Apple Watch Black Friday deals 2024 in Australia — the best offers are almost here

Black Friday 2024 sales are just around the corner, and while Apple doesn't typically discount its popular products directly, it can be hard to find a bargain on the latest devices, including the coveted Apple Watch.

Based on our experience, it's extremely rare to see Apple's newest smartwatches getting a discount the year they were released, so if you're looking to pick up the Apple Watch 10, you may come up empty-handed.

That said if you're on the hunt to pick up an Apple wearable this Black Friday, November 29, shopping outside of Apple could be the move. If you're not fussed on having the latest and greatest Apple Watch, you may be able to nab the Apple Watch Ultra 2, Apple Watch 9, Apple Watch SE (2022) or Apple Watch 8 for a fraction of the cost by shopping at other retailers.

While we've yet to see some great discounts on Apple smartwatches just yet, we predict that we'll see some stellar discounts in early November. But for now, you can check out the best Apple Watch Black Friday 2023 deals. But be sure to keep this page bookmarked, as we will be around all November long to bring you the best Apple Watch Black Friday deals in 2024.

Best Apple Watch Black Friday deals in 2023

2022 Apple Watch SE (40mm, GPS) | AU$399 AU$348 on Amazon (save AU$51)

This is the cheapest way to get an Apple Watch from last year. This is a record-low price, and the best-value Apple Watch you can buy right now. While the Apple Watch SE lacks many of the bells and whistles found on the Apple Watch 8 or the newer Apple Watch 9, it still packs a fast processor, plus new health and fitness features. Note that this price is only on the 40mm GPS version in the Midnight/Aluminium and the Starlight colourways. The the Silver chassis is a dollar more at AU$349.

2022 Apple Watch SE (40mm, GPS+Cellular) | AU$479 AU$429 on Amazon (save AU$50)

If you want to use the best-value Apple Watch without the paired iPhone, you will need the LTE version, which gets AU$50 shaved off its asking price on Amazon in all three colourways in the 40mm chassis size. You will need to get it connected on a plan by your chosen telco, which will cost you extra each month.

If you want a bigger screen, the 44mm Apple Watch SE 2 with Cellular connectivity gets 9% off, down to AU$479 from AU$529.

Apple Watch 8 (45mm, GPS + Cellular) | AU$1,179 AU$825.30 on Amazon (save AU$353.70)

If you like a bigger screen on your wrist, the 45mm LTE version of the Apple Watch 8 gets over AU$350 sliced off its asking price on Amazon. However, this price is only on two colourways of the stainless steel case – Midnight sports band and the White sports band.

Apple Watch Ultra | AU$1,299 AU$1,199 on Amazon (save AU$100)

The Apple Watch Ultra had dropped to AU$999 for start of the Black Friday sale week, but it now back up to AU$1,199, saving you AU$100. It may only be 8% off but it's still a discount if you missed out on the earlier offer on this remarkably powerful smartwatch.

Apple Watch Black Friday deals: FAQs

When do Apple Watch Black Friday deals start?

While Black Friday deals will officially kick off on Friday, November 29 until the end of Monday, December 2, several retailers will start their deals earlier. Keep an eye open from mid-November though, as you'll likely see Apple Watches, particularly Series 8, Series 9 and the Apple Watch SE, get discounts across different retailers.

What Apple Watch Black Friday deals can we expect?

Apple isn't known for offering discounts on its products in Australia when shopping directly, but you could score a bonus gift card if you're willing to pay full price during Black Friday. You could use that to pick up different bands for your new Watch.

However, keep an eye on retailer sites, particularly Amazon. While you likely won't see the new Apple Watch 10 discounted, the older models are definitely going to get price drops, but only select colourways in the different sizes.

JB Hi-Fi is also known to drop Apple Watch prices during Black Friday, which means The Good Guys will price match or even price beat!
