Black Friday itself is now over, but if you're looking for a discount, hopefully our Cyber Monday Apple Watch deal live blog will give you up-to-date information on any sales that are still hanging around.
That's right, it's Cyber Monday now, and Black Friday is already fading from our memory. We've got a big Cyber Monday Apple Watch deals guide, so there's still time to grab an excellent offer.
Most of the Black Friday deals on Apple's wearables cut the price of the new Apple Watch 7, the older Apple Watch 3 and the 'budget' Apple Watch SE - none of the discounts are huge, but if you were looking to buy one of the devices anyway, you might as well go for it in the Black Friday deals.
We've rounded up all the best Black Friday Apple Watch deals here, and we'll keep the page packed with the latest offers as soon as they launch. If you're unsure about which model or offer to choose, you'll find plenty of pro buyer tips to help you decide.
(We also have more Black Friday Apple deals covering the company's portfolio of laptops and phones elsewhere on the site, and if you're really into your fitness, take a look at the best Black Friday Fitbit deals too.)

The best Black Friday Apple Watch deals: UK
Tough call, but it could be at least worth considering if you're interested in one of the more popular models. What's popular right now? Unsurprisingly it's the more recent devices, and in particular, the cheaper GPS only variants in 'safer' colors like Black and Silver. For context, the Apple Watch Series 7 is currently on backorder at Best Buy, Apple, and even at Apple itself. Stock is holding out a lot better on the Apple Watch SE right now but we wouldn't rule out any decent sales between now and Black Friday causing issues there either.

| Series 7 | Apple Watch SE | Series 3 | Older devices | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard price | $399 / £369 | $279 / £249 | $199 / £179 | N/A |
| Record low | $389 / £369 | $229 / £249 | $219 / £165 | N/A |
| Popularity | 5/5 | 4/5 | 3/5 | 1/5 |
| Buy early? | Yes | Yes - if good price | Hold | Hold |
We've laid out the lowest prices for each device just above alongside what we judge to be the most popular models. It's not based on much, just our observations over the past few months, but it's at least an indicator of what's likely to sell out quickly between now and Black Friday should there be any big price cuts.
There are a few caveats. Firstly, UK retailers look like they've got much healthier stocks of Apple Watches right now, so there's less danger in that territory of things selling out if you wait. Also worth noting is that demand for Apple Watch deals in general varies heavily depending on color and also cellular capability. The pricier cellular models tend to be the last to sell out, especially on brighter colors.

When will Black Friday Apple Watch deals start in 2021?
Black Friday is now here, and we should expect the deals to keep coming throughout the weekend and Cyber Monday. Things had been heating up more and more in the run-up to Black Friday, though for the most part the discounts weren't particularly huge.
Which model should I go for?
- Best overall: Apple Watch 7
- Best value: Apple Watch SE
- Best for on a budget: Apple Watch 3
- Black Friday wildcard: Apple Watch 6
The Apple Watch Series 7 is the latest release - one which includes a larger display (20% bigger than previously), IP6X dust resistance, and better durability. It's the shiniest and most impressive Apple Watch on the market right now, although it carries the highest price tag and is also less likely to receive Black Friday deals (more on that below).
It's also functionally the same inside as the now superseded Apple Watch Series 6. This model's officially discontinued now so it could be a prime target for a Black Friday clearance sale at leading retailers. With a beefy S6 processor, ECG and blood oxygen monitor, it's still incredibly fully featured and a great buy for premium watch hunters.
On the budget side of things, you've got the Apple Watch SE and Series 3. The SE is the much more recent (and powerful) device of the two, so we'd recommend that one if your budget can stretch. The Apple Watch 3 is still supported with the latest software, however, and can do the job for both casual and fitness tasks if you're on a comparatively shoe-string budget.
Will there be Apple Watch 7 Black Friday deals?
The Apple Watch 7 was released in mid-October, so it's barely month old at this point. That officially puts it in the 'brand-spanking-new' category and an outside bet for a substantial price cut for sure. Amazon currently has it on sale for $379.99 – considering the popularity of this just-released model, we'll take it.
Where are the best places to find Black Friday Apple Watch deals?
Our guide will bring you all the best Black Friday Apple Watch deals with the lowest prices available from all your favorite retailers. Apple typically doesn't offer discounts on its own devices, and is once again offering gift cards with select purchases. This means you'll have to rely on third-party retailers like Amazon to find the best Black Friday Apple Watch deals.
The best Black Friday Apple Watch deals last year
One of the best ways to predict what will happen in 2021 is to look back at last year's best Apple Watch Black Friday deals. In the US, we saw the top-tier Apple Watch 6 discounted by up to $70 over Black Friday, with the 40mm GPS model dropping in price from $399 to $329.98 at Amazon.
There were also big price cuts on the lower-spec but excellent value Apple Watch SE. (It isn't as high-end as the Apple Watch 6, but we think it's the best Apple Watch you can buy because it has all the best bits of the top-tier version, but it costs less money.) The lowest price we saw here was $229 for the 40mm GPS model at Best Buy - that's a $50 discount from the full $279. Meanwhile, 2017's best smartwatch - the Apple Watch Series 3 - dropped as low as $119 at Amazon and Walmart.
Here's a roundup of last year's best Black Friday Apple Watch deals, as well as what we wrote about them at the time.
