apple watch series 10 apps.jpg

Earlier this week, Apple took to the stage in Cupertino, California at WWDC 25 to reveal its newest software updates for iPhone and its other major products. That includes upgrades to the Apple Watch lineup, which will be receiving a new smart “Workout Buddy” and a refreshed interface. All three of Apple’s latest smartwatches are set to support the new functionality, and they just went on sale at Amazon. Whether you’re searching for a discount on the all-around best smartwatch or just want a more affordable way to log your steps, I found the best Apple deals you can shop right now.

Apple Watch Series 10 deals

Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) deals

Apple Watch Ultra deals

If you need a heavy-duty smartwatch, Apple's Ultra 2 is your best bet. It enhances the usual smartwatch experience with a more rugged case, dual GPS radios and an even larger display. The deals start at $735 and include various combinations of titanium case colors and band designs.

Why these Apple Watch deals are worth shopping

All three of today’s Apple Watch discounts are some of the lowest prices I’ve tracked. Both sizes of the Apple Watch Series 10 have dropped to match the best prices ever, while the second-generation SE wearables match their second-best discounts of the year. Even the higher-end Apple Watch Ultra 2 is getting in on the savings with one of its first price cuts in 2025.

These deals are fantastic ways to try out the newest software features coming later this year in watchOS 26. Even beyond the upcoming personalized motivation tech that Apple will be shipping, its Apple Watches can already act as digital personal trainers with insights on heart rate, steps, sleep and much more. That means if you have a fitness-focused father that could still use a gift, these should deliver before the big day to make for a great last-minute Father’s Day gift.

What’s new with watchOS 26

As my colleague reported earlier in the week, Apple’s World Wide Developer Conference for 2025 unveiled the company’s newest software updates for Apple Watch. The most notable adjustment is Apple’s new design, which it calls “Liquid Glass.” It’s inspired by the Vision Pro’s translucent software display and brings a glossy coat of paint to the fitness tracking experience that CNN Underscored editors have been recommending for years.

There’s also a new Workout Buddy feature that channels Apple Intelligence into a smarter workout companion. It’s meant to imitate a fitness trainer right on your wrist, offering the kind of motivation you’d expect from any of Apple’s on-demand Fitness+ classes, just personalized to your performance.

The new design and personalized encouragement tech will be launching later in the year once watchOS 26 officially ships in September.
