The Apple Watch SE 3 sometimes flies under the radar compared to its pricier siblings, the Apple Watch 11 and Apple Watch Ultra 3, but we rate it as the best affordable smartwatch and right now it’s certainly better value than the other Apple Watches thanks to an early Black Friday discount.
You can currently get the Apple Watch SE 3 for just $199 at Amazon, which is a $50 saving on its full price and the cheapest it’s ever been.
Seeing the Apple Watch SE 3 reduced by 20% already is a pleasant surprise, because it only launched in September and it’s a major update on the previous model of the Apple Watch SE.
For the first time on an SE model, the SE 3 has an always-on screen, and it also has a more durable design and a much faster processor than its predecessor. In fact the SE 3 uses the same S10 chip that powers the pricier Apple Watch Series 11 and Apple Watch Ultra 3 watches.
It also offers 5G connectivity and on-device Siri and while there are some reasons people might want to upgrade to the Apple Watch Series 11, such as ECG measurements and its larger, brighter display, the Apple Watch SE 3 is so packed with features it’s the best Apple option for most people even at its full price, so it’s certainly worth looking at in the sales.
