Every Apple Watch model is currently available at its lowest price ever during Amazon Prime Day 2025. The Apple Watch Series 11 earned a five-star review from the Guardian's consumer technology editor, Samuel Gibbs, and regularly appears in gift guides for all ages. The Apple Watch is beloved by moms, customized by dads, and requested by tweens.
Apple Watch SE Gen 3: The Best for Most People
According to Gibbs, "the recently updated entry-level Apple Watch SE 3 offers almost everything its more expensive siblings do, but at a discount." It includes an always-on display, onboard Siri, basic heart-rate monitoring, and sleep tracking capabilities. The SE Gen 3 is priced at $199 (originally $249) for the GPS model and $229 (originally $279) for the cellular version, reflecting an 18% discount. Gibbs recommends this model as the best Apple Watch for most people, especially those new to wearables.
Apple Watch Series 11: Enhanced Health Features
The Apple Watch Series 11 builds on the SE with a larger, brighter screen, longer battery life, faster charging, and advanced sensors. "For heart health, this is the Apple Watch to choose," said Gibbs. It includes ECG functionality for detecting atrial fibrillation (AFib) and blood-oxygen monitoring (currently disabled in the US due to a patent dispute). The Series 11 GPS model is $279 (originally $399), and the cellular version is $309 (originally $429).
Apple Watch Ultra 3: For Outdoor Enthusiasts
Gibbs described the Ultra 3 as "the biggest, baddest and best Apple Watch the company makes" in his five-star review. It features dual-band GPS for accurate tracking, a scratch-resistant sapphire face, three-day battery life, and satellite connectivity for messaging outside cell range. At $649 (originally $799), it is twice the cost of lower-end models but offers significant upgrades for outdoor enthusiasts.
All deals are available exclusively during Prime Day. Buyers should consider whether they need cellular connectivity, which adds both upfront cost and monthly fees of approximately $10–15.
