I'm tracking the best Black Friday Apple Watch deals LIVE: huge discounts on the Apple Watch 10, SE and Ultra 2 right now

The second-generation Apple Watch SE is the best budget Apple Watch, with many of the range's most useful features thanks to a recent upgrade to watchOS 11. It has the same battery life and water resistance as the flagship Apple Watch 10, though without the newer watch's sleep apnea notifications. It's great value at the best of times, and an even better deal with this $100 discount. This deal applies to the Starlight model, but there are savings of varying amounts on most colors.

The Apple Watch SE (2022) is also available in a larger size (44mm). It's functionally the same as the smaller version, but the screen is 4mm larger and the watch is 5 grams heavier. Due to the larger display, it retails for more than the 40mm edition, but this price brings it down to less than $200 — a rare discount you don't want to miss.

The Apple Watch Series 10 is only two months old and, incredibly, it's already on sale for $70 less — a pretty impressive 18% discount. It runs the latest watchOS 11 software, can help detect sleep apnea, and includes a host of new fitness metrics, including great tools to prevent overtraining. And in our Apple Watch Series 10 review, Kate Kozuch said that "the Apple Watch Series 10 exceeded my expectations" and that it hits the "sweet spot for a flagship [watch]."

The larger Series 10 watch is also $70 off right now at Amazon. You get 4mm more on the case, and the watch is 6 grams heavier, but otherwise it's the same experience on both models, so which you choose will depend on the version that suits your wrist best.

It may only be available in two colors and a single size (49mm) but this is the Apple Watch designed for the outdoors. It has all the same tools and features as the Series 10, but also comes with an emergency siren, support for scuba diving sessions, and dual-band GPS for improved location tracking. Oh, and it can last up to 36 hours, double the Series 10's 18-hour battery.

The Series 9 may be so last year, but you can upgrade it to watchOS 11 and get many of the same features currently available on the Series 10. The main difference is that the Series 9 is only available with a stainless steel body (versus the 10's titanium design) and it doesn't have a water temperature sensor. Otherwise, it's a pretty close match for $50 less than the Series 10's Black Friday price.

This U.K. discount at John Lewis is not as steep as the price drop in the U.S. but it is still £20 off the smartwatch Apple only shipped two months ago. Plus, John Lewis' price promise means it'll match other retailers up to 7 days after you buy the watch, offering you a refund for the difference.

John Lewis also has the second-generation SE in 40mm on sale, down £20 on the regular price, saving you almost 10% on Apple's already budget-friendly smartwatch. This discount applies to all three editions John Lewis stocks; Starlight, Denim and Midnight. And if you buy an additional strap for your new watch at the same time, add the code 'APPLESTRAP' at checkout for £5 off.
