Sometimes, you see a deal so good that even if you already own the product, you’re still tempted to buy it.
I’ve been writing about wearable tech and fitness for years, and the cupboards at TechRadar Towers are full of thebest Apple Watchesever made. However, this deal got me hovering over the “buy” button all the same - after all, Christmas is just around the corner.
It’s early days yet for theBlack Friday deals, but Walmart has an absolutely incredible discount on the first-genApple Watch SE (2020), thanks to its rival sale to combatAmazon Prime Day. TheApple Watch SE with a silver or gold case and sport band is down from $279.00 to just $149.00– a saving of $130, over 40% of the RRP price.
While the original SE is starting to look slightly long in the tooth, it’s still a great value smartwatch providing excellent health and fitness tracking metrics, GPS to help track hikes, runs and rides, the ability to take calls and texts on-wrist, and it’s totally swimproof.
Apple’s budget SE watch has made some compromises, like incorporating a cheaper nylon backing into the watch rather than a fully-aluminum case, and it’s missing some advanced health sensors like blood oxygen tracking, so you’re not getting the full experience as you would if, for example, you bought theApple Watch Series 9with all its bells and whistles. However, its fully compatible with the latestwatchOS 10 operating systemand is still a dynamite deal at this price. Check it out below:
