The Apple Watch SE 3 hits its lowest price ever for Prime Day

Sure, the Apple Watch Ultra and Series 11 are great, but if you want to get one that’s truly affordable, the Apple Watch SE3 is only $199 right now. That’s $50 off for Prime Day and the absolute best price we’ve ever seen for this model.

The Apple Watch SE3 is already a budget-friendly pick, but this Prime Day deal makes it even more affordable. But just because it’s $200 cheaper than the Series 11 doesn’t mean it doesn’t have plenty of features you’ll love, including a slew of health, fitness, and social features. The watch features a temperature sensor for cycle tracking, a heart-rate monitor for exercise, an altimeter and accelerometer for steps, and will even issue alerts for high or low heart rate or an irregular rhythm.

The watch also comes with plenty of safety features. It can detect falls and crashes, automatically connecting you with emergency services if need be. And of course, you’ll be able to stay in touch with friends and family with messages and calls right on your wrist. The Apple Watch SE 3 has a solid battery life too, with 18 hours of use time on a single charge. If you feel the need for a quick top-up, a quick 15 minutes gets you an extra eight hours of use.

Of course, you will miss out on some features the more expensive models have, notably the ECG app and blood oxygen sensors. If those metrics matter to you, you should get the Series 11, which is also on sale for $279 ($120 off). But if you just want basic tracking and notifications from your iPhone, you’re good to go with the SE3.

At $199, the Apple Watch SE 3 is an easy pick for anyone who wants a capable smartwatch without spending a ton of money.
