Apple Watch deals are starting off strong this Black Friday season — here are the best we’ve seen as of Nov. 14:
Best early Black Friday Apple Watch deals
The biggest shopping holiday of the year may still be about a week and a half away, but the early Black Friday Apple Watch deals are already here.
55+ of the best early Black Friday Apple deals
We know — it feels like these sales start earlier and earlier every year. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when Walmart already kicked off the first of two Black Friday events starts on Nov. 8, Best Buy is running a month-long sale, and Amazon decided Black Friday starts on Nov. 17 this year.
But that’s why we’re here rounding up the absolute best Apple Watch deals you can find. So far, we’ve seen the Series 8 get $100 slashed off its price and retail for just $299 (though we’re hoping to see it hit its record-low $279 again) and the first-generation Ultra get down to just $629. And for the latest releases, the Apple Watch Series 9 is down to a new low of just $349.
Target’s Black Friday sale has started and is running the entire month of November
We’ll regularly update this post with the best deals throughout Black Friday season so you can shop easily and save the most money possible on any and all Apple Watch purchases.
Apple Watch Series 9 deals
Why we like it
Read our full review of the Apple Watch Series 9.
Double tap. Need we say more? If we had to, it would be that it may not be a surefire upgrade for anyone who already has an 8, but for folks with older Apple Watch models this is a pretty decent upgrade. And as of Nov. 8, Walmart has dropped it down $50 as part of one of the retailer’s two Black Friday deals events this month. In classic Amazon fashion, the online retailer price matched Walmart’s deal shortly after it dropped. We wouldn’t be surprised if this is the lowest price this watch hits during the holiday season, so if you want to grab it early, now’s your chance. And if you’re into a bigger display or cellular capabilities — both of those Series 9 models received $50 markdowns, too.

Apple Watch Series 8 deals
Why we like it
It may not come in pink like the Series 9, but feature-wise you’re not getting a vastly different experience with the Series 8 (though we do wish it had double tap). The Series 8 has hit some impressive price lows this holiday shopping season, bottoming out at $225, but at the time of writing, $299 is the absolute lowest price you can get this smartwatch, either in the PRODUCT(RED) or starlight colorways. Though not quite its best deal ever, it’s still better than the $320 range it can hover around.

Apple Watch SE deals
Why we like it
The Apple Watch SE is a great option for those who don’t necessarily need all of the pricey bells and whistles that come with other Apple Watch models. You’ll get all the must-have features you need like health tracking, crash detection, Smart Stack, and emergency SOS options. Also, at $239.99, it costs nearly the same price as the smaller 40mm SE at its full price — and a good $60 less than the Series 8.

Second generation
Apple Watch Ultra deals
Why we like it
The Apple Watch Ultra has an ultra-high price point, but that’s because it truly is built different. Not intended for everyday use, this watch is for those among us who enjoy high-speed water sports or scaling mountains. If you’re into diving, a Depth app will help you track your stats, while all adventurers can explore with ease knowing their watch with a built-in emergency siren has 36 hours of battery life, far surpassing the standard 18 hours of other Apple Watches. With the second gen, you’ll get an ultra-bright 3,000 nit display, as well as Double Tap functionality (which could definitely come in handy if you’re busy scaling a cliff).
