The Prime Big Deal Days started just after midnight on October 8th and runs for 48 hours until midnight on the 9th. We'll be updating this article with the best Apple Watch deals as we see them, so stay tuned for the best Amazon Prime Day Apple Watch deals!\n\nAmazon's Prime Day sales event (which lasts two days, not just one!) is a fantastic opportunity to find a good deal on the Apple Watch, so if you were wondering if the Apple Watch will be on sale for Prime Day, wonder no more! We are seeing some great discounts on the Apple Watch for the Prime Day sale, which runs from just after midnight on Tuesday, October 8 to midnight on October 9.\n\nHere at Macworld, we know more than most about Apple's range of products, and we can spot a bargain too, having compiled regular Apple deals roundups for years. We're not likely to be fooled by the usual tricks, such as prices being raised just before a sales event so the discounts look bigger. We'll make sure to steer you to the genuinely worthwhile deals.\n\nApple's only recently updated the Apple Watch, with the 10th generation model replacing the Apple Watch Series 9. As a result, you can expect to see some decent deals on the older model. And because Apple didn't update the Apple Watch Ultra or the Apple Watch SE this time round we expect to see money off those models too. \n\nThe Apple Watch models picked here are all chosen by our editors, who have decades of experience with Apple devices. We've reviewed everything we recommend and we won't tell you to buy something that's not an actual deal. The products below are all at or near all-time lows, and we've selected what we think is the best configuration for each product type. We know Apple is expensive, so we've chosen products at prices we would be willing to pay, so you can trust that our recommendations will steer you in the right direction\u2014and save you big bucks. \n\nFor more coverage of Amazon's deals, check out our round-up of the best Apple Deals for Amazon Prime day as well as our Prime Day listings page.\n\nBest Apple Watch deals for Prime Big Deals Days\n\nSome deals are better than others. Here are the bigger savings to be had on a new Apple Watch this Prime Day. Look below for more deals on the different Apple Watch models. \n\nApple has discontinued the Apple Watch Series 9 and introduced the Apple Watch Series 10. As a result, there are some good deals to be had on the older Watch this Prime Day.\n\nThese are the best deals right now: \n\nU.S. Apple Watch Prime Day deals\n\nU.K. Apple Watch Prime Day deals\n\nYou can also find the Best Apple Watch deals throughout the year in our round-up, which is updated monthly. \n\nPrime Day 2024: How can I get the best Apple Watch deals?\n\nAmazon runs two Prime Day sales a year. The first is typically in July and the second in October in the following countries: Austria, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, the U.K., and the U.S.\n\nThe motive behind the sale is to encourage customers to join the company's Prime subscription service. For this reason, the sale is officially open to Prime members only, and you\u2019ll need to sign in with an active membership to purchase one of the deals. (You'll find, however, that some individual deals are available to non-members.) Prime memberships cost $139 \/ \u00a395 \/ AUD$59 annually, or $14.99 \/ \u00a38.99 \/ AUD$6.99 on a monthly basis. New users can sign up for a 30-day free trial which can be canceled at any time during the trial window.\n\nPrime members also get free two-day shipping and access to all the content available on the Prime Video streaming service.\n\nPrime Day 2024: More Apple bargains\n\nFor more Prime Day coverage, check out our roundups of the best deals across every Apple and Apple-related product line:","wordCount":693,"image":"https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/prime-day-apple-watch-4.jpg?quality=50&strip=all","datePublished":"2024-07-04T15:58:30+00:00","dateModified":"2024-10-08T06:53:53-07:00","keywords":"Apple Watch,Prime Day July 2024,Prime Day October 2024","mainEntityOfPage":"https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/article\/2386629\/best-apple-watch-prime-day-deals-october-2024.html"}]</script> <style> :root { /* Base. */ --base--font-family: "proxima-nova", sans-serif;

We are seeing some great discounts on the Apple Watch for the Prime Day sale, which runs from just after midnight on Tuesday, October 8 to midnight on October 9.</p> <div class="fake_sidebar_front"></div><div id="gpt-leaderboardmainbod-1" class="ad page-ad has-ad-prefix ad-article" data-ad-template="article" data-ofp="false" data-aaad="true" data-aa-adunit="/8456/IDG.US_CSMB_Macworld.com/apple-watch_section" data-aa-targeting='{"pos":"BTF1"}'> </div> <p>Here at Macworld, we know more than most about Apple’s range of products, and we can spot a bargain too, having compiled regular Apple deals roundups for years. We’re not likely to be fooled by the usual tricks, such as prices being raised just before a sales event so the discounts look bigger. We’ll make sure to steer you to the genuinely worthwhile deals.</p> <p>Apple’s only recently updated the Apple Watch, with the 10th generation model replacing the Apple Watch Series 9. As a result, you can expect to see some decent deals on the older model. And because Apple didn’t update the Apple Watch Ultra or the Apple Watch SE this time round we expect to see money off those models too. </p> <div class="jwPlayer--floatingContainer"> <div id="jwplayer--floatingVideo" class="jwplayer" data-media-id="O6tSMQIo"> </div> </div> <p>The Apple Watch models picked here are all chosen by our editors, who have decades of experience with Apple devices. We’ve reviewed everything we recommend and we won’t tell you to buy something that’s not an actual deal. The products below are all at or near all-time lows, and we’ve selected what we think is the best configuration for each product type. We know Apple is expensive, so we’ve chosen products at prices we would be willing to pay, so you can trust that our recommendations will steer you in the right direction—and save you big bucks. </p> <p>For more coverage of Amazon’s deals, check out our round-up of the <a href="https://www.macworld.com/article/2391988/best-apple-prime-day-2024-deals.html">best Apple Deals for Amazon Prime day</a> as well as our <a href="https://www.macworld.com/prime-day">Prime Day listings page</a>.</p> <div id="taboola-mid-article-thumbnails"></div><script type="text/javascript">window._taboola = window._taboola || []; _taboola.push({mode: 'alternating-thumbnails-stream-macworld',container: 'taboola-mid-article-thumbnails',placement: 'Mid Article Thumbnails',target_type: 'mix'});</script> <h2 class="wp-block-heading toc" id="best-apple-watch-deals-for-prime-big-deals-days">Best Apple Watch deals for Prime Big Deals Days</h2> <p>Some deals are better than others.

<p>Amazon runs two Prime Day sales a year. The first is typically in July and the second in October in the following countries: Austria, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, the U.K., and the U.S.</p> <p>The motive behind the sale is to encourage customers to join the company’s Prime subscription service. For this reason, the sale is officially open to Prime members only, and you’ll need to sign in with an active membership to purchase one of the deals. (You’ll find, however, that some individual deals are available to non-members.)
