The brand new flagship from Apple OS: watchOS 7 | Compatibility: iOS | Display: 40mm - 44mm always-on | Processor: S6 dual-core | Onboard storage: 32GB | Battery: 18 hours | Charging method: Wireless | IP rating: IPX7 | Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS New color variants New health
sensors 20% faster than Series 6 Fairly iterative design

The latest Apple Watch, the Series 6, debuted in September of 2020 with an introductory price of $399 / 379 - the same baseline costs as the 2019 Series 5.

The feature-rich Apple Watch 6 comes with a few key upgrades over last year's Series 5 - namely a new blood oxygen monitor (with accompanying app) and a brand new S6 dual-core processor, which Apple claims is 20% faster than last year's model. Aside from these key upgrades, the always-on display is back, but it's been drastically improved with some neat new controls for notifications, allowing you to interact without fully waking up the watch.



You're also getting the latest watchOS 7 as standard with both of the new Apple Watches, which is bringing a few new fitness features, and a unique family sharing app that allows activities to be tracked across groups.

A new mid-tier option from Apple OS: watchOS 7 | Compatibility: iOS |
Display: 40mm - 44mm | Processor: S5 dual-core | Onboard storage: 32GB | Battery: 18 hours | Charging method: Wireless | IP rating: IPX7 | Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS New watchOS7 Affordable Fairly powerful No new sensors

The Apple Watch SE is the other release from Apple last year as a more affordable alternative to the Series 6, coming in at a starting price of $279 / 269.

New key features include the latest watchOS 7, which will enable this device to access many of the new upgrades the more expensive Series 6 is rocking,
but at a more affordable price point. Internally you're also getting the same altimeter, gyroscope, and accelerometer as the Series 6 - enough for all the main fitness apps, but you're missing out on the brand new blood oxygen monitor.

All in all, this watch is definitely more stripped down than the fancier Series 6, but considering you're getting roughly the same amount of power on tap as the Series 5 at a lower price point and the new watchOS 7 - it's excellent value and one of our favorite Apple Watch deals.

Rare discounts on an excellent smartwatch OS: watchOS 6 | Compatibility: iOS
| Display: 40mm and 44mm OLED | Processor: S5 dual-core | Onboard storage: 32GB | Battery: 18 hours | Charging method: Wireless | IP rating: IPX7 | Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS Always-on retina display Made of
100% recycled aluminum New location features

The Apple Watch 5 was released in 2019 with a starting price of $399 / 399 / AU$649 for the 40mm size and cost $429 / 429 / AU$699 for the larger 44mm size.



The Series 5 smartwatch now features an Always-on Retina display - fixing one of the users' biggest frustrations with the previous models. The dimmed display will now display your current watch face at all times, lighting up when the watch detects the same wrist motion that would previously trigger
the screen to wake. It also includes new location features like a built-in compass and an updated Map app.

On release, many users started reporting a decrease in battery life quality
in the Series 5, an issue that didn't seem to improve by switching off the always-on display. This has since been resolved with the release of watchOS 6.1, suggesting that the battery-saving features of the always-on display weren't the issue at fault.

Thanks to the Apple Watch 6 and SE release, it's difficult to find Apple
Watch deals on the Series 5, so if you see the smartwatch on sale, then we recommend taking advantage before it's too late. Apple Watch 3 deals

A great watch at a lower price OS: watchOS 6 | Compatibility: iOS | Display: 1.65" OLED | Processor: S3 dual-core | Onboard storage: 8GB | Battery: 18 hours | Charging method: Wireless | IP rating: IPX7 | Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS Cellular Altimeter Cellular options Music streaming with cellular Good value for money LTE isn't good value Battery life needs to be longer

While the Apple Watch 3 was released back in 2017, it still remains a
top-tier device in terms of fitness and longevity, with run and cycle
tracking onboard and a water-resistant casing for swimming, plus the heart rate monitor on the underside. And the LTE version comes with cellular connectivity so you can use it independently from your phone.

You will be losing some of the design benefits of the newer models by opting for this cheaper Apple Watch price. The smaller screen and case size doesn't hold you back, but there's a much nicer option on the market with the latest chassis designs. The watch itself is slightly thicker and runs on an older processor that won't have you blitzing through apps quite as quickly.

Nevertheless, the Apple Watch 3 still stands as a strong smartwatch solution, especially if you're looking for something cheaper to use for fitness or
music only. It's far more affordable than the later models while still offering the latest software, and, thanks to Apple's continued support, it's generally found at most retailers. Essentially, Apple Watch deals will center around this essential feature set that offers amazing value for money.

Apple's hardware often comes with a high price tag, and the Apple Watch doesn't fall far from the tree. That said, if you're looking for a smartwatch to work with your iPhone no other brand comes close to offering the functionality of Apple's own timepiece. While the Apple Watch price is still higher than many other brands, you're paying for integration with a massive number of apps you're already using on your iPhone. Plus, with all the Apple Watch deals happening and the recent software updates to older models, you
can easily grab a great bargain. Apple Watch band/strap deals

Bands are not one-size-fits-all-budgets Wide variety of sizes, colors and prices Incredibly easy to slide onto your Watch Can't use normal watch straps Official Apple Watch bands are pricey

Your Apple Watch literally isnt complete without the best deals on Apple
Watch bands. They make the geeky smartwatch stylish enough to show off to
late adopters.

In fact, youre going to want multiple cheap Apple Watch straps simply because more elegant bands are far from ideal for the gym. Vice versa, Sport Bands dont cut it at the fancy dinner table.

Everyday in the news, we see new cheap Apple Watch bands trying to become the de facto alternative to the more expensive, official Apple Watch bands, and theyre usually just as good. Trust us, buying a trio of third-party,
lookalike Apple Watch bands for the price of one official strap is a relief after paying so much for the smartwatch itself. Straps in the US starting at $5 .99 Straps in the UK starting at 4.98 Straps in Australia starting at
AU$4 .89 Don't know which watch to buy? Read our best Apple Watch guide You can also see the best smartwatch prices and deals that are happening now.
