If you like the idea of owning an Apple smartwatch but don't have the funds to stretch to an Apple Watch Series 11, then you should take a look at the Apple Watch SE 3 at Amazon for $199.99 (was $249.99).
Not only does it offer a classic Apple design, but you also benefit from a smooth and user-friendly interface that makes interacting with it an absolute joy. In our tests, it also performs as well as the more expensive Series 11 and Ultra 3 models. Not bad for under $200!
This is actually the first price cut on Apple's latest budget smartwatch that we rated 4.5 stars out of five and labeled as the best Apple Watch for most people. Get it now while this early Black Friday deal is available at Amazon
Today's best Apple Watch SE 3 deal
This $50 discount is the first price cut we've seen on the recently released smartwatch, making it even more affordable than before. The Apple Watch SE 2 currently holds the position for the best cheap smartwatch, but the SE 3 more than matches it – and it's a smarter buy while it's reduced ahead of Black Friday. This attractive deal is only available on the Starlight Aluminum finish.

Our Apple Watch SE 3 review has recently landed, and our overall thoughts are very positive. Our reviewer, Jacob Krul, found it to be "the best Apple Watch for most people if you can live without the latest design and advanced health features".
There’s no ECG, blood oxygen, or sleep apnea tracking, but the essentials are present, including heart rate tracking, Sleep Score reporting, and activity tracking. We would say that most users don't need all the latest features and will be more than blown away by what this watch is capable of for general use.
As well as a gorgeous classic design, it's actually in the area of performance that the Apple Watch SE 3 shines. Featuring the same S10 chip that is found in the Series 11 and Ultra 3, the watch serves up a beautifully smooth experience. In our testing, we found that "apps open instantly, navigation is quick, and gestures like Double Tap and the new Wrist Flick add a nice layer of convenience".
Our best smartwatch guide offers an extensive breakdown of your options based on price and features – should you wish to compare the Apple Watch SE 3 to other well-rated models. There are also quick links to the best deals to save you from endlessly scanning the internet.
