The Apple Watch lineup includes some of the best smartwatches on the market, but they can also be among the most costly.

We’re reporting our findings in lists like this, especially for products that we’ve tested. And we’re keeping this list up to date to make sure you get up-to-the-minute savings on Apple Watches.

The Apple Watch SE is the budget model. It’s a great option for those new to the platform or who want to get in on the Apple Watch ecosystem without going over their budget. It’s also been discounted down to its lowest price ever, so now is the time to grab it if you’ve always wanted it.

Will the Apple Watch go on sale for Black Friday? 

Unlike most Apple products, pricing on Apple Watch models tends to fluctuate throughout the year and is especially prone to price drops during major shopping events. Lo and behold, we’re seeing some significant Black Friday deals this year. 

Where’s the best place to buy an Apple Watch on Black Friday?

While Apple isn’t offering direct discounts on the Apple Watch, it’s offering Black Friday Apple deals in the form of up to $200 in Apple gift cards. The best deals we’re seeing on Apple Watches right now are on Amazon’s Black Friday or Best Buy’s Black Friday sales.  Other retailers to keep tabs on include Walmart and Target. Don’t shy away from carrier deals if you’re in the market for a cellular-enabled Apple Watch model and are willing to open a new line of service for the extra device.

Where can I trade in my Apple Watch?

If you’re looking to hand over your existing Apple Watch for some credit against a new model this Black Friday, there are plenty of places you can do just that. Apple, of course, has its own trade-in program where you can get money off a new device, though Best Buy’s similar program might be more appealing at this time of year since the retailer is also offering direct discounts on new Apple Watch models. There are also third-party services for selling used electronics which might bag you more money to spend.
