As with all Prime Day sales, only Amazon Prime members can take advantage of today's deals. If you aren't a member, you can join Prime via a free 30-day trial to participate in this year's Prime Day. Once your trial is over, Prime membership will run for $14.99/month or $139/year. For students, that's $7.49/month or $69/year.

Apple Watch SE

Starting with the Apple Watch SE, Amazon has the 40mm GPS model for just $199.99 in select colors, down from $249.00. The 44mm GPS model is available for $229.99, down from $279.00. These are now the best prices we've ever seen on both versions of the second-generation Apple Watch SE.




Apple Watch Series 8

For the main Apple Watch Series 8 models, prices start at $279.99 for 41mm GPS and rise to $309.99 for 45mm GPS. Similar to the SE devices, this is the first time we've ever seen these watches go this low, and they're available in multiple colors.




Remember that you'll need an Amazon Prime membership to get Prime Day deals. You can sign up for Prime on Amazon if you don't have the service yet.

Damn. I just got my SE from Amazon yesterday to finally upgrade from my Series 4. Not sure if it's worth the hassle to re-order and return this one or not. I doubt Amazon would price match.

Sounds like a solid deal - curious how many people go with just the GPS version as opposed to GPS/cellular? My wife has the combo and takes her watch more than her phone these days.

I never used the cellular function on my series 4, so I opted not to get it with the SE I just received. I can't think of many scenarios where I wouldn't have my phone on me.

Really nice deal on the S8 and I’d pay the price right now if I wanted to get one but personally I don’t think it’s enough of an upgrade over the 7 I have now.

Still, great price for those looking to make the jump!
 
I bought a Series 8 from Amazon at 12 am and received it exactly 4 hours and 48 minutes later! Great deal!
 
It's really tempting to get this, especially with the battery life when exercising on my Series 4 lately, but I must hold out for the ULTRA SERIES 1.
 
I'm still rocking a Series 3, so this is a very tempting deal. However, my Series 3 is stainless steel, so I'm not sure how I feel about going back to an aluminum model. But for the price, I'm tempted. The Series 3 is getting close to unusable these days.

I’m replacing my series 4 with poor battery life with a 45mm series 8. $309 is a great price. I paid $425 for my 4 four years ago.

Screw you, inflation!!
 
Anyone order a Series 8 from Prime Day and get it delayed in shipping?

Mine seems lost and the only option is to wait through tomorrow or they will refund the cost. I chatted with customer support and they said it has shipped, but yet can't give me any updates because it hasn't shipped.

I never order expensive items via Amazon but went with this because the deal was so good. All my other 10 Prime Day items, which weren't tech related, have shipped and been delivered fine. Yet this one apparently has gone missing. So frustrating.
 
Yes, but no. I got mine but shipping never showed as delivered. I can’t tell Amazon I actually received it. I could cancel the order, but I’m not that dishonest.

I recently had a Chinese-shipped order say delivered and it never showed up ($9 order). Refunded and reordered from another supplier and got it in two days.

From what I could tell, $309 was a damn good price to pay for a 45mm series 8 GPS.

I ended up talking to an Amazon support supervisor, who refunded me the original cost plus tax, and then added a $50 gift card so I could buy it again at the current price, which I did, and it arrived the same day.

However, that rep said the Applecare I bought for the original watch would be attached to the new watch I'd buy, but that turned out not to be the case. I had to sit through another hour of customer service to get the $15 difference between the Prime Day Applecare cost and the current AppleCare cost.

I don't know why the Applecare cost was different. I didn't notice it advertised as on sale for Prime Day, but it was $64 on prime day and $79 now.
