There's no point in upgrading to the Apple Watch Series 11 — save $300 on the Series 10 in Amazon's Spring Sale and get a near-identical wearable for a lot less

The end of the Amazon Big Spring Sale is near, and as it goes with every sale event, I've scoured endless listings to see what deals I can find on the best smartwatches — and I've found yet another record-low deal on one of our favorite Apple Watches.

If you were thinking of upgrading to the Apple Watch Series 11, think again, because the GPS & Cellular 46mm titanium Apple Watch Series 10 is now $300 cheaper at $499 (was $799), and it's also a record-low price for this particular model, meaning it's even better than Black Friday.

Although the Series 11 is one of Apple's most recent smartwatch models, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's better than its predecessor. In fact, the Series 10 has a lot of the similar health and design features which we've named one of our best Apple Watches, and with a generous $300 discount, it's a no-brainer which model you should upgrade to next.

Apple Watch Series 10 in Titanium [GPS + Cellular 46mm case]: was $799 now $499 at Amazon

Record-low price: Never before have we seen the Titanium Cellular 46mm Series 10 hit a price this low at Amazon, and it's already surpassed its lowest Black Friday price mark. Amazon isn't currently listing the Apple Watch Series 11, but it's still pretty pricey on Apple's online store. Compared to the Series 10, there are a lot of similarities, so you won't be missing out on advanced features by opting for the previous gen model.

The Apple Watch Series 10 is a stand-out model from Apple's regular smartwatch lineup, making it a solid half-way model between the more premium Apple Watch Ultra and the budget SE range. I'm on the Apple Watch SE 2, and though I stan by it, there are a few added benefits you get with the Series 10 that take your wearable experience even further.

First is the display, which comes in slightly larger options compared to budget Apple Watches, offering a quick and at-a-glance Always-On Retina display — but that's just the beginning.

On the features front, the Series 10 is the one to upgrade to if you're looking for a smartwatch that's more robust with its health and fitness tracking features. As it supports watchOS 26, this means it also supports Hypertension notifications and the ECG app, both introduced this year.

Additionally, its Blood Oxygen app and Sleep apnea notifications are another reason to upgrade if you want to get into the nitty gritty aspects of your health profile. If you can live without 5G support, look no further.
