There's no need to shop around for the best price on a new Apple Watch: We've already done the research.

Contrary to what you may think, your local Apple Store isn't the best place to buy a new Apple wearable. Instead, you're best off shopping for everything Apple at Amazon. The online retail giant has all models of the Apple Watch 7 on sale now, ahead of Amazon Prime Day 2022, at prices much lower than you'll find at the Apple Store.


Top products in this article:

Apple Watch Series 7 GPS (41mm), $329 (regularly $399)

Apple Watch Series 7 GPS + cellular (41 mm), $429 and up (regularly $499)

Apple Watch Series 7 GPS (45mm), $359 (regularly $429)


If you're an Apple iOS-friendly household, then getting an Apple Watch is a no-brainer. The wearable pairs seamlessly with your Apple iPhone, Apple MacBook, Apple iPad and Apple AirPods. And with interchangeable Apple Watch bands, the smartwatch works with wide range of fashion styles, too.

The Apple Watch is on sale right now at Amazon. We found deals on the Apple Watch Series 7, Apple Watch Series 3, Apple Watch SE and more, all ahead of Amazon Prime Day 2022.

Right now, you can save $15 on Amazon on the GPS version of the 41 mm Apple Watch Series 7. At Apple, the model lists for $399 -- and up. On Amazon, prices and availability may vary depending on the color of the watch. We also saw a deal on the 41mm watch with GPS and built-in cellular: It's going for $429 right now -- that's down $70 from the $499 Apple list price.

Though it's not the latest model, the GPS-enabled Apple Watch Series 3 has plenty going for it. It's water-resistant to 30 meters, monitors your heart rate and even sends you irregular heart rhythm notifications. It works as an altimeter, and has an emergency SOS feature that'll allow you to alert your emergency contacts when necessary.

Apple Watch SE (40 mm): $249

The water-resistant Apple Watch SE boasts a Retina display that's 30% larger than one offered by the Series 3. 

Apple Watch SE GPS (40 mm), $249 (reduced from $279)


Apple Watch Series 6 (40 mm) (refurbished): $244 and up

The predecessor of the Apple Watch Series 7, the Apple Watch Series 6 comes in two cases sizes: 40mm and 44mm (versus 41mm and 45 mm for the Series 7). Its always-on display is brighter than that of the less-expensive Apple Watch 3.

The Series 6 comes in several colors, and you can choose between cases made of aluminum, stainless steel or titanium. 

Apple itself no longer sells the Apple Watch Series 6, and you'll be hard-pressed to find a brand-new, in-package model that's cheaper than Amazon's price on the state-of-the-art Apple Watch Series 7. But if you're willing to go for a refurbished watch, then you can find Apple Watch Series 6 deals on Amazon. Prices may vary by color.

Just about anyone will love these budget-minded Apple AirPods. They're not the latest model, but they're still one of the most sought-after earbud models on the market. 

Retailing for $159 at Apple, they're on sale at Amazon right now for $100. These AirPods boast more than 24 hours total listening time (with the wireless charging case), a foolproof, one-tap setup for Apple device owners and a low-latency wireless connection (for full immersion when consuming movies and music).

Upgrade your old AirPods to the Apple AirPods Pro. Compared to older models, these AirPods fit active noise cancelation technology, water resistance and hearing health tracking in a more-compact, better-fitting design. They're also lauded for their great sound quality. But all this quality comes at a steep price -- specifically $250. That's why the deal we found at Amazon is a big deal. 

Now at $180, the Apple AirPods Pro are a great deal for those with some flexibility in their budget.
