Over the holidays last year we did feature some $50 price drops to deliver new all-time lows on Apple’s latest Apple Watch SE 3, Apple’s most compelling SE model yet. But this morning we spotted a chance to land the 40mm variant down at $173 shipped in “Certified Open Box” condition.
Quickship Electronics (99.8% positive feedback seller) via eBay is now offering the 40mm Apple Watch SE 3 in the Starlight colorway down at $173.23 shipped.
This is an eBay seller with solid reviews marked as delivering “Certified Open Box” units. It comes with a 1-year warranty and lands in “excellent, new condition with no wear.”
The item may be missing the original packaging or protective wrapping, or may be in the original packaging but not sealed. The item includes original accessories.
Regularly $249, today’s deal is a notable one that knocks 30% off the list price to deliver one of the best deals we have tracked yet on the 40mm SE 3.
In new condition, this unit has never fallen below $199 and has hovered closer to full sticker ever since the holiday deals jumped back up at Amazon – it is currently selling for $240 there. For further comparison, Best Buy’s open-box listings on this config are are even more at $241, and the most notable price we can find on any SE 3 in open-box condition there has the 44mm model down at $228, or $51 off.
Deals have thus far been rather light on the SE 3 outside of the Black Friday offers, unlike the Series 11 where things got quite aggressive over the holidays last year. This tends to be the case with the more affordable new Apple releases, but with today’s offer we are talking about quite a substantial 30% discount.
The SE 3 is, perhaps, not the most desirable of models, however it is a far less pricey proposition than the latest series models and one that lands far more capable than the previous iteration. Some of the highlights here are the always-on display as well as double-tap and wrist-flick gesture support, all powered by the same S10 chip in the Series 10 model.
