Reasons to avoid

-Same 18-hour battery life The Apple Watch 8 is the best smartwatch overall. In our Apple Watch 8 review, we called the Editor's Choice watch a solid upgrade for anyone using the Series 4 or Series 5. The new watch has a built-in skin temperature sensor and low power mode, which can extend the latest Apple Watch's battery life to 36 hours. The Apple Watch 8 also has a new crash detection feature, leveraging improved motion sensors for instant help when you might need it most. Whether you want a smartwatch for working out, answering calls from your wrist, or using the best Apple Watch apps, this is the best smartwatch on the market, as long as you have an iPhone, of course. Currently, there are no Apple Watch 8 deals - but we expect the first discounts to appear in the coming days. Expect to see anywhere from $20 to $50 off at retailer like Amazon and Best Buy.

+New, lower price+Same chipset as Apple Watch 8

Reasons to avoid

-No always-on display The Apple Watch SE (2022) is Apple's new mid-tier watch. It packs the same chipset found in the Apple Watch Series 8, but for a lower price. Priced at $249, it's even $30 cheaper than the previous-gen Apple Watch SE. In our Apple Watch SE 2022 review, we called it the best Apple Watch value you'll find. In terms of design, the new Apple Watch SE (2022) looks like a resurrected Apple Watch Series 4, with thicker bezels than those on the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Series 7. The the bottom casing is now made of nylon composite materials that are color-matched to the bezel. You can't see it when it's on your wrist, but it's a subtle change that we like. Performance-wise, it's noticeably more sharp the original original Apple Watch SE's since it went from using theS5 chipset to the S8 chipset. In terms of Apple Watch SE deals - Amazon is already offering a modest $10 discount on the larger 44mm Apple Watch SE 2022 model. (Image credit: Future)

-Same 18-hour battery life The Apple Watch 7 is Apple's current flagship. However, this smartwatch is mostly an incremental upgrade from its predecessor. It maintains the same 18-hour battery life and it adds no new health features. But the enlarged display is a game-changer and makes it difficult to return to previous-generation models. The Series 7's big screen adapts wearable computing for more everyday applications, making it practical to be productive from your wrist. In our Apple Watch Series 7 review, we found the smartwatch to be an extension of your iPhone on your wrist, but it's clearly capable of becoming more than an accessory. It's the top smartwatch choice for anyone with an iPhone, and easily the best Apple Watch ever. The QWERTY keyboard makes a difference, and if there was finally a time to fully recommend adding Cellular support to your smartwatch, it's now. Not sure which model to buy?

Reasons to avoid

-No always-on display-Lacks CG and blood oxygen monitoring Priced $120 less than the Apple Watch 6, the Apple Watch SE sits comfortably in between the pricier Apple Watch 6 and cheaper Apple Watch 3. It lacks an always-on display and it doesn't include the Series 6's blood oxygen monitoring, but it's still an amazing smartwatch for the price. With its classic Apple Watch design, the Apple Watch SE has the same processor and screen as the Apple Watch 5. The Apple Watch SE also sports a screen that's 30% larger than the one on the Apple Watch 3. In our Apple Watch SE review, we loved how responsive the watch was. Simply put, you're not going to find a more well-rounded smartwatch for the price than the Apple Watch SE. In terms of Apple Watch deals - the Apple Watch SE tends to get modest price cuts of $10 to $40 off. They also tend to sell out fast, so grab them when you can. (Image credit: Apple)

Reasons to buy

+Excellent fitness-tracking features+Most affordable Apple Watch you'll find

Reasons to avoid

-Short battery life when connected to LTE Apple has dropped the price of the Apple Watch 3 down to $199. As a result, it's become the cheapest Apple Watch you can find. Despite its entry-level status, the Apple Watch Series 3 is still an excellent smartwatch. It offers many of the same features found in the newer models like solid fitness tracking, a water proof design, and Apple Music streaming capabilities. The major trade-offs are that you get a slightly dated design and you don't get access to the ECG app, which measures the electrical activity of your heart. In terms of deals, the Apple Watch 3 (38mm/GPS) hit an all-time price low of $129 on Black Friday. It was an amazing Apple Watch deal that we likely won't see again till the next major holiday. The good news is that on any given day - you can find the Apple Watch 3 on sale for $169 or $189. But act fast because these Apple Watch deals tend to sell out fast. Currently, Walmart has the Apple Watch 3 on sale for $169 (opens in new tab). Just remember that this watch won't receive the next watchOS update, so it's essentially reaching its end of life.
