Amazon's October Prime Day (officially known as the Big Deals Days) will run across October 8-9, but we're already seeing plenty of huge discounts on many of the best Apple Watches ahead of the main event.
Right now, you can pick up the Apple Watch 10 for $376 at Amazon, saving you over $20 on Apple's latest smartwatch. Or, pick up the Apple Watch 9 for just $329 at Amazon, saving you $100 on the regular price. With the release of watchOS 11, you get many of the Watch 10's features on the Series 9.
Meanwhile, the rugged Apple Watch Ultra 2 is down to $734 at Amazon, so you can pick up the brand's rugged outdoors watch at a rare discount that brings the Ultra 2 down to its lowest-ever price.
But there are plenty of savings to be found on a range of Apple Watches, including the Wi-Fi and cellular models, and different colors and bands. So, we've rounded the best discounts to help you get a new smartwatch without breaking the bank. And for rolling coverage of the latest deals be sure to check out our Prime Day live blog.

FAQs
When does Prime Day start?
Amazon Prime Day 2024 takes place across October 8 and 9, 2024. Although technically called Amazon Big Deals Days, it's the second Prime Day following the retailer's summer sale in July.
However, we're seeing deals go live even before the official start date, so if you're looking to save on some of the latest Apple Watches, then don't delay as some deals may only last up to a couple of hours.
Are Apple Watches on sale for Prime Day?
Apple recently launched the Apple Watch 10, the latest version of its popular smartwatch, which is already discounted just a few weeks after launch. So we also expect to see plenty of deals on older models, including the Series 9 and SE (2022) in our roundup above.
But all models back to the Apple Watch 6 will receive watchOS 11, which brings the latest software and features. You'll need the Series 9, Series 10 or Ultra 2 if you want the new sleep apnea feature though.
However, if you're happy to forgo some of these exclusive features, Prime Day is a great time to pick up an Apple Watch at a discount and save yourself money on these health and fitness monitoring wearables.
Are things really cheaper on Prime Day?
Amazon's product pricing isn't always clear, so it can be difficult to work out whether the Apple Watch is really cheaper on Prime Day. A good rule of thumb is to check the price against Apple's listings.
Apple doesn't often discount the watch on its own store, so you can check Amazon's prices against the MSRP; Apple Watch SE (from $249), Apple Watch Series 10 (from $399) and Apple Watch Ultra 2 (from $799).
The price will vary depending on the configuration you choose (Wi-Fi vs cellular, strap size, color, strap type), but this is a good indicator. Often, the prices on Amazon are lower than the MSRP, but that doesn't always mean its a good deal.
Amazon often sells the Apple Watch below the MSRP anyway, so what looks like a deal may be the regular price. You can use tools like CamelCamelCamel to check historic prices and see if its really on sale.
However, we also do this before we list any deals or discounts on our roundups to make it easier for you to filter the Prime Day sales and find an Apple Watch on sale that's truly worth your money.
