The brand-new Apple Watch SE 3<\/a> may be the latest model in Apple’s budget-friendly smartwatch lineup, but it’s not the most affordable Apple wearable on the market. The previous-gen Apple Watch SE 2<\/a> is still CNET’s top pick for the best budget smartwatch of 2025<\/a>, and you can find a handful of configurations at a serious discount right now.<\/p>\n

Walmart has knocked $80 off<\/a> the 40mm model with a starlight case and green sport loop, which drops it down to just $169. You can also pick up the 40mm midnight variant for just $170<\/a>. Just note that remaining inventory is fairly limited, so these discounted watches could sell out in a flash. We’d recommend taking advantage of these prices sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

The Apple Watch SE is a great wearable. It also makes an excellent first smartwatch for kids. Features include crash detection, heart rate monitoring and activity tracking. If you don’t need all the bells and whistles that Apple’s more rugged options offer, there’s no reason to sleep on this rare sale.<\/p>\n

Why this deal matters<\/p>\n

We’re big fans of Apple’s smartwatches, but not everyone can pay to put the company’s premium models on their wrist. The Apple Watch SE offers many of the same features on a budget, and this is your chance to get it for even less than usual. This deal is only around $20 more than the all-time lowest price we’ve ever seen for this model, and this could be one of your last chances to grab one in new condition.<\/p>\n
