Apple's Watch SE 2 is Insanely Low Right Now, Plunging to $169!
Spring sale isn't officially here yet, but we're already seeing great deals on smartwatches—especially on Apple's Watch lineup. For instance, the budget-friendly Apple Watch SE 2 has dropped back to $169 (down from $249) at Amazon and Best Buy. That’s a sizeable $80 discount (32%) and the best price for this year.
This deal applies to the 40mm variant, available in Starlight, Midnight, and Silver. You can pair it with a sport loop or sport band. A similar $80 discount is also available on the cellular model, bringing its price down to $219 (from $299).
Who is the Apple Watch SE 2 for?
The Apple Watch SE 2 (review) is designed for those who want the core features of the pricier Apple Watch Series without spending a fortune. With this deal, it's an even more compelling purchase—whether for yourself or as a gift.
The Watch SE 2 has the same squarish design as the standard Apple Watch Series, but with a lighter aluminum build, making it more comfortable for workouts and extended wear, including sleep tracking. It also boasts 50m water resistance, making it suitable for swimming and other water activities.
To keep costs down, some features are omitted—like the always-on display. However, the Watch SE 2 still features a bright and sharp OLED display: 1.57 inches for the 40mm model and 1.78 inches for the 44mm model.
Powering the Watch SE 2 is Apple’s S8 SiP (system in package), delivering fluid and fast performance in a compact form. For health tracking, you get an accurate 24/7 heart rate monitor, irregular heart rhythm notifications, and blood oxygen (SpO2) monitoring. Additional features include sleep tracking, cycle tracking for women, and automatic workout detection.
Battery life remains the same as the Apple Watch Series, rated at 18 hours per charge. You can double this by enabling Low Power Mode. However, a small downside is the lack of wireless charging, which helps keep its price lower.
