same 18-hour battery life, and the same basic tracking features. While you might want to wait to buy since it's a good $20 away from its lowest price ever, the $9 discount is still better than buying full price.

Apple Watch Ultra deals
Why we like it
We wouldn't recommend this watch for everyone, but if you're looking for a watch for the hardcore outdoor adventurer in your life, the Ultra is it. Its hefty price tag reflects an array of top-of-the-line features, including the largest watch face Apple's ever made, built-in cellular, 36 hours of battery life, a titanium case, 100m water resistance, and a host of advanced fitness metrics.
