I’ve been writing about Apple Watches for years, and I’ve collected some of the best Black Friday Apple Watch deals on the internet. Apple Watches are terrific buys for everyone with iPhones, whether you’re a fitness fanatic after an Ultra or you’re looking to buy an Apple Watch SE as a gift. I’ve found deals on every modern model, from Apple Watch Series 11, SE3 and Ultra 3 to last year’s Series 10 and SE 2, and I’ve been updating them all through Black Friday week.
The cheapest? In the US, the last few Apple Watch SE 2s (40mm) are available for $129 at Walmart. You can also grab a record-low price on this year’s Apple Watch SE 3, starting at a discount of $199 (was $249) at Amazon for the 40mm model, with a $50 discount on the 44mm model and LTE capable versions too.

Which Apple Watch should I buy?
It can be surprisingly complicated to buy an Apple Watch, due to the variations of models, sizes and the differences in materials and functionalities.
To start with, if you want a cheap Apple Watch, the Apple Watch SE 3 is the best one to get. It’s new, so it’ll be supported with regular software updates for a long time to come, does almost everything the others do, and is a lot cheaper.
If you want the biggest and best with the longest battery life (for example, if you work out a lot or frequently take overnight trips without a charger to hand) get the Apple Watch Ultra 3 or Apple Watch Ultra 2. The 3 has a battery life that lasts a bit longer (42 hours compared to 36 and a few other useful tools like emergency satellite messaging, which is handy if you get lost in the wild, but the 2 will probably do for most.
If you want something in between, an Apple Watch with bigger screen and better materials than the SE 3, but you don’t want to overpay, get the Apple Watch Series 11 or Series 10.
Lastly, consider if you want to add the watch to your phone’s data plan, so you can message, call or use the internet without having your phone nearby. This is a very useful feature, but costs extra.
