The Apple Watch SE Is Just $206 Right Now

The second-generation Apple Watch SE was released in the fall of 2022 as a big upgrade to the budget version of the Apple Watch. Now, you can get the 44mm GPS and Cellular version Apple Watch SE with the aluminum case and sport loop band for $206.51 (originally $329), which is the lowest price I've seen. For reference, this Apple Watch hit $269.99 on Cyber Monday. At the moment, you can also get the smaller 40mm screen GPS version for $179 (originally $229) from Walmart, also the lowest price I've seen in recent months.

Your Apple Watch SE options:

• Apple Watch SE (Cellular + GPS) 44mm ($206.51 discounted)

• Apple Watch SE (GPS) 40mm ($179 discounted)

If you're wondering, these Apple Watch SE do not have the blood oxygen feature that was recently banned from being sold by Apple. However, you can still get one of those while you can and keep the feature for the life of the watch.

As tech writer Pranay Parab said back when this Apple Watch SE was released, this is the best Apple Watch choice for most people because it's cheaper and you still get many of the most important features in it. The SE has the same processor as the Series 8, has crash detection, and has a great battery life of up to 37 hours, as PCMag noted on its "excellent" review. You won't have dust resistance or the always-on display that many people asked for on the newer models, but you do get a WR50 rating, meaning it's water resistant to 164 feet and safe for swimming in a pool or the ocean.

Apple still upgrades the first-generation Apple Watch with the latest WatchOS, so you can still take advantage of the latest features that even the high-end Apple Watch models get.
