T-Mobile is currently offering up to $300 off when you buy a new watch and add a qualifying line. You can also buy two qualifying watches (you can mix and match the 10, 11, Ultra and SE) and get up to 300 off the two. You’ll need new lines for them as well. The discount for both offers is distributed via bill credits over 24 months.
Best Apple Watch Ultra 3 deals
Apple’s new and improved rugged Ultra 3 smartwatch comes with an intimidating $799 starting price, but you can knock up to $295 off in exchange for your old wearable. You’ll also get 3% cash back when you purchase with an Apple Card.*
Best Buy doesn’t have any direct discounts on the Apple Watch Ultra 3. But you can still knock up to $250 off the starting price with an eligible trade-in. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 will net you the most credit, but older models and smartwatches from other brands also are accepted. My Best Buy Plus and Total members will also receive an additional 10% off eligible trade-ins.
Best Apple Watch SE 3 deals
The third-gen Apple Watch SE is the most affordable model in its lineup and you can pick one up for even less when you trade in your old smartwatch. You can save up to $295, which means you can technically get it free, although it will ultimately depend on the year and condition of your trade-in. You’ll also get 3% cash back when you purchase with an Apple Card.*
Best Buy isn’t currently offering any direct discounts on the Apple Watch SE 3. However, Best Buy has a generous trade-in program that can bring the price down a bit. You can technically save up to $250, but that’s in exchange for the Apple Watch Ultra 2, which is a bit of a downgrade. You’ll receive $180 in credit if you exchange an Apple Watch Series 10, or $70 for a second-gen Apple Watch SE. Plus, you’ll also get four free months of Apple Fitness Plus and three free months of Apple Music.
Walmart also has the new Apple Watch SE 3 available. The retailer isn’t offering any direct discounts on any of its available configurations, but this often changes. The purchase comes with the option to claim three months free on one of five available Apple services: Apple Music, Apple Fitness Plus, Apple TV, Apple Arcade or Apple News Plus.
AT&T offers $300 off select Apple Watch models when you purchase two of them. Savings are received via bill credits over 36 months.
Best Apple Watch Series 10 deals
Although it was only released in 2024, the Apple Watch Series 10 is pretty scarce. T-Mobile still lists it on their site, however it is out of stock. We did spot a refurbished offer at BackMarket, listed below. We’ll update this list when we find new stock.
Although you can’t get your hands on a new model at the moment, Back Market is offering a certified refurbished model starting at just $231, plus you can potentially save more with trade in credit. This is a great way to get your hands on a Series 10 for less, but with the current offers on the Series 11, for just about $50 more you can get a new, flagship model.
Best Apple Watch Ultra 2 deals
Best Buy has a $225 direct discount on the Ultra 2, bringing the price down to $574. If you have a similar device to exchange, you can potentially save up to $250 using Best Buy’s trade-in program. If you’re a new subscriber, you’ll also get four free months of Apple Fitness Plus and three free months of Apple Music with the purchase.
Best Apple Watch Series 9 deals
Deals on the Apple Watch Series 9 are scarce these days. Most carriers no longer have this model, and retailers such as Best Buy and Amazon only have refurbished models in stock. Currently, Target is carrying the Apple Watch Series 9 for $250, which saves you $150. Target Circle™ Card* members can save an additional 5%.
Prices and availability change often because of limited supply, especially through retailers like Amazon and Walmart. We’ll continue to update this list with the best deals as we find them.
