The best Apple Watch deals to shop before Amazons Big Spring Sale ends

Don't sleep on Amazon's Big Spring Sale. The event is officially in its final hours, with price drops set to end after March 31.

For Apple users, these sale events are always super exciting — it's a rare chance to snag a device for significantly less. But time is ticking if you want to take advantage. There are still discounts on everything from MacBooks to AirPods. And if you've been hoping to get your hands on a brand-new smartwatch but refuse to pay full price, several Apple Watch models are still on sale, with savings of up to $300 on offer.

While Apple's Series 11 and SE 3 are getting attention for being the newest models, a few last-generation models during this final stretch. Right now, Best Buy is stealing the show with some last-minute price drops. You can currently pick up the Apple Watch SE 2 for just $189 (save $60), or the Apple Watch Ultra 2 for $599 (save $200). If you don't mind an older model, they might be the way to go.

We're keeping this page updated with all the live deals until the very last second. Just remember: if you see a deal crossed out below, it means it has either sold out or the price has officially gone back up.

We're already seeing low stock alerts on several configurations, so it's best to hop on these soon.

Best Apple Watch Series 11 deal

Why we like it

While we're mourning the loss of yesterday's $100 discount, the 42mm GPS Apple Watch Series 11 is still sitting at a very respectable $329 ($70 off). Don't wait for it to jump back to full price — grab what our what our Tech Editor, Timothy Beck Werth, calls the "Best Apple Upgrade." Mashable's Stan Schroeder agrees, noting the battery life alone is worth the jump. "Even if you already have a Series 10, which has nearly all the same features, the new Apple Watch Series 11 doesn’t require you to charge it mid-day in order to keep it going through the night," he writes.

Best Apple Watch SE deal

Why we like it

If you just want a reliable smartwatch without paying for features you won't use, the Apple Watch SE 3 is the way to go. We named it the "Best for Most People" in our smartwatch guide because it packs the exact same S10 chip as the Ultra 3 and the same water resistance as the Series 11 — "all for $150 less than the Series 11."

Now that the Big Spring Sale is in full swing, the 40mm model is down to $219, saving you $30. It’s also not the only configuration on sale right now. We've rounded up a few other discounted SE 3 models below so you can pick your preferred setup and still save some cash.
