New Apple Watch SE 3 just hit the Amazon low at nearly $50 off ($160 under the Series 11)

$50/SE 3

Just after seeing Amazon knock a solid $99 off the brand new Apple Watch Ultra 3 this morning, we also just spotted the best price yet on the 44mm Apple Watch SE 3 at nearly $50 off. 

Amazon is now offering the 44mm Apple Watch SE 3 with the Starlight case and Sport Band down at $229.99 shipped. Regularly $279, this is $49 off the list price and the lowest price we have tracked to date. The $50 in savings here is also the deepest deal we have tracked anywhere on the new SE 3 Apple just released last month. 

• Apple Watch SE 3 40mm $239.99 (Reg. $249) 
• Apple Watch SE 3 44mm from $229.99 (Reg. $279) 

Clearly most folks are after the new Series 11 or Ultra 3, if not just sticking with a previous-generation model, but the new entry-level Apple Watch is perhaps the most compelling SE model yet. 

While it feels like most folks think of the SE line as just something for kids or those that just want the Apple Watch experience without the Series model tax, and that is true to some degree, the new SE 3 delivers on a few levels to deliver a far more enticing solution than ever and one you can land for $160 less than the sale price on Series 11 right now.

SE 3 now sports the S10 chip – the tech powering the Apple Watch Series 10 – and delivers features typically only found in the more pricey models like double-tap and wrist-flick gesture support, and for the first time, an always-on display. All of this of course joins all of the expected health and fitness tracking too:

…sleep score, retrospective ovulation estimates, sleep apnea notifications, and wrist temperature sensing for richer Vitals app data.

Could it drop lower for Black Friday? Well, yes of course it could, anything could, Anything could drop lower than Black Friday during Black Friday for that matter. But the SE series watches historically never receive deals quite as deep as the Series models, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see the new SE 3 max out at $50 or $70 off the entire lineup next month. 

Apple Watch SE 3 features:

• HEALTH ESSENTIALS — Temperature sensing enables richer insights in the Vitals app and retrospective ovulation estimates. You’ll also get a daily sleep score, sleep apnea notifications, and be alerted if you have a high or low heart rate or an irregular rhythm.
• GREAT BATTERY LIFE — Enjoy all-day, 18-hour battery life. Then charge up to twice as fast as SE 2 and get up to 8 hours of battery in just 15 minutes.
• ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY — Now you can read the time and see the watch face without raising your wrist to wake the display.
• A GREAT FITNESS PARTNER — SE 3 gives you a healthy number of ways to track your workouts. With real-time metrics and Workout Buddy powered by Apple Intelligence from your nearby iPhone, you’ll hit your goals like never before.
• STAY CONNECTED — Send a text, take a call, listen to music and podcasts, use Siri, and get notifications. SE 3 (GPS) works with your iPhone or Wi-Fi to keep you connected.
