Best Prime Day Apple Watch deals 2021: Prime Day deals drop early

Looking for a new Apple Watch? The year’s biggest Prime Day deals have launched early, meaning there are few times to get a better deal when it comes to picking up an Apple Watch.

Prime Day 2021 officially begins tomorrow, June 21, but some huge Prime Day Apple Watch deals have already launched. Is Prime Day the best time for you to buy an Apple Watch? Quite probably — and some deals have already dropped this weekend. Read on as we explain all.

What Prime Day Apple Watch deals to expect

The biggest names tend to form part of Prime Day and we expect it to be the case with Prime Day Apple Watch sales. That means it’s almost certain that the Apple Watch Series 6 and Apple Watch SE will see discounts of some sort, but we expect to see the older Apple Watch Series 3 heavily discounted too.

Combined, that should mean there’s an Apple Watch for every budget with those able to afford more going for the Apple Watch Series 6 and those on a tight budget aiming for the Apple Watch Series 3. The ideal middle ground is the Apple Watch SE thanks to it offering many of the core features of the Series 6.

What Prime Day Apple Watch deals we saw last year

Last year’s Prime Day Apple Watch sales covered all the major Apple Watches available. That meant modest but important discounts for the Apple Watch Series 6, as well as the lower-priced Apple Watch SE. For those on a tight budget, there were even bigger discounts for the Apple Watch Series 3, Series 4, and Series 5, too. This big range of options meant plenty of choices for anyone looking to upgrade their smartwatch for less or anyone wanting to experience a smartwatch without having to invest too much money.

Should you buy an Apple Watch on Prime Day?

Technology is always one of the strongest sellers during Prime Day sales. That means it’s a good time to snap up a new smartwatch in the Prime Day Apple Watch sales with discounts expected.

It’s a good idea to know what to look for before making a purchase so check out our Apple Watch SE review and our Apple Watch Series 6 review. If you can’t decide, our Apple Watch Series 6 vs Apple Watch SE comparison will help you out even further.

The Apple Watch SE should suit most users and if you have an even smaller budget, the Apple Watch Series 3 is pretty sweet, too, so don’t feel obliged to buy the most expensive option.
