Early Black Friday sales are now in full swing. As we breeze through November, the demand for Apple Watch Black Friday deals is rapidly increasing. In particular, we’re seeing epic savings on Apple smartwatches grab headlines, and this deal at Walmart is currently the one to beat.
Right now, the Apple Watch SE (40mm/GPS) is on sale for $199 at Walmart. That’s a $79 savings compared to its usual price of $279. This heavily discounted price is available on the wearable in multiple colors including Space Gray, Silver and Rose Gold. This isn’t quite an all-time low price, but it’s only $10 more than the lowest price we’ve ever spotted.
We consider the Apple Watch SE one of the best smartwatches you can buy for a load of reasons but primarily it’s because of the device’s combination of affordability, Apple’s trademark slick design and a wealth of useful features. Plus, we love the huge library of supported apps, the large display and the zippy performance.
It’s essentially a hybrid of the Apple Watch Series 5 and Apple Watch Series 4, and while it does lack many of the latest upgrades you’ll find on the new flagship Apple Watch Series 8, the Apple Watch SE is still a worthwhile purchase for newcomers to the world of wearables.
As we noted in our Apple Watch SE review, Apple’s first-generation entry-level wearable is an extremely well-rounded device. As you might expect its cheaper price tag compared to its more full-featured siblings hasn’t led to some sacrifices — you don’t get ECG and Blood Oxygen monitoring — but it remains the ideal pick for first-time smartwatch buyers and can still hold its own more than two years after its initial launch.
