John Lewis: Discounts on new and older Apple Watches What Black Friday Apple Watch deals do we expect to see in 2023?

Last year, we got some decent discounts on the then-new Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch SE 2, so expect to see some small price cuts on this years brand-new Apple Watch Series 9. There werent many discounts on the Apple
Watch Ultra worth shouting about, so dont expect much on the Apple Watch
Ultra 2.

Instead, were excited to see more significant cuts on the Series 8, as prices are slashed so retailers can get rid of their older stock. With the Series 9 being so similar to the 8 in so many ways, this is the watch to, well, watch out for if youre looking for lower prices on a flagship Apple device. Last year's deals

Below, you can find a selection of example deals from last year. Note there are no live links, as all these deals have now ended.

Apple Watch SE (2022, LTE): Free (with contract) was $299

If you were planning on buying a connected Apple Watch to go with your phone, AT&T will give you a second Watch, an Apple Watch SE, for free. You need to connect both watches to the network and pay for them on an installment plan, but even if you quit early you've still saved a bundle. You can reduce the price further with a trade in, as well.

Apple Watch SE (1st Gen): was $279.00 now $199 at Walmart
The original SE isn't as good as the Series 8, Ultra, or the updated SE from a hardware point of view, but there's still a lot to love here for $80. With
a recycled aluminum case, it's swim-proof, great for hiking with real-time compass and elevation readings, and allows you to take calls and answer messages from your wrist.

Apple Watch SE (1st Gen, GPS + Cellular): $309 $229 at Walmart

Save $80 The budget-friendly Apple Watch SE still enjoys a discounted price at Walmart. The design is very similar to the more premium Apple
smartwatches, but it has a smaller screen and doesn't feature the same always-on function. This is also the older first-generation model, but it still comes with all key health and fitness tracking features, such as heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking and GPS. At this price, it's a solid affordable option for most users.

Apple Watch Series 7: was $499 now $339 at Best Buy
