Amazon has launched early Prime Day deals, with the Apple Watch SE 3 dropping to an unprecedented £189.05. This represents a 24% discount off the usual retail price of £249 for the 44mm model of the latest SE range, a rare price cut for a current Apple Watch model.
Deal Details and Availability
The offer applies to the larger 44mm Apple Watch SE 3 with an S/M band for wrists 140–190mm. The same model with an M/L band (160–210mm wrists) costs £208.05. Amazon states the deals end on June 26 or when promotional stock runs out, and are exclusive to Amazon Prime subscribers. Non-members can access a 30-day free trial to take advantage of the offer.
Amazon Prime Day officially runs from June 23 to June 26, but the retailer has started discounts early, with the Apple Watch SE 3 being one of the most notable offers.
Features and Upgrades
The Apple Watch SE 3 includes several upgrades over its predecessor. It is the first SE model with an always-on display, previously available only on pricier models. It features faster charging, though battery life remains at 18 hours, requiring daily charging. The SE 3 is powered by the same Apple S10 chip found in the Apple Watch Series 11, which retails at £369 at Argos.
While the SE 3 lacks an electrocardiogram (ECG) tool, depth gauge, and water temperature sensor, these are considered niche features for most users. The watch delivers notifications, supports third-party apps like Strava and Spotify, and tracks health and fitness data 24/7 with advanced sensors.
Comparison with Cheaper Alternatives
For budget-conscious shoppers, the Fitbit Charge 6 is currently discounted to £92.75 from £139.99. This slim tracker cannot download apps but offers nearly a week of battery life and built-in GPS for run tracking, similar to the Apple Watch.
