If you want a new smartwatch, the Apple Watch is an option that you'd do well to consider, especially if you want to pair one with youriPhone or iPad. There is no shortage of different models of the Apple Watch these days, all designed to suit different budgets and needs. From relatively inexpensive options like the SE to the new higher-end models like Apple Watch Series 9, there's likely one that's perfect for you. But just like many of Apple products, these watches come at a hefty cost.
Thankfully, many models from the Apple Watch lineup can be found on sale right now, including the coveted Apple Watch Series 9. The Apple Watch Series 8 is a bit harder to find since it's two years old but Walmart features a higher-end stainless steel version and Best Buy offers certified Geek Squad refurbished models. Additionally, Best Buy has some discounts on Apple Watch accessories, such as bands and face covers, that allow you to save between $5 and $15.

For those looking for a more cost-effective option, there are deals on the second-gen Apple Watch SE. Keep in mind that some older models, such as the Apple Watch Ultra, can be hard to find in stock. Because of limited supplies, prices tend to change often, especially with retailers like Amazon and Walmart. We'll continue to update this list with the best deals as we find them.
It's also worth noting that Apple is still in the middle of an ongoing patent dispute, which means the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 models no longer include the blood-oxygen monitoring feature.
Released back in 2022, the second-gen Apple Watch SE is the most recent Apple Watch that hasn't been affected by the lawsuit, which means it's still available from Apple and most retailers. It offers a slew of upgrades over the first generation, including the same processor as the Watch Series 8, crash detection and a few others. It's already one of our favorite budget-friendly smartwatches and right now you can pick it up from Walmart for $60 off.
Walmart currently has no discounts on the Apple Watch Series 8 model. However, the store sometimes offers discounts on this Apple Watch. We'll continue to monitor for any savings as these come and go.
