Preorder Apple Watch Series 10 and Ultra 2: best deals so far

Apple Watch Series 10 debut.

We will continue to update this page as new offers become available.

Apple announced a lot of great stuff at the Glowtime keynote, and one of the biggest is the new Watch Series 10 with a ton of upgraded features, including a larger display, which is, in fact, the largest display on an Apple Watch so far. It’s also a wide-angle OLED, so you can see it at steeper angles than before, which makes using it a lot easier. Plus the 40% increase in max brightness means you aren’t going to go running for shade every time you want to check it. It can also charge an incredible 80% battery after only half an hour of charging, which solves one of the bigger issues with smartwatches for those who want to use them to track their health and fitness.

Along with the new Watch Series 10, a new color for the Watch Ultra 2 was announced: Satin Black Titanium. No other changes have been made to the Ultra 2 in terms of specs, so it’s mostly just the new case color that you can snag if you’re interested.

While we’re still waiting for pre-orders from the main retailers to come in, if you’re looking to grab yourself a pre-order right now, we’ve listed all your options below.

As you can imagine, with Apple just announcing the new Watch Series 10, the best preorder offers you’ll find are from Apple. The starting price is $399 for the standard Aluminium with GPS or up to $799 if you buy the Titanium case with GPS + Cellular in the 46mm size. You can also get between $50 and $365 in trade-in value, although the higher end of that is mostly going to be for the newer Apple Watches that are in pristine condition. Sadly, there is no way to get it down to zero, but you can knock off quite a substantial amount of that with the trade-in.

AT&T’s Apple Watch Series 10 preorder deals

While AT&T doesn’t offer any direct discounts on the Apple Watch Series 10, it does offer a deal that gives you $300 in bill credits over 36 months if you purchase two Watch Series 10 when checking out. This deal applies to any plan, so you don’t need any specific AT&T plans to take advantage of this deal.

T-Mobile also offers a similar deal where you get $300 bill credits over 24 months when purchasing two Watch Series 10 watches when checking out.

Verizon’s Apple Watch Series 10 preorder deals

Verizon doesn’t offer any bill credits, but it does offer a trade-in program that will let you get up to $180 in trade-in credit for your older device. Just be aware that the trade-in doesn’t apply to all smartwatches, although Verizon does cover most Samsung and Apple watches, as well as the two Pixel watches. You can also save an additional $120 if you purchase a 5G Apple iPhone with any plan when you purchase the Watch Series 10.
