It's a little harder to find these days, but any Apple Watch 5 deals that do appear offer excellent value for money. Now that Apple's smartwatch is two generations behind, prices are tumbling to record lows. However, it should be noted that many of these offers lie with renewed or refurbished devices in 2022.

The Apple Watch 5 had a starting price of $399 / £399 / AU$649 for the GPS-only model, and $499 / £499 / AU$799 for having both GPS and cellular. Thanks to the Apple Watch 6 and 7 release, you can no longer find the Apple Watch 5 on sale from the Apple store. That means it will be difficult to find Apple Watch deals on the Series 5 from online retailers, so if you see a price you like below, we recommend taking advantage now before it's too late.

The Apple Watch 5 was released in 2019 and features an Always-on Retina display, making it easier to read the time, messages, and other important notifications. The smartwatch now includes location features like a built-in compass and an updated Map app that now shows you which way you're facing. The Apple Watch 5 also has improved safety features with the ability to make international emergency calls in over 150 countries, even without your iPhone nearby. The additional health and fitness features include cycle tracking, the noise app, and activity trends.
