Apple Watch deal: Series 10 sports an all-new design

Apple Watch Series 10 [GPS, 42mm]

The Apple Watch Series 10 sports a sleek new design with a slimmer chassis, a bigger display and a faster chip. The build quality is also better than before.

Pros:

• Sleek, stunning design
• Bright display
• Fast charging

Cons:

• Battery life does not last 24 hours.

Launched in 2015, the Apple Watch quickly evolved from a nerdy fashion statement to a fitness-oriented essential. Apple keeps adding new sensors and capabilities, resulting in a smartwatch that can do much more than measure your heart rate during workouts.

Recent models can take an electrocardiogram, notify you if a loud environment might cause hearing damage, flag potential sleep apnea and provide ovulation estimates. It also integrates with Apple Fitness+ so subscribers can get the most out of the service’s guided workouts. Hop on this Apple Watch deal to strap all these capabilities onto your wrist.

(Note: Apple disabled the device’s blood oxygen sensor in 2023 due to an ongoing court case. There’s no word on when, or if, it will be re-enabled in new models.)

Series 10 sports an all-new design

The Apple Watch Series 10 included in this deal revamped the design of Apple’s smartwatch. The wearable measures 10% thinner than older models while packing a larger display. All of this comes without any compromise in performance or battery life.

Apple says the bigger display lights up to 40% brighter when viewed from an angle. To save power, the always-on display can drop its refresh rate to as low as 1Hz.

Thanks to a new rear metal back plate, Apple integrated the antenna directly into the watch’s housing. This improves connectivity and saves precious internal space. Another benefit is faster charging speeds, allowing the watch to spend less time on the charger.

The Apple Watch discounted in this deal is also water-resistant up to 6 meters. Plus, it can measure the water temperature via the Depth app, previously available only on the much more expensive Apple Watch Ultra.

Cult of Mac‘s Apple Watch Series 10 review praised the wearable for its “blazingly fast” performance and “butter-smooth” animations, all thanks to the new S10 chip.

You can enjoy all these advances if you jump on this Apple Watch deal before it disappears. (See Apple Watch Series 10 tech specs.)

Save on Series 10 with this Apple Watch deal

With a starting price of $399, the Apple Watch Series 10 is not cheap. Thankfully, Amazon’s current Apple Watch deal reduces the sting to your wallet with a $70 discount. This drops the price back to Black Friday/Cyber Monday lows.

You can secure the deal on the jet black aluminium case with black sport band, rose gold aluminium case with light blush sport band, and silver aluminium case with denim sport band. Amazon provides a similar $70 off on the Apple Watch and two-year AppleCare+ bundle. So, instead of $478, you will save 15% on your purchase and only pay $408.

However, Amazon currently offers the discount only on the 42mm Apple Watch. The 46mm model does not receive such an attractive price drop.
