Editor's Tip: Amazon tends to offer the best Apple Watch deals of all the retailers. However, the deals change rapidly and vary based on size/color and connectivity. Your best bet is to check the Apple Watch/Amazon homepage, which lists every model of the Apple Watch (along with any price drops). Remember to click through the model you want because at times Amazon will offer hidden coupons/discounts that you can only see via the product page. Active promos will be applied during the final checkout stage.

Apple Watch Series 10 deals

Apple's new flagship

Display: 42mm and 46mm OLED Retina | Processor: S10 dual-core | Onboard storage: 32GB | Battery: 18 hours | OS: watchOS 11 | Water resistant: Yes | Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, and LTE (optional)

Wide-angle OLED display
10% lighter
Sleep apnea detection
Same 18-hour battery life

The Apple Watch 10 offers a thinner/lighter design with bigger OLED displays for an improved new feel on your wrist. In terms of new features, Apple's new watch includes Sleep apnea detection, faster charging, and a stellar color selection. The Apple Watch 10 also has a new speaker and mic system. They work by improving call quality through voice isolation and letting you play music out loud through the built-in Apple Watch speaker.

Unfortunately, the Series 10 has the same 18-hour battery life found in its predecessor, but at least you'll get faster charging. Additionally, the Blood Oxygen app remains disabled due to an import ban that says Apple infringed on a SpO2 sensor patent owned by health tech company Masimo.

That said, in our Apple Watch 10 review we called it the Apple Watch to get if you're in need of a new smartwatch.

Apple Watch Series 9

Apple Watch Series 9 deals

Apple's new flagship

Display: 41mm and 45mm OLED Retina | Processor: S9 dual-core | Onboard storage: 32GB | Battery: 18 hours | OS: watchOS 10 | Water resistant: Yes | Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, and LTE (optional)

Larger display
Comes with USB-C magnetic charger
Same 18-hour battery life

The Apple Watch 9 is the best smartwatch on the market. The internal upgrades make a difference, the double tap gesture is super handy, and no one should take for granted the environmental statement this year's family of Apple Watch devices make. In our Apple Watch 9 review, we said it's not a noteworthy upgrade if you have a Series 7 or Series 8, but if this is your first Apple Watch or if you're upgrade from a much older model, the Series 9 is as future-proof as you can get.

In terms of deals, the Apple Watch 9's price plummeted to $329 over the holiday season. That remains its lowest price to date. However, it can be frequently found on sale for $349 at major retailers like Amazon and Best Buy. As with most Apple Watch deals, we recommend checking different colors and sizes to see which model has the lowest price on any given day.

Apple Watch SE (2022) deals

Apple's budget smartwatch

Display: 40mm and 44mm OLED Retina | Processor: S8 dual-core | Onboard storage: 16GB | Battery: 18 hours | OS: watchOS 9 | Water resistant: Yes | Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, and LTE (optional)

New, lower price
Same chipset as Apple Watch 8
No always-on display

The Apple Watch SE (2022) is Apple's new mid-tier watch. It packs the same chipset found in the Apple Watch Series 8, but for a lower price. Priced at $249, it's even $30 cheaper than the previous-gen Apple Watch SE. In our Apple Watch SE 2022 review, we called it the best Apple Watch value you'll find.

In terms of design, the new Apple Watch SE (2022) looks like a resurrected Apple Watch Series 4, with thicker bezels than those on the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Series 7. The the bottom casing is now made of nylon composite materials that are color-matched to the bezel. You can't see it when it's on your wrist, but it's a subtle change that we like. Performance-wise, it's noticeably more sharp the original original Apple Watch SE's since it went from using theS5 chipset to the S8 chipset.

In terms of Apple Watch SE deals — Amazon is already offering a modest $10 discount on the larger 44mm Apple Watch SE 2022 model.
