If you own an iPhone, Apple makes some of the best smartwatches you can get. We’ve tested and reviewed many of them over the years — they have a great mix of smart, fitness and health features that make them useful and convenient for all kinds of people. The most affordable model, the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen), is back on sale for 32% off, matching the lowest price we’ve seen all year.
The Apple Watch SE costs much less than the Apple Watch Series 10 and Apple Watch Ultra 2, but has most of the brand’s best features, including nearly identical sleep and fitness tracking tools. You can use the Apple Health and Apple Fitness app to view your sleep stats, heart rate, steps and previous exercises. The watch syncs easily to your iPhone, and can send texts and make requests using Siri and your voice.
It has up to 18 hours of battery life, which isn’t great, so I usually charge my Apple Watch every morning. You can get it with all kinds of different watch bands, but this deal comes with either the Sport Band or Sport Loop.
