Best Black Friday Apple Watch Deals: Save Up to $100 on Top-Rated Wearables

The Apple Watch is one of the best wearables around and now you can get one for less.

This year’s Black Friday week is finally here. That makes this the perfect time to take advantage of discounts across the entire range of Apple Watch models, from the budget Apple Watch SE to the very latest Apple Watch Ultra 2.

The Apple Watch lineup includes some of the best smartwatches on the market, but they can also be among the most costly. But don’t panic, because more than a dozen CNET shopping experts this month have been analyzing thousands of offers from trusted retailers. We’re reporting our findings here, with special attention to products that we’ve tested and evaluated in our labs.

Black Friday Apple Watch deals

Will the Apple Watch go on sale for Black Friday? 

Unlike most Apple products, pricing on the Apple Watch has been known to fluctuate throughout the year and is especially prone to price drops during major shopping events. For that reason, we expect some significant Black Friday deals this year. 

Where’s the best place to buy an Apple Watch on Black Friday?

While Apple won’t be offering direct discounts on the Apple Watch, the wearable device is available to purchase at third-party retailers. Shopping Amazon’s Black Friday or Best Buy’s Black Friday sales may give you a better shot at finding a bargain. Both retailers have offered steep Apple Watch savings in the past and will likely be among the best places to buy one ahead of the holidays. Other retailers to keep tabs on include Walmart and Target. Don’t shy away from carrier deals if you’re in the market for a cellular-enabled Apple Watch model and are willing to open a new line of service for the extra device.
