Apple Watches Already on Sale Ahead of Black Friday: Here’s What to Shop Early

Two models discounted now

Apple products are popular holiday gifts, but finding them on sale can be difficult. The Ultra 4 first went on sale during October’s Prime Big Deal Days, then returned to its regular price. It is now at its lowest price, with $100 off.

The Ultra 4 is aimed at athletes seeking extensive features. Its battery can last multiple days, and workout tracking extends to 45 hours for activities such as triathlons and ultra marathons. It also offers advanced heart-rate tracking and health information on sleep and blood oxygen levels. A readiness feature assesses activity and sleep to help users gauge their preparedness for the day.

Ultra 3 offers another option

The Ultra 3 has a larger discount than the Ultra 4 and retains many of its features. It has a titanium exterior, water resistance to 100 meters and up to 42 hours of battery life.

The model also includes a full range of health and fitness tracking features. Its Amazon stock was reported as low at the time of publication, so shoppers considering it may want to act quickly.

More deals may arrive

The entry-level SE is currently full price, but the writer expects it to go on sale. The model has been discounted on Black Friday in each of the past several years.

The SE tracks sleep scores, workouts and general health metrics. It can connect users with emergency services and contacts after detecting a hard fall or severe crash, and its battery lasts 18 hours. It also connects to a phone for texting, music and calls while walking or running.

Latest model remains full price

The latest Apple Watch is also at full price, though the writer expects it to be included in Black Friday sales. The same model was $50 off during October Prime Day, and steeper discounts may follow. Its features include advanced heart-rate metrics, daily wellness insights, a 24-hour battery and fast charging that takes 15 minutes.
