Black Friday deals are starting to flow and that means that you can now find discounts on all manner of things even though the sales haven’t officially kicked off yet.  That’s the case with smartwatches as well, and that includes the Apple Watch Series 10, Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2. Discounts are also popping up on the budget Apple Watch SE as well, meaning there is something for everyone.

If you’re trying to decide which Apple Watch to buy, consider your needs and budget. The Apple Watch Series 10 is the right choice for people who want all the health tracking features Apple has to offer, such as nighttime temperature readings and the ability to take an ECG, but who don’t need the Ultra 2’s extra features geared toward athletes. The Apple Watch SE is the best choice for folks who just want the basics for tracking workouts and getting notifications on their wrist. 

The Apple Watch lineup includes some of the best smartwatches on the market, but they can also be among the most expensive. That’s why more than a dozen CNET shopping experts this month have been analyzing thousands of offers from trusted retailers. We’re reporting our findings in lists like this, especially for products we’ve tested. And we’re keeping this list up to date to make sure you get up-to-the-minute savings on Apple Watches.

Is the Apple Watch on sale for Black Friday?

Unlike most Apple products, pricing on Apple Watch models tends to fluctuate throughout the year. They are especially prone to price drops during major shopping events. Lo and behold, we’re already seeing some significant deals as Black Friday nears. You can check out our roundup of early Black Friday Apple deals for even more savings.   

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

While Apple isn’t offering direct discounts on the Apple Watch, there are plenty of offers at third-party retailers to take advantage of. Overall, the best deals we’re seeing on Apple Watches right now are in Amazon’s Black Friday deals, and we can also expect discounts to crop up as part of Best Buy’s Black Friday sales. 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.

Where can I trade in my Apple Watch?

If you’re looking to hand over your existing Apple Watch for some credit against a new model this Black Friday, there are plenty of places you can do just that. Apple, of course, has its own trade-in program where you can get money off a new device, though Best Buy’s similar program might be more appealing at this time of year since the retailer is also offering direct discounts on new Apple Watch models. There are also third-party services for selling used electronics, which might bag you more money.
