Apple Watch Series 10 Is on Sale at Its Lowest Price Right Now
If you’ve been waiting for the right time to upgrade your Apple Watch, the Series 10 has quietly become one of the best value options. It launched in September and has already dropped to $299 on Amazon—that’s $100 off the $399 starting price.
This deal is for the 42mm GPS model with a rose gold aluminum case and a plum sport band . According to price trackers , this is the lowest price achieved so far. This is probably the best Apple Watch option for most users, especially those still using the older SE model . And while it still shares some similar DNA with the Series 9, there are enough small updates to make it a serious step up. Lifehacker’s review even called it the best Apple Watch for most people , which is supported by how many core features it provides without diving completely into the Ultra price zone.

You get a thinner design and a slightly larger OLED display, which may not be a game-changer, but it does make everything feel roomier and more responsive. Apple has also improved audio playback, so you can now listen to Spotify or podcasts directly from the watch’s speakers (no AirPods needed in a pinch). The updated sleep tracking is also smarter, meaning the watch will nudge you if it detects signs of sleep apnea. This is something you haven’t gotten before unless you spend money on an Apple Watch Ultra . The same goes for the new depth and water temperature sensors—they now activate automatically underwater, which is a nice addition for swimmers or divers, PCMag’s review notes. The Vitals app with Watch OS 11 also gives you an energy score, which is essentially your body’s daily report card based on several health metrics.
However, it’s not ideal. The blood oxygen sensor still hasn’t returned, which may be disappointing for people who used it regularly on older models. Battery life is 18–36 hours, depending on the number of functions used. This is enough for a day or so, but it’s not exactly a multi-day job. Still, the Series 10 earned PCMag’s Editors’ Choice award and Apple’s Best Smartwatch of 2024 , which is saying something. If you’re not chasing ultra-level features but want something smarter, faster and more powerful than the SE , it’s worth considering, especially now that it’s hit its rock bottom price.
