The Apple Watch Series 10, which was just rolled out last week, is already available with a discount from the Apple Watch deals of Amazon. The wearable device’s GPS, 46mm model was originally priced at $429, but it’s now on sale for $399. The $30 off may not look like much, but it’s a nice bonus, especially if you were already thinking about buying Apple’s latest smartwatch in the first place. We’re not sure how much time is remaining on this offer though, so if you want to enjoy a little bit of savings with our purchase, you better hurry.

Why you should buy the Apple Watch Series 10

We gave the Apple Watch Series 10 a rating of 4 out of 5 stars in our review of the wearable device, which we described as “another strong entry in the Apple Watch family.” It offers impressive hardware, including a new speaker that will allow you to play music and podcasts on the smartwatch, and faster charging speeds to replenish its all-day battery life. The health and fitness features of the Apple Watch Series 10 is extremely comprehensive, with the new Vitals app providing an easy way of monitoring your body daily. Unfortunately blood oxygen tracking isn’t available in the US, and there’s no definite date on when it will return.

If you’re considering getting the previous-generation model as it’s cheaper, our Apple Watch Series 10 versus Apple Watch Series 9 comparison recommends buying the latest model. The Apple Watch Series 10 has a thinner body and a larger screen, with the wide-angle OLED display and high brightness making it very easy to see what’s on it. The depth gauge and water temperature sensors are cool additions if you’re a snorkeler, and performance is smoother with the S10 processor.

Are you sold on the Apple Watch Series 10? Then you may as well pocket the savings from this unexpected offer from Amazon, which has slashed the price of the smartwatch’s GPS, 46mm model to $399 from $429. New models of any of the brand’s devices don’t usually appear this soon in the Apple deals of any retailer, so we’re not sure what happened here. You shouldn’t complain if you’re interested in taking advantage of this bargain though — push through with the transaction right away so that you can get the Apple Watch Series 10 for cheaper than usual.

Update 10/8/24: We were able to find multiple deals on all of the major Samsung Galaxy Watch offerings — the 7, the Ultra, and older-but-still-great-6 — with the 6 quite honestly getting slashed to pieces here. Remember, the 6 has a better battery life than the 7, so it has other advantages, too, and there's no better time to throw one in your cart than today.

If you're looking to upgrade your tech, there's no better time than Prime Big Deal Days deals. The event takes place on October 8 and 9, giving you access to deals on things throughout Amazon's site. What's better than this two-day sale event? It also pushes Amazon's competitors to crank up their deals efforts, too. (We're seeing great Best Buy Big Deal Days deals at this time and don't want you to miss them.)

Amazon’s cheap deal on this forgotten Apple Watch makes it one to remember
The Apple Watch SE 2 on a man's wrist.

Amazon is offering just about the cheapest way to get a recent Apple Watch on your wrist during its Prime Big Deals Days 2024 promotion, with a model you may have forgotten existed. You can buy a second-generation Apple Watch SE in various colors and with a choice of bands for $170 if you version or $200 if you . If you've wondered what life with an Apple Watch is like, now is the time to find out.

It’s not the latest Apple Watch Series 10 model, but it’s about half its price, and although it doesn't have the same specifications, when that kind of saving is involved, there are some acceptable sacrifices. The second-generation Apple Watch SE was released in 2022, and with several more expensive models launched since then and no replacement from Apple, it has stopped being part of the conversation. However, that's unfair as the SE 2 has an aluminum case, Ion-X protective glass, a nylon composite case back, a heart rate sensor, an OLED screen, and a battery that should last at least a day with normal use.
