Update: Best Buy might be offering refurb Series 8 units down at $199, but Walmart is now offering the brand new Midnight aluminum Apple Watch Series 8 GPS + Cellular 45mm units down at $229 – that’s an originally $529 Apple Watch. You’ll also find the stainless steel models start from $349 as well:
- Apple Watch Series 8 GPS + Cellular 45mm Steel $349 (Reg. $749)
- With Sport Band
- Apple Watch Series 8 GPS + Cellular 45mm Steel $349 (Reg. $749)
- With Milanese Band
We are still tracking $100 price drops on select Apple Watch Series 9 configurations right now with 45mm models starting at $329. However, for today only, Best Buy’s Geek Squad is now offering some deep deals on Series 8 models in refurbished condition at $199 shipped. Both the regularly $399 41mm and regularly $429 45mm are now selling at the same $199 in Geek Squad refurbished condition. That’s as much as $230 off the original prices on the still perfectly capable Series 8 model. They both ship with a 90-day warranty.
It’s certainly not a Series 9, nor is it the Series 10 that will arrive this fall, but it is still a great wearable that’s set to receive the latest watchOS updates for what will likely be years – it’s hard to know for sure with these things, but the upcoming watch OS 11 does reach all the way back to Series 6.
The Series 8 models on sale today come in both sizes with the Midnight case color and a matching Apple Sport Band alongside all of the expected fitness/health tracking – you can take an ECG, measure heart rate and blood oxygen, and track temperature changes, leverage Crash Detection, sleep stages tracking, and advanced workout metrics.
They also come with the Geek Squad seal of approval too:
