Apple Watch deals are always among the most popular during Prime Day, particularly when it comes to slightly older models, like the Apple Watch Series 7. Early Prime Day deals can make the somewhat expensive wearable much more affordable – and the deals are already starting to appear.

2022 saw the release of two new models, the Apple Watch Series 8 and the super rugged Apple Watch Ultra. Based on previous years, we're not expecting to see any particularly exciting deals on these latest models (although you never know). But in the case of the Series 8, this marked one of the most minor upgrades ever, featuring the same design, chip and battery life as its predecessor, so we'll be keeping an eye out for deals on older models.

Prime Apple Watch deal quick links

Right now there aren't many deals to be found on the Apple Watch, especially in the US – although we've seen a few pre-Prime Day offers this week, Amazon seems to have put things on pause until Prime Day properly kicks off from 11 July. But there are still some savings to be found in the UK. 

Prime Apple Watch Ultra deals

Apple Watch Ultra at Amazon US:

Apple Watch Ultra at Amazon US: $799 $779
Save $20: It's hardly the biggest saving we've seen, but seeing as the Apple Watch Ultra is the newest and most advanced Apple wearable, discounts are rare at this point. The Ultra features a 49mm display, up to 36 hours of battery and 100m of water resistance.

Prime Apple Watch 8 deals

Apple Watch Series 8 at Amazon UK:

Apple Watch Series 8 at Amazon UK: £419 £369
Save £50: The Apple Watch Series 8 is the latest version of Apple's standard wearable. Along with the larger screen introduced with the Series 7, it features temperature sensing and blood oxygen tracking. Amazon UK is currently offering £50 off both this 41mm version, and the larger 45mm model.

Prime Apple Watch 7 deals

Apple Watch Series 7 (Stainless Steel) at Amazon UK:

Apple Watch Series 7 (Stainless Steel) at Amazon UK: £599 £519
Save £80: It might be the previous model, but the Series 7 is remarkably similar to the Apple Watch Series 8 – all that's missing is the temperature sensor and crash detection. And this deal knocks £80 off the luxury stainless steel version, which features a much stronger and more scratch-resistant sapphire glass display.

Prime Apple Watch SE deals

Apple Watch SE (1st gen) at Walmart:

Apple Watch SE (1st gen) at Walmart: $279 $149
Save $130: For a budget option, look no further than the Apple Watch SE. This deal knocks $130 off the price of the 1st gen model, which, although it doesn't pack an always-on display, is still a hugely feature rich wearable.

Apple Watch SE (3rd gen) at Amazon UK: £

Apple Watch SE (3rd gen) at Amazon UK: £259 £249
Save £10: Okay, this is by no means a big saving – but the Apple Watch SE is already incredible value, and this discount nudges it under £250 for the first time. While you don't get the always-on display, the SE features crash detection along with all the advanced fitness trackers you'd come to expect from an Apple Watch.

How do we select our Apple Watch Prime Day deals?

We've been reviewing the Apple Watch since it debuted in 2015, and have experience using every model. We look at a combination of price, release date and specs, and whether a deal is the lowest we've seen for a particular model – or still worth considering even if not.

Do I need the latest Apple Watch?

Unlike the iPhone, updates the Apple Watch have proven remarkably incremental over the last few years. The Series 7 brought a larger display and fast charging, whereas the Series 8 simply adds a temperature sensor. That said, the Apple Watch Ultra is a brand new model, with a new design.
