Apple Cyber Monday and Black Friday deals have been impressive in 2022, thanks to retailers like Walmart and Amazon. And the fun isn’t over yet! Walmart just slashed the price of the Apple Watch SE (1st Generation) 47% off, bringing it down to only $149, the lowest price we’ve ever seen for an Apple Watch. The price makes the wearable tech an affordable entry into Apple’s ecosystem and saves you a cool $130. This is the best Apple Watch deal of 2022, and it’s not going to last long.
The 1st Generation Apple Watch SE model is from 2020, so while it isn’t loaded up with the latest and greatest tech, it still packs a punch when it comes to activity tracking, heart rate monitoring and even sleep tracking. You’re able to take calls and send texts from your wrist, giving you access to your phone right on your arm. The wearable has a water resistance rating of 50 meters under the ISO standard. Whether you’re swimming, running, lifting or just walking your dog, the Apple Watch SE can keep track of all activity. An Apple Watch makes a great gift for the active people on your list, or as a great purchase for yourself to keep track of all the steps you take running holiday errands.
The model on sale doesn’t offer cellular connectivity, so you’ll have to have your phone close by or be connected to WiFi to access streaming and messaging. It has a Retina OLED display for super crisp visuals on the screen. Plus, every metal finish of the watch is on sale for the same low price, so you can get it in space gray, silver or gold.
If the 40mm screen feels small, the 44mm version is also on sale for $179, another $130 off the original price tag. The SE lineup from Apple is designed to be affordable, easy to use and great for tech users of any age. This lowest price ever Cyber Monday deal on the wearable will be short-lived, so you’ll want to cash in on the sale ASAP.
