We’re not sure how long stocks will last for either model though, so if you’re interested in one of both of them, you’re going to have to proceed with your purchase as soon as you can. If you hesitate, you may miss out.

If you want to stick with Apple Black Friday smartwatch deals but you need to keep the budget tight, you should consider the Apple Watch SE 2. While there are more technically advanced models of the Apple Watch (such as the one below), the Apple Watch SE 2 may be enough for you if you’re willing to skip the always-on screen, ECG, and blood oxygen monitoring. The wearable device features a comprehensive suite of fitness tracking features, safety features such as fall detection and crash detection, and water resistance of up to 50 meters. The Apple Watch SE 2 is also smooth and fast with the S8 processor, which also powers the Apple Watch Series 8.

We weren’t expecting the Apple Watch Series 9 to appear in Amazon Black Friday deals so soon after its release, but here it is. We’ve crowned it the best smartwatch for the iPhone in our roundup of the best smartwatches because of an extensive list of health, fitness, and safety features, combined with the performance provided by the S9 processor. It ships with WatchOS 10, the latest version of Apple’s operating system for its wearable devices, which enables Double Tap, adds a variety of watch faces, and improves Apple Maps, among many other upgrades. The Apple Watch Series 9 also comes with an always-on display, temperature sensors, and a battery that can last up to 18 hours on a single charge and up to 36 hours with Low Power Mode activated.

Should you shop these deals or wait for Cyber Monday?

Shop now, because there’s no guarantee that these fantastic Apple Watch deals we’re seeing now will be available tomorrow, let alone on Cyber Monday, and it’s even more unlikely that these items will be cheaper then. The same deals we’re seeing on Black Friday tend to run the weekend through the Cyber Monday deals event.

Our favorite Samsung tablet Cyber Monday deal
Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 -- $149, was $199

The specifications of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 is far from what you'll find in the best tablets, as it's only equipped with an octa-core Unisoc processor and 3GB of RAM. However, for most people who only want to buy a tablet for basic functions like browsing the internet, checking social media, and watching streaming content, this device will prove to be more than enough. The Android tablet's 10.5-inch touchscreen features 1920 x 1200 resolution, which makes it large and sharp for a budget device, and while internal storage is limited at 32GB, you can add more space for your photos and videos through an up to 1TB microSD card.
