The best Apple Watch deals this week

UPDATE: Oct. 13, 2022, 3:35 p.m. EDT We've updated this post to reflect the most recent pricing and availability on Apple Watches.

• BEST OVERALL DEAL: The Apple Watch Series 7 (45mm, GPS) is back down to its lowest price ever, offering a large watch face for a much smaller price than usual — $309 $379 at Walmart (save $70)

• BEST BUDGET PICK: The new Apple Watch SE (44mm, GPS) gives you the core Apple Watch experience, and it's on sale for the first time ever — $269.98 $279 at Amazon (save $9.02)

It's been over seven years since the first generation Apple Watch began to grace people's wrists. In that time, the Apple wearable has evolved in size and power, and naturally, because it's Apple, price. If you're into the idea of having a fitness tracker, an extension of your phone, and all the world's conveniences (or, at least a few more than you're used to) wrapped around your wrist, but aren't into shelling out the max amount of cash, you've come to the right place. Every week, we'll keep a watch out (too much?) and update this post with the best Apple Watch deals from across the internet.

$389.98 at Amazon (save $9.02)

Why we like it:

The Series 8 was announced only last month, and we already saw it drop $50 last week during Amazon's Prime Day 2. The super savings are gone (for now), so if you're want to save the most money possible, we'd recommend waiting until Black Friday. But if you want to still save a bit of cash and avoid the hecticness of Black Friday, this is a decent deal to jump on.

Why we like it:

Yes, it's not even a full $10 off, but an Apple Watch's first sale is notable no matter the price drop. And this watch is brand new, so we'll take it. Upgraded from the 2020 SE, this watch has a redesigned back case, crash detection, and the same S8 chip found in the brand new Series 8, all without breaking the bank,
