Buying a brand-new Apple Watch means getting tons of new high-tech features, helpful health data and extra storage space for your favorite apps.

Owning an Apple Watch means having tons of high-tech features at your fingertips, including your iPhone notifications, helpful health data, and even contactless payment. But buying a brand-new device to upgrade your smartwatch often comes with an expensive price tag. If you know the right places to look, you can often find discounts on Apple Watches—and I've rounded up some of the best Apple Watch deals happening right now.

I've outlined all our favorites to help you navigate the Apple Watch lineup, plus the best sales worth shopping to help you choose the right Apple Watch for you (and save the most money in the process). One of the best fitness smartwatch for women, the Apple Watch Series 8 on Amazon is 18% off, down to $329. Our testers appreciated its user-friendly design and in-depth health monitoring features. You can also shop the Apple Watch Series 7 for 43% off to save even more—it has many of the high-tech features of the Series 8, like GPS and cellular capabilities.

While the Apple Watch Series 7 and 8 are loaded with the latest and greatest features, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention the Apple Watch SE (1st Generation) is now just $149 at Walmart, the lowest price it's ever been. It's a budget-friendly option if you've been waiting to break into the world of wearables (we'll detail the features for you below).

Watch SE 1st Generation (GPS, 40mm)

The $149 price tag on the Apple Watch SE (1st Gen) makes it the most affordable wearable from Apple. Introduced in 2020, the first-generation SE is most similar to the Apple Watch Series 6 (without a few features) on this list of deals and can track fitness activities, alert you to notifications, and monitor your heart rate. With your iPhone nearby you're still able to answer calls and texts, and the watch features a built-in GPS. It also has built-in fall detection and emergency SOS for added safety right on your wrist.

Watch Series 7 (GPS+Cellular, 45mm)

The on-sale model for the Series 7 features cellular connectivity, so if you connect it to your phone provider's data plan, you can access calls, texts and internet services without your phone nearby. It features many of the same tech specs as the Series 8, like sleep tracking, a heart rate monitor, ECG capability, blood oxygen monitor and activity tracking. The 45mm screen is a slightly larger display than previous models. The wearable is $320 off in this limited-time sale.

Watch Series 8 (GPS, 41mm)

As the latest Apple Watch, the Series 8 offers the most advanced features and capabilities among those on this list. It has a longer battery life and charges faster than older models, allowing you to wear it for extended periods of time. One of its most noteworthy new features includes temperature tracking, which can provide insights into your menstrual cycle and ovulation estimates. (Note that to use this feature, you'll need to wear your watch while you sleep.) Pros enjoy its intuitive interface, helpful fitness monitoring, and more. The 45mm GPS model is also on sale for $359 if you're looking for a bigger screen.

Watch Series 8 (GPS+Cellular, 41mm)

If you'd like to make phone calls from your watch without a phone handy or a Wi-Fi connection, you'll need to buy an Apple Watch that can connect to cellular. The Apple Watch Series 8 GPS + Cellular model comes at a slightly higher cost because of this capability, but it's currently on sale for 14% off at Amazon. Like the GPS-only Series 8, this watch can track your temperature, monitor your health metrics, provide sleep data and more.

Apple Watch SE 2nd Generation (GPS, 44mm)

If you're looking to upgrade to an Apple Watch but don't need the most advanced features, I recommend the Apple Watch SE. This entry-level smartwatch connects to your iPhone just like more expensive versions, allowing you to stay on top of texts and notifications without picking up your phone. It also has built-in GPS and activity tracking, so you can monitor your workouts and reach fitness goals. While it doesn't offer temperature monitors or sleep tracking, it has crash detection, fall detection, and emergency SOS. Plus, you can shop the most recent version of the Apple Watch SE for $60 off thanks to a limited-time Amazon promotion.
