Best Apple Watch Series 10 Deals: There’s Still Time Before the Year Ends to Grab a New Model at a Discount


Apple Watches seem to always rise to the top of our best-of lists, and the Apple Watch Series 10 is no different. Following in the footsteps of its predecessors, it has earned the top spot on our list of the best smartwatches of 2024. That’s not much of a surprise when you consider its fast and fluid performance, lightweight design and vibrant display. One thing that hasn’t changed, however, is the high price tag, with the 42mm model starting at $399. Fortunately, a number of carriers and retailers are offering a chance to get one on your wrist for less right now.

The new 2024 wearable offers some nice improvements over its predecessors. In her comprehensive review of the Apple Watch Series 10, CNET’s Lexy Savvides describes it as “sleeker and more practical than ever.” The biggest news for the latest Apple smartwatch is a bigger screen — the display is 30% larger, although the body is thinner and lighter than before. Plus, new charging technology in the back of the Apple Watch 10 helps it reach full battery faster, and the new smartwatch has features like water sensors and sleep apnea detection. The display is also 40% brighter when viewed at an angle.

If you’re sold on Apple’s latest smartwatch, you’re in luck. We’ve rounded up all of the best deals from major carriers and retailers. Keep reading for the inside scoop on all the deals for the Apple Watch Series 10.
