Amazon today has the 42mm GPS Apple Watch Series 10 for the new all-time low price of $366.28, down from $399.00. This sale is only available in the Rose Gold Aluminum model, and Amazon provides an expected delivery date of October 28 for most United States residences.

Apple just launched the Series 10 models in September, so we haven't tracked particularly steep discounts as of yet, making this $32 markdown notable. There are also a few solid second-best prices on other 42mm GPS colors, like the Jet Black at $370.00.



Secondly, the 46mm GPS Apple Watch Series 10 has hit $399.00 in multiple colors, down from $429.00. Specifically, you can get this record low price in Rose Gold Aluminum (both S/M and M/L sizes) and Silver Aluminum (same size options).

They must be down bad. Always a sale on Apple products now, you used to never hear about them being discounted.
AW9 to AW10 was probably the most incremental upgrade ever.

I had an AW4 with a 67% battery health and was all set to buy AW10 when it came out.

I ended up buying AW9 because it was $100 less and I could not see any reason whatsoever to spend that $100.

Disagree. This is actually the largest update in years. 6 to 7 to 8 to 9 were all smaller upgrades than this one. All of those years had small mostly meaningless changes. That said, this one was also pretty incremental at the end of the day. They made a big deal about the screen and I was kind of thinking it would be more noticeable in person, but it really barely is. I can tell the screen is larger but it doesn't really seem like it would make much of a difference in day-to-day use.

Had a look at those Apple products lastly. If you look close enough, you c an see differences between my AW6 and AW10, but no one will notice it even from a short distance. Apple isn‘t even changing the design from round to more edgy, like seen on the iPhone.

Btw I also grabbed an iPhone Pro Max to compare it with my non Max version. But I did really didn’t notice that I was looking at the new iPhone 16 ….

Don't buy from Amazon unless you are 100% sure you will keep it.
Returning Apple products can take quite some time, unlike standard
returns. I returned a watch and it took 45 days to get the refund!

7 to 8 was literally just menstrual cycle tracking and nothing else

As someone who wears both a 6 and a 7 daily, I disagree - the difference in screen size between the 2 is huge for me. I just had my 7's battery replaced for free via AppleCare+ which actually resulted in a new 7 as my old one had a scratch on the front. The price of the 10 vs the 7 is, to the penny, the exact same, via Apple's website, so I decided not to pull the trigger. But with Amazon offering discounts on both the 10 and a discount on AppleCare+, it makes the 10 very, very tempting, as any increase in screen size is a big deal to me. I may end up selling my 6, handing my 7 down to family, and pulling the trigger on a 46mm 10. I am, however, very thankful Apple did not release an Ultra 3 in black, as I would have bought that for sure. So now my biggest "first world problem" is - do I get a 10 on discount now, knowing next year a black Ultra 3 will be released, or just wait for that to happen and enjoy my new battery/screen on my 7 now? Something I'm thinking a lot about, since in very early 2026 I will be doing a 6 month long endurance event and an Ultra's extended battery life, and other features, would be useful. Though I did the same event in 2022 with my 7, and it did fine during the 9 months of hiking in the woods [though I did get that screen scratch on it].

Anyway, for some, the tiniest size differences in screen size can make a big difference.

I stand corrected, then.

It’s yet another in a long series of very incremental updates.

Coming from a 44mm AW4, the single biggest difference is AOD, and - a bit niche - compass. Even the size difference is almost unnoticeable. A negative change was the super dim auto light screen when using in a dark room. Setting “minimal brightness” in Accessibility mode results in a much brighter display than I’d like. Somehow they went backwards there, AW4 screen brightness was just perfect.
