If you’ve been waiting to purchase an Apple Watch SE, today is the day. For October Prime Day, it’s on sale for $169.99, which is 32% off the $249 list price. Here’s the link; do not delay. This is not one of those “kind of a good deal, I guess” things—it’s a bonafide great price for a great product and one of the best deals during October Prime Day 2024.
Until the very recent release of the Series 10, Lifehacker’s Associate Tech Editor Michelle Ehrhardt considered the Apple Watch SE to be the best Apple Watch for most people—and it still is, if the higher price tag of the 10 is a turnoff and its extra features don’t seem all that appealing.
Our sister site, PCMag, knows a lot about smart watches, and they named the Apple Watch SE the “Most Affordable Apple Watch,” praising it as “an excellent alternative to the Series 10 for first-time smartwatch buyers as well as older or younger users,” so if you’re buying a watch for your kid or elder relative, this is the watch for you. It monitors your heart rate, tracks your sleep, has both fall and car crash detection, and it’s water resistant to around 164 feet.
