With Prime Day in full force, the best deals of the year on Apple Watch Series 11 are landing to kick off the week. Plus, Apple Watch Ultra 3 is at a major $150 off, and SE 3 from $199. 

Apple Watch Series 11

Amazon has now dropped the most popular and affordable Apple Watch Series 11 models down to the lowest prices we have ever seen. The 42mm model is now sitting at $279 shipped while the larger 46mm case size has dropped to $309 shipped – that’s $120 off the list prices here. 

• 42mm Apple Watch Series 11 from $279 (Reg. $399) – New all-time low
• 42mm Apple Watch Series 11 GPS + Cell from $379 (Reg. $499) – New all-time low
• 42mm Apple Watch Series 11 from $309 (Reg. $429) – New all-time low
• 46mm Apple Watch Series 11 GPS + Cell from $399 (Reg. $529) – All-time low

While we are currently tracking deeper $130 price drops on cell models and as much as $160 off select Titanium configurations, when it comes to the base GPS-only aluminum case options, today’s early Prime Day offer is a new all-time low and the first time we have seen them at better than $100 off. 

Apple Watch Ultra 3

Much of the same goes for Apple Watch Ultra 3. Deals were already quite rare on Apple’s latest flagship premium wearable, and after seeing some notable $99 discounts over the last week or so, Amazon has taken it up (down) a notch to deliver new all-time low pricing at $150 off on select configurations:

• Black Apple Watch Ultra 3 w/ Black Ocean Band $649 (Reg. $799) – New all-time low
• Black Apple Watch Ultra 3 w/ Black Alpine Loop $649 (Reg. $799) – New all-time low

• Natural Apple Watch Ultra 3 w/ Natural Milanese Loop $749 (Reg. $899) – New all-time low

Apple Watch SE 3

The latest Apple Watch SE delivers some serious bang for your buck with what I consider to be the most compelling entry-level Apple wearable ever. It too is now seeing some particularly notable early Prime Day deals with the most affordable 40mm and 44mm returning the lowest price ever for the first time since Black Friday:

• 40mm Apple Watch SE 3 from $199 (Reg. $249)
• 40mm Apple Watch SE 3 Cell from $249 (Reg. $299)
• 44mm Apple Watch SE 3 from $229 (Reg. $279)
