Whether it's logging your workout, measuring health stats or creating healthier habits (we could all use a good night's sleep these days!) an Apple Watch can help keep you on track. But the devices don't come cheap and rarely go on sale, which is why our shopping editors are constantly looking for online Apple Watch deals. This month, our search uncovered three Apple Watches on sale for up to 25% off.
With Prime Day nearing on July 16-17 (and Walmart hosting a competing sale), our editors are forecasting some Black Friday-level Apple deals over the next few weeks. As Amazon and other retailers vie for customers' attention, we expect that shoppers will have their pick of the best Apple Watch deals this year.
The Best Apple Watch Deals of 2024
Named by the Good Housekeeping Institute as the best smartwatch for iPhone users, the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) is down to $200. It's a no-frills option that rings in at an affordable price compared to other Apple Watches.
It features standard activity tracking for monitoring workouts and fitness goals, as well as Emergency SOS and Fall and Crash Detection. Tap into its built-in GPS navigation through your cellular data plan. Those looking for a larger screen size can also scoop the 44mm model for 22% off.
Shopping for the latest tech? Considered one of the brand's most innovative, the Apple Watch Series 9 is $100 off. Its S9 chip introduces "Double Tap" technology, meaning you can simply gesture to control your watch. Answer calls, or turn off alarms by tapping your pointer finger and thumbs together.
The wearable also includes the standard bevy of health tracking features on all Apple Watches and the body temperature sensor introduced with the Series 8. It boasts an up to 18-hour battery life and a screen with twice the brightness, too.
Those who are a little less careful with their watches may appreciate the Apple Watch Ultra 2 for its rugged titanium construction and edge protection. It also features a larger watch face and buttons for faster access to desired screens. Not to mention, the Ultra 2 is usually an investment, which is why we're thrilled to see it nearly $100 off.
This watch is also souped up with new features like enhanced GPS for hiking and running and a customizable Wayfinder display. The brand claims it has a longer battery life (up to 36 hours or up to 72 hours in low-power mode).
The Best Apple Watch Band and Accessory Deals of 2024
If you buy an Apple Watch, you'll probably end up wearing it all day (and night, if you're tracking your sleep), so it makes sense to snag some accessories to keep it in good condition and comfortable on your wrist. Luckily, a handful of Apple Watch bands are on sale, plus charging accessories for easier battery boosting on the go.
