The 2022 40mm GPS Apple Watch SE has further dropped in price on Amazon today, down to $179.00, from its original price of $249.00. This beats the price we tracked over the weekend by $10 and is a new all-time low price on the second-generation wearable.

More than just the 40mm GPS model is on sale, as you can also get the 44mm GPS Apple Watch SE at a new all-time low price of $209.00, down from $279.00. This is again beating the weekend's deal by $10 and is the best price currently available online for the wearable.

In terms of colors, the same three Aluminum Cases are available at this price: Starlight Aluminum with Starlight Sport Loop, Silver Aluminum with Winter Blue Sport Loop, and Midnight Aluminum with Midnight Sport Loop. Delivery dates are the same as well, ranging between November 22 and November 26.



If you're shopping for cellular devices, those prices haven't changed, but they're still at record lows. 40mm Cellular is priced at $239.00 and 44mm Cellular is priced at $269.00, both of which are $60 off and available in multiple colors.

Very good price considering the tech.
I am currently looking at getting a Polar vantage v3 and its $600, from a HW and SW perspective the Apple Watch is far superior in almost every way for a third of the price.

Lovely little device for the price, having owned one for a while it feels like a luxury to have more than anything, has some nice little features I enjoy. In need of an SE3, hope it's not too far away.

This won't apply to that many users here but if you are by any chance purchasing a Macbook Air or a Mac Mini directly from Apple then that comes with a $200 gift card which is largely useless as many Apple products are cheaper from retailers. The one good use I found for these gift cards is Apple Watches and that SE would then only cost $49.

Again, only makes sense for the fewer people who want a specific upgraded Macbook Air or Mini configuration that isn't available much cheaper from retailers. For example a Macbook Air with 1TB+ of storage could be bought through Apple directly as retailers mostly just reduce the prices of the base models (and might have 1-2 upgraded versions).

Had 44mm gen 1 SE, considered gen 2 SE, but went for $249 41mm refurb Series 7 (now sold out). It's exceeded my expectations, great battery life and most impressively, screen real estate feels the same as larger SE thanks to reduced bezels

If only the SE had oximeter to accurately measure O2 in the bloodstream, I would get one. But, anyway, here on Europe is difficult to find such deals so…

I wanted this as well, as it didn't make sense to pay $150 more for basically that feature.

I eventually bought an SE2 on sale and supplemented it with a $15 oximeter which by some accounts are just as accurate.

Yes it is. There are some sites still selling Series 6 new for $200.

I got an SE 1st gen earlier this year on final clearance at Walmart for $179 (the 44mm size). But if I needed a watch I'd buy this one today. The added features of the Series or Ultra models would be lost on me.

Some rumors say future Apple Watch (X?) will integrate the O2 level monitor into the sleep tracking features, to detect sleep apnea. And, as someone in a family with sleep apnea that I could also suffer, I’m really interested. But sadly the price of the regular Apple Watch is a bit steep.

I have the SE1. I bought a fingertip oximeter for around $10 on Amazon or Groupon, I don’t recall. Sure the watch is more convenient but I take my blood pressure and oxygen at home or work at set times so didn’t see the need to upgrade my watch.

Just an anecdotal suggestion!

I did the exact same thing. Only problem is that since I first purchased it 2 years ago I have only used it once every year and have both times forgotten to manually enter the readings into my Apple Health app on my iPhone.
