The latest Apple Watch is now at its lowest price ever. With Mother's Day on May 11 approaching, the 42mm Apple Watch Series 10 is available for just $299, a 25% discount from its $399 original price, while the 46mm version is priced at $329, down 23% from $429. For iPhone users, the Apple Watch stands out as the top smartwatch, offering sleek design, superior build quality, robust fitness tracking, and seamless iPhone integration.
The Apple Watch Series 10 is the latest mainstream model, with the Series 11 not expected until September. It features a larger OLED Retina display, a new S10 processor that enables a slimmer design, a slightly larger 42mm base model compared to the 41mm Series 9, and minor additions like a water depth gauge. If you own a Series 9, upgrading may not be necessary, but for first-time buyers, the Series 10 is the ideal Apple Watch for most users.
Compared to the Apple Watch SE, the Series 10 offers a larger 42mm size versus 40mm, an Always-On display, a 30% faster processor, double the storage, advanced fitness and health sensors, double-tap gesture support, and faster charging. The SE is currently $199 on Amazon, but the Series 10’s enhancements make it a worthwhile investment for most.
While it’s technically possible to use an Apple Watch with an Android device, it’s not advisable. Many features rely on an iOS smartphone, and workarounds are often cumbersome. For the best experience, pair an Apple Watch with an iPhone. Android users will find better compatibility with dedicated Android smartwatches.
Alongside the Apple Watch, other Apple products are currently discounted. If a smartwatch feels too complex for your mom, consider gifting AirPods or an iPad instead.
