If you’re in the market for an Apple Watch upgrade, but don’t want to spend top dollar on the latest Apple Watch Series 8 or Apple Watch Ultra, you can still save on previous-gen models if you know where to look. For the next seven days, for example, Woot is running a couple of Apple Watch deals on older models with prices from as low as $180. With the sale, you could save a decent chunk of cash by going for an older model without sacrificing too much in terms of features.
The Apple Watch Series 7, originally released in 2021, is available from $260 and offers some solid upgrades over prior models including a more durable build, larger display sizes and a fast-charging capability. It was also the first model to support a full QWERTY keyboard for composing quick replies to text messages. Various colors and sizes are available, with both GPS and cellular configurations included in the limited-time sale.
The Series 6, which you can pick up for as low as $180, is a year older but still boasts 18 hours of battery life, an always-on display, water-resistance up to 50 meters and advanced health features like SpO2 tracking. At this price, it’s possibly a better starter smartwatch pick than the Apple Watch SE, which strips out some of the advanced health tracking features in order to come in at a low price.
The products on offer at Woot will have a little wear and tear, such as minor scratches, dents or dings, but they are in full working condition with batteries guaranteed to function at 85% capacity. This sale is slated to end on March 31, though some models will sell out much sooner than that, so grab what you can while supplies still last.
