Apple released its new flagship Apple Watch, the Series 6, just a few weeks ago — and you can already buy one for a few bucks off if you buy from Amazon. The online retailer is discounting the GPS-only model of the Series 6 in both sizes.
AmazonApple Watch Series 6 (GPS, 40mm)
Apple is currently selling the 40mm Series 6 for $399, while Amazon selling the same exact model for $375. And Apple is selling the 44mm Series 6 for $429, while Amazon is selling the exact same model for $415 (only the space gray model is on sale). If there’s a catch, it’s that Amazon only offers these Series 6 models with Apple’s silicone watch straps. If you want the new Solo Loop watch straps, you’ll have to buy from Apple.
The Series 6 is Apple’s best-ever Apple Watch, but it faces still competition this year — mostly from Apple, ironically. That’s because Apple’s other new smartwatch, the Apple Watch SE, is significantly cheaper and looks identical to the Series 6.
There are a few big tradeoffs with the Apple Watch SE, of course, as it lacks an always-on display, a blood oxygen sensor and an electrical heart rate sensor (although the SE does have an optical heart sensor, similar to the one found in the Series 3, so it’s still about to record your heart rate.)
