Amazon has discounted the 2022 Apple Watch SE to just $219 (was $239) when you apply an additional $20 coupon at checkout. That's the lowest price we've ever seen and an incredible value for a feature-rich smartwatch.

The Apple Watch SE shares many of the same features as the Apple Watch 8 but with a much more affordable price tag. While the SE lacks the always-on display and ECG app (which many might find unnecessary), the smartwatch includes an improved chip versus the previous generation with faster performance and new health and safety features such as fall detection and Emergency SOS. You also get all the features people love about the Apple smartwatches, such as heart rate monitoring, activity and sleep tracking, and the ability to receive notifications, take calls and reply to texts directly from your wrist.

The $219 sale price on the Apple Watch SE is not only a record-low price but also the cheapest Apple smartwatch you can buy right now. If you want a reliable smartwatch packed with premium features but don't want to pay a premium price, we highly recommend today's deal on the Apple Watch SE.
