Black Friday Apple Watch deals — the best sales right now
The best Apple Watch Black Friday sales from Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy
The Apple Watch is one of the most sought after devices during the holidays. However, you don't have to wait for Thanksgiving Day to score Black Friday Apple Watch deals. Retailers from Amazon to Walmart are offering epic Apple Watch deals on some of the best Apple Watches we've tested.
If you want the best deal today, you can get the Apple Watch 10 (GPS/42mm) on sale for $349 at Amazon. I expected it to hit $349 on Black Friday proper, so it's amazing to see it hit this price point ahead of Thanksgiving. This is hands-down the best Apple Watch deal you'll find right now. Is there a chance it'll get cheaper on November 29? I doubt it. You might see it for $5 or $10 less, but this is the deal I would buy.
Meanwhile, if you're looking for a budget Apple Watch, Amazon has the Apple Watch SE (2022) on sale for $189. That's just $20 shy of it's all-time price low and the cheapest Apple Watch you'll find right now. (Personally, I think it'll get cheaper as we inch closer to Thanksgiving). You'll also find Black Friday Apple Watch deals on the Apple Watch Ultra 2 now on sale for $699 at Amazon. That's $10 shy of its all-time price low.
Whether you're an Apple Watch newbie or looking to upgrade from your current model, below are the best Apple Watch deals you can shop right now. Make sure to bookmark this page as I update it frequently with the latest deals.

There are also GPS/Cellular models from $499. In our Apple Watch 10 review we said the optimized watchOS 11 experience and faster charging are worthwhile and make this the Apple Watch to get for most people. Note: It's on sale now, but I expect its price to drop to at least $349 in the coming days.
Need a bigger size? The 46mm model is on sale for $379, which is the cheapest price I've seen for it all month. This is the price we expected to see on Black Friday proper, so there's no need to wait.

When do Apple Watch Black Friday deals start?
This year's Black Friday Apple Watch deals have already started, and we'd expect the discounts to continue all month long through December. It's worth noting that we expect to see more deals once the Apple Store announces its annual Black Friday sale. Last year, Apple offered a $50 gift card when with the purchase of select Apple Watches, which we expect to see again in late November.
Black Friday Apple Watch deals: What to expect
We predict all current-gen Apple Watches will receive price cuts this holiday season. There's a chance the Apple Watch SE (2022) could dip below $169, which would be a new all-time price low for Apple's budget smartwatch. Meanwhile, the Apple Watch 10 is already $50 off. There's a small chance it could get cheaper in the days to come, but we don't think it'll be significantly cheaper. If you're looking for deals on the Apple Watch 9, sales may be harder to find as stock is low.
