Cyber Monday has come and gone, and some of the year’s hottest items sold out quickly — including nearly every model of the ever-popular Apple Watch. But if you’re hoping to save on an Apple Watch, I have some good news: A few deals still remain, including discounts on the Series 6 and the Series 5. While the savings aren’t massive, they’re still nothing to sneeze at. After all, a deal is a deal.
Keep reading for the best Apple Watch Cyber Monday deals that are still available. Keep in mind that, while availability and prices were accurate at the time this story was last updated, both are often in flux.
Apple
The latest Apple Watch with even more features is now on sale. In addition to an always-on display and ECG, the Series 6 monitors blood oxygen levels (though you shouldn’t expect medical-grade results there). Regularly $399, Target recently dropped prices to $350. That deal has since disappeared, but Amazon still has a fair discount live. Read our Apple Watch Series 6 review.

The discount on the larger Series 6 is also holding at $409 at Amazon.

The larger Apple Watch Series 5 is currently priced at $339. This model doesn’t have a blood-oxygen meter, but it does have the same exterior design and display features as the Series 6.
Apple Watch SE (44mm): $289 (Update: Out of stock)
Save $20
Vanessa Hand Orellana/CNET
The Watch SE is the stepdown model in Apple’s 2020 wristwatch line. It’s similar to the 2019 Series 5, but without the always-on screen and ECG function. The Watch SE also boasts a more powerful processor and a Retina display that’s 30% larger than the much older Series 3 (see below). Unlike the Series 3, the Watch SE also supports Apple’s new Family Setup feature that lets you set up an Apple Watch for your kid, but you’ll need to spend up for that cellular version (and an accompanying wireless plan).

Apple Watch Series 5: $299 for 40mm (Update: Expired)
Save $100 vs. previous list price
Sarah Tew/CNET
This 2019 model was technically discontinued with the introduction of the Series 6 in September. That said, while it’s lacking the blood-oxygen meter, it has the Series 6 ECG and always-on display features, as well as the identical exterior design. At $299, it’s a good deal if the prices on Series 6 don’t drop back down.
Apple Watch Series 3 (38mm): $119 (Update: Expired)
Save $80 vs. Apple Store
CNET
With its older design and dearth of bells and whistles, the Apple Watch Series 3 is getting long in the tooth. But with Walmart selling it at an all-time low of $119 (for the 38mm model), you could get two Series 3 models for the price of one SE. Currently, the white model is sold out, but the black is still available.

Apple Watch Series 3 (42mm): $149 (Update: Expired)
Save $80 vs. Apple Store

The larger Apple Watch Series 3 will also be $49 off at Walmart starting Nov. 25.
