Black Friday is over, but the deals continue
for Cyber Monday and Cyber Week. The shopping holiday has sort of
morphed over the years into a weeks-long event. Apple typically
holds a sale that lasts from Friday through Monday, but other
retailers start Black Friday deals a week before the day itself and
carry them through for days after.
If you’re looking to pick up an Apple Watch this holiday season,
for yourself or as a gift, you might want to buy during that time.
In 2020, there were quite a few deals on Apple Watch, especially if
you weren’t concerned with buying the latest model. As the new Series 7 is such a small upgrade over the Series 6, buying last year’s model makes more
sense than ever this year, if you can find one.
Cyber Monday
Apple Watch deals – our top pick
Cyber Monday Apple Watch deals from Apple
Apple has a holiday shopping event that is live now
and runs until Monday, November 29. While there aren’t any actual
discounts being offered from Apple, if you buy an Apple Watch
Series 3 or Apple Watch SE you’ll get a $50 gift card for a future
purchase.
Apple Watch Series 7: Best Cyber Monday deals
While stock has been fluctuating since the launch of the newest
Apple Watch in October, some stores have begun discounting the
Apple Watch Series 7. There is a $20 discount at Costco on the Starlight color and Amazon
has the red and green models for $20 off as well.

Apple
Watch SE: Best Cyber Monday deals
Best Buy will give you $30 off the Apple Watch Series 3, but the
much better deal is $60 off the Apple Watch SE (Currently unavailable).
That brings the price down to $219, and it’s a real discount not a
gift card. Best Buy also kicks in six months of Apple Fitness+, if
you don’t already subscribe to it.
Amazon has the same deal, but you get 3 months of
Apple Fitness+ (the standard with any new Apple Watch
purchase).
Target has this deal as well, also with the
standard 3 months of Apple Fitness+.

Apple Watch Series 3: Best Cyber Monday deals
Walmart was selling the Apple Watch Series 3 for just $109 ($139 for
the larger 42mm size), though sadly it is now out of stock. We
typically don’t recommend the Series 3 as it’s sort of an
evolutionary dead-end for the Apple Watch. The smaller screen with
with large bezels, the slower processor…there’s just no telling how
much longer it’s going to get watchOS updates. But at that price,
it can be a great stopgap to simply track some workouts or get
started with Apple Fitness+ while you wait for a more
capable Apple Watch in a year or two.
Apple
Watch: Best Cyber Monday deals from carrier stores
If you’re interested in buying an Apple Watch with cellular
access, and you’re okay activating it and probably being forced to
buy on an installment plan, you can save a significant amount with
a carrier deal. It’s a lot of gotchas but the discounts are
steep.
Verizon: Get Apple Watch SE or Series 7 for $150 off if you
buy it together with an iPhone.
AT&T: Buy any two Apple Watch
models on an installment plan and get up to $330 off, as a monthly bill credit over 36
months.
T-Mobile: Apple Watch SE is only $99 when you add a
qualifying line.
