Best Apple Watch deals this month

Macworld

The Apple Watch is the best smartwatch on the market for many, offering a high-quality smartwatch experience, but it’s not cheap—starting at $399/£399 for the Apple Watch Series 10. However, you don’t have to pay full price for an Apple Watch. Right now resellers are offering some fantastic deals on the Apple Watch.

The deals are likely to get even better as resellers look to clear out stock of older watch models that Apple has stopped selling since introducing the latest models at its September iPhone event. If it doesn’t have to be the latest Apple Watch, you could see some good savings by plumping for the Series 9 or another discontinued model. Another way to save money is to find a deal that bundles an Apple Watch with another device.

In this article, we share the best Apple Watch deals you can get right now so you don’t have to pay full price. But if you’re trying to choose the right Apple Watch model for you, take a look at our Best Apple Watch buying guide.

Best Apple Watch deals

The Apple Watch Series 10 arrived in September 2024. It’s going to be a while until we start to see discounts, but when we do, you’ll find them here.

The arrival of the Series 10 marks the end of the Apple Watch Series 9, which Apple discontinued. Despite that, it is likely to remain on sale from resellers for some time–and you could take advantage of some decent discounts. The Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Ultra 2 haven’t been updated.

We are yet to see the Apple Watch Series 10 discounted, but we’re seeing moderate savings across the rest of the range: nothing spectacular, but well worth having. Note that we tend to prefer John Lewis where prices are equal because of its two-year warranties, but the company’s deals below are matched by Amazon and other retailers–see the price comparison tools below.

Argos, Apple Watch Series 9 (41mm): £299 (RRP was £399 – DISCONTINUED)

Best refurbished Apple Watch deals

One of the best places to look for Apple Watch deals all year round is the Apple Refurbished Store. There, you’ll find huge Apple Watch discounts, sometimes even on the latest models. These Apple Watches have been returned to Apple for various reasons, and then completely revamped for resale. One of the major benefits of buying a refurbished Watch from Apple is that it will come with a one-year warranty so Apple may fix or replace it for free should anything happen to it in that first year.

In the U.S. you can get an Apple Watch Series 9, either generation of Ultra, or the SE for less than full price. You can, for example, save $120 on a refurbished 2nd-gen Apple Watch Ultra.

In the U.K. you can save money on an Apple Watch Series 7, 8, or 9, either generation of Ultra, or the Apple Watch SE. For instance, you can save up to £100 on a refurbished Apple Watch 9.
