Continuing the trend of discounting Apple’s latest wearables to really celebrate the start of spring, Amazon today is completing the trifecta with some Apple Watch Series 8 markdowns. Joining the likes of the SE 2 and Ultra styles that have gone on sale earlier in the week, Wednesday is giving shoppers a chance to score all-time lows. Leading the way, the Apple Watch Series 8 GPS 45mm stylings now rest at $359 shipped in two different colorways.

The smaller 41mm GPS stylings are also on sale, and now dropping down to $329. That’s down from the usual $399 going rate and also matching the all-time low.
