Apple Watch Series 7

Straight cash discounts on the Apple Watch Series 7 can be found on Amazon this year. We've listed the best ones below, and the most you'll currently find reach up to $19 off the GPS models.

If you want a Cellular device, there are some solid offers at various carriers. AT&T has $330 off Apple Watch models when purchasing two at once. These will need to be added on a qualifying installment plan and you'll need to add at least one new line.

At Verizon you can get up to $200 off Series 7 models when trading in a previous smartwatch and purchasing the new wearable on a new plan. You can get this same offer on the Apple Watch Series 6 and the Apple Watch SE.

  • GPS 45mm Starlight Aluminum/Starlight Sport Band - $419.99 at Amazon ($9 off)
  • GPS 45mm (Product)Red Aluminum/(Product)Red Sport Band - $409 at Amazon ($20 off)
  • GPS 41mm Starlight Aluminum/Starlight Sport Band - $379.99 at Amazon ($19 off)

Apple Watch Series 3

The best all-around Apple Watch Series 3 deal this Black Friday can be found at Walmart, which discounted the 38mm GPS Series 3 model to just $109.00, down from $199.00. The retailer also had the 42mm GPS Series 3 model on sale for $139.00, down from $229.00.

Unfortunately, this deal has been fluctuating all week and we haven't seen it return for a few days now. There may be a restock sometime today, however, so be sure to keep checking Walmart if you're interested.

Apple Watch SE

Similar to the Series 3, if you're willing to opt for an older model of the Apple Watch, you can find great deals this Black Friday. Target is offering the 40mm GPS Apple Watch SE for $219.99, down from $279.00. The 44mm GPS model is on sale for $249.99, down from $309.00.

These deals are both all-time low prices on the Apple Watch SE, and you can find similar sales at Best Buy this Black Friday. Target shoppers should remember that you can get an additional 5 percent off your order with the Target RedCard.

We're keeping track of all this season's best deals in our Black Friday 2021 Roundup. You can also find more of our daily deals and other offers in our Deals Roundup.

I know $20 is $20 but that's not really a black friday sale/ or savings.. IMO

Definitely agree. Speaking for myself, I’m glad that Apple offers a Veterans discount. It’s the same as the edu discount — 10% off.

When I got my Series 7, I was able to upgrade the band and still save $20 off the final price?

I wonder, does the edu store make you prove that you’re a student/teacher/other before you can use it?

It does not. If you use it frequently they may ask for verification. Basically block an order from shipping until it’s verified.

Anybody from anywhere though can type in their zip pick a close school and Apple won’t blink an eye about a laptop/iPad every couple years.
