Apple Watches are almost always on sale, but Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales offer the best prices for them. We still love the 7 Series, which should be heavily discounted this shopping season, but we also love the new (and recently discounted) 8 Series and SE models for anyone looking for the latest tech Recommend. We're also seeing small price drops on the coveted Ultra.
It's not a huge jump in specs, so it's best if you're upgrading from an older watch (Series 4 and earlier) or a first-time Apple Watch user. 45mm visor, with sport band in S/M or M/L sizes.
Other things to know: Minimal updates since the first generation. It lacks the always-on display and some of the Series 8's health features.
Liked By Users: More affordable than our top pick, the Apple Watch Series 7. Great display and good battery life. An attractive choice for a first smartwatch or if you only want it for a few functions.
Other things to know: It lacks the Series 7's always-on display and some health features. Available in three colors and an aluminum case.
Liked By Users: The titanium case should avoid cracks. Long-life battery. The largest screen of any Apple Watch. The action button launches applications quickly.
Other things to know: Flat edge screen. Siren function for search and rescue. The size can be exorbitant - a hefty price tag.
Liked By Users: Our favorite faux leather Apple Watch band. Manufactured from cruelty-free vegan leather. Wax coated and shaded for optimum scratch and water resistance.
Other Things to Know: Odd deal. Available in thousands (!) of designs. Use code BLACKFRI22. The price includes shipping.
