Apple Watch deals are off to a strong start this Black Friday season — here’s the best we’ve seen as of November 14:
The best early Black Friday Apple Watch deals
The biggest shopping holiday of the year may be about a week and a half away, but early Black Friday deals on the Apple Watch are here.
55+ of the best early Apple Black Friday deals
We know – it feels like these sales start earlier every year. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when Walmart has already launched the first of two Black Friday events starting on November 8th, Best Buy is running a month-long sale, and Amazon has decided that Black Friday starts on November 17th this year.
But that’s why we’re here to round up the best Apple Watch deals you can find. So far, we’ve seen the Series 8 price drop by $100 and retail for just $299 (although we’re hoping it will hit its all-time low of $279 again), and the first-gen Ultra will drop to just $629. And for the latest releases, the Apple Watch Series 9 has dropped to a new low of just $349.
Target’s Black Friday sale has begun and continues throughout the month of November
We’ll be regularly updating this post with the best deals during the Black Friday season so you can shop easily and save as much money as possible on all your Apple Watch purchases.
Apple Watch Series 9 Deals
Why we like it

Double tap. Need we say more? If it had to, it might not be a safe upgrade for anyone who already has an 8, but for people with older Apple Watch models, it’s a pretty decent upgrade. And as of Nov. 8, Walmart has marked it down by $50 as part of one of the retailer’s two Black Friday events this month. In classic Amazon fashion, the online retailer’s price matched Walmart’s deal shortly after the dip. We wouldn’t be surprised if this is the lowest price this watch reaches this holiday season, so if you’re looking to grab it early, now’s your chance. And if you want a bigger display or cellular capabilities – both Series 9 models also received a $50 discount.

Apple Watch Series 8 Deals
Why we like it
It might not be as pink as the Series 9, but in terms of features, you don’t get a very different experience with the Series 8 (although we do wish it had dual-tap). The Series 8 hit some impressive low prices this holiday shopping season, hitting a low of $225, but at the time of writing, $299 is the absolute lowest price you can get this smartwatch for, either in PRODUCT (RED) or star colors. While not the 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 the expensive 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. Plus, at $239.99, it’s about the same price as the smaller 40mm SE at 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 extremely high price tag, but that’s because it really is different. Not meant for everyday use, this watch is for those of us who enjoy high-speed water sports or mountain climbing. If you like to dive, the Depth app will help you keep track of 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 exceeding the standard 18 hours on other Apple watches watches. With the second generation, you’ll get an ultra-bright 3,000-nit display, as well as a Double Tap feature (which can definitely come in handy if you’re busy climbing a rock).
