Pick up one of the best budget smartwatches for less
The Apple Watch SE (2022) has returned to its lowest-ever price of $219 on Amazon.
The retailer is currently offering all versions of the entry-level Apple Watch SE 2 with at least a $30 discount, which means you can pick up the ‘GPS’ or ‘GPS + Cellular’ edition in either 40mm or 44mm.
The asking price for the smartwatch has been reduced by the same amount a few times since its release last September, but this represents its longest current stint with the reduction.
The prices begin at $219 for the GPS-only 40mm Apple Watch SE 2 – down from $249 – though the 44mm model is also on offer for $249, reduced from $279.
If you want cellular support and the ability to take calls, receive notifications, and stream music when out of range of your iPhone, the Apple Watch SE 2 with GPS + Cellular has also received the biggest saving.
For those in the market for a 40mm model, a whopping saving of $60 takes the price to $239 right now on Amazon, with the 44mm edition also sneaking under $300 with a saving of $30.
When we reviewed the Apple Watch SE (2022) last year, we applauded the smartwatch’s ability to offer such a complete experience for newbies.
“The core tracking experience is excellent, and the native and third-party app support is unrivaled… it is undoubtedly the top option for first-timers and those giving their child a watch through Apple Family Setup,” we said.
With it also being the current-gen model, and not expected to be replaced until September 2024 at the earliest, it’s a great time to pick one up.
As we’ve seen with Amazon’s Apple Watch SE 2 offers, though, the savings often don’t last for an extended period of time.
If you’ve been weighing this one up, we’d suggest pulling the trigger sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.
