The Apple Watch Series 8 has got a big surprise deal for Prime Day, with 30% off across the line.
Apple’s flagship smartwatch rarely gets meaningful deals around Prime Day and Black Friday, but this time it’s the pick of the bunch.
That means an Apple Watch Series 8 45mm can be snapped up for $308, down from $429. [Get deal]
And if you’re looking for a 41mm Series 8, then you can bag one for just $279. [Get deal]
That’s not much more than the Apple Watch SE, and it benefits from the always-on display, improved screen tech, ECG, and a temperature sensor that is leveraged for advanced women’s cycle tracking.
Of course, we’re only a couple of months away from a possible Apple Watch Series 9, but early rumors indicate that there won’t be huge changes – so it feels like a great opportunity to save valuable money and still get one of the best smartwatches ever made.
If you’re considering an Apple Watch Series 8 then we urge you to read our full review to make sure it’s right for you.
But we praised the incredible array of sports tracking and health features and the wealth of apps from the App Store, that makes it one of the most versatile smartwatches going.
There are downsides of course. The first, obviously, is that you need an iPhone for it to work. And the single-day battery life is also a major problem for some people when rival smartwatches can last up to a week.
That’s a compromise for the rich set of features – but charging it every night is realistic.
