Released alongside the Series 11 and Ultra 3, the Apple Watch SE 3 is the latest budget-friendly model in Apple’s lineup. Starting at $249, it’s already considerably cheaper than the Apple Watch Series 11, but it could always be cheaper. And ahead of this Black Friday, it already is.
Amazon’s deal slashes the Apple Watch SE 3 to its lowest price we’ve seen to date, knocking it down to a record-low $200. That’s a $49 discount, but I don’t expect that it will last for long. Apple Watch prices can be volatile, and that’s why I suggest placing your order soon to avoid missing out.
Even at full price, CNET smartwatch expert Vanessa Hand Orellana called the third-gen SE a “$250 steal that delivers nearly everything you’d want from a wearable, with surprisingly few compromises.”

It’s equipped with the same S10 processor as the Series 11 and Ultra 3, and offers many of the same features, like fast charging, 5G connectivity and new wellness tools.
Plus, the vibrant 40mm display is always on, so you can check the time with a glance. Other helpful features include onboard Siri, fall detection and a durable design that’s water-resistant up to 50 meters.
