iPhone owners who are thinking about finally joining the smartwatch bandwagon can do so on a budget with the second-generation Apple Watch SE. The cost is even lower right now following Walmart’s $60 discount for the GPS, 40mm version of the wearable device, slashing its price to just $189 from $249. We’re not sure how much time is remaining before its price goes back to normal though, so to make sure that you don’t miss out on one of the cheapest Apple Watch deals available, we highly recommend pushing through with your purchase immediately.

Why you should buy the Apple Watch SE 2

We tagged the Apple Watch SE 2 as the best budget smartwatch for the iPhone in our list of the best smartwatches primarily because it’s almost the same wearable device as the previous-generation Apple Watch Series 8, but for a more affordable price. It even holds up against the latest version, with our Apple Watch Series 9 versus Apple Watch SE 2 comparison highlighting that the budget-friendly smartwatch is still compatible with the new watchOS 10, and it offers many of the same health-tracking features and nearly identical fitness options as the Apple Watch Series 9.

The Apple Watch SE 2 offers fall detection and crash detection, with an emergency message automatically sent to your loved ones when it detects that you’re involved in an accident. It also has a water resistance rating of up to 50 meters, and a battery that can last up to two days on a single charge. It’s also very easy to pair with your iPhone, in a setup process that only takes a few minutes to complete.

If you’re on the hunt for affordable smartwatch deals and you own an iPhone, there’s probably no better option right now than Walmart’s offer for the GPS, 40mm model of the second-generation Apple Watch SE. From its sticker price of $249, it’s down to $189 for savings of $60, but we don’t think the wearable device will stay this cheap for long. The bargain will end soon or the stocks up for sale will run out quickly — either way, you’re going to have to finish your transaction for the second-generation Apple Watch SE as soon as possible.

The 11-inch iPad Pro M2 sold out, but you can get the iPad Pro M4 for the same price

iPad Pro with M2 inside.

If you've been looking forward to the arrival of this year's Cyber Monday Apple deals. it's time to get excited. There are some excellent deals. Best Buy was offering the Wi-Fi + Cellular model of the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro M2 for only $1,099, following a $1,000 discount that nearly halved the tablet's original price of $2,099. But since there's always high demand for savings on Apple's iPad from Cyber Monday deals, that offer is sold out. Don't panic, though. Best Buy also has the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro with M4 Chip for the same price -- $1,099. It's only a savings of $100, down from $1,199, but that's still a fantastic price. We highly recommend shopping this deal before it sells out too.

Why you should buy the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro M4 instead
The Apple iPad Pro M2 wasn't the latest version of the powerful tablet -- that distinction goes to the Apple iPad Pro M4, yet both have rightfully taken their place in our list of the best iPads as the best premium option. Since the first deal on the M2 model sold out, you're getting the best of the best right now for the same price, anyway.
