Finding a significant discount on a current-gen Apple product is a rarity, so this deal for Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is one to pounce on if you want to upgrade your smartwatch. The Apple Watch Series 11 is down to its lowest price ever at $299 for the 42mm model. That’s a 25% discount off its normal $399 price.
The Best Apple Watch for 25% Off
The Apple Watch Series 11 earned a nearly perfect 4.5-star rating in my review, plus our esteemed Editors’ Choice award. Of the current Apple Watch lineup, it’s the best choice for most people when you consider its comprehensive feature set and value. New to this generation, the Series 11 has improved battery life, a scratch-resistant coating, and hypertension notifications.
Apple’s watchOS 26 software adds a Workout Buddy to keep you motivated during your exercise with AI-generated words of encouragement, a Sleep Score to give you a holistic view of your nightly rest, and a wrist flick gesture to dismiss alarms and calls.
The Series 11 also retains all the niceties of its outstanding predecessor, including a wide-angle OLED display, an underwater depth gauge, and music playback capabilities. It works well as a health and fitness tracker, with sensors to measure your heart rate, ECG, skin temperature, and even blood oxygen saturation (SpO2).
At $299, the Apple Watch Series 11 is closer in price to the budget-friendly $249 Apple Watch SE 3 than its usual $399 MSRP. The SE 3 is an excellent watch in its own right, but it has a smaller screen with thicker bezels, and lacks hypertension notifications, dust protection, a depth gauge, and ECG and SpO2 sensors from the Series 11. Grab the Series 11 now at a fantastic price, without compromising on features.
