What is the best smartwatch money can buy this holiday season? That might sound like a very complicated question, but if you're an iPhone user and either can't afford or don't want the rugged Apple Watch Ultra 3 for... fairly obvious reasons, the answer becomes extremely simple.

Yes, the Apple Watch Series 11 is smaller, lighter, less robust, less sophisticated in a few big ways, but just as powerful, and most importantly, significantly cheaper than the Ultra 3, especially after a cool new $70 Cyber Monday markdown.

Amazon's top Cyber Monday 2025 smartwatch deals are here to save you a fortune on many popular models.

This seems to apply to all 42 and 46mm variants with and without cellular connectivity, starting from a GPS-only model that's normally priced at $399 for folks with small wrists and improving on Amazon's $50 Black Friday discounts offered across the board for more than a week prior to today.

Now, granted, the Apple Watch Series 11 is still not as affordable as something like Samsung's Galaxy Watch 8, but for a hardcore Apple fan and iPhone owner, that's not going to matter that much. What might matter to many bargain hunters is that the three-month-old wearable device is unlikely to score a bigger discount anytime soon, at least in its cheapest variants with aluminum cases and sport bands.

Powered by the same S10 chip as the extravagant aforementioned Apple Watch Ultra 3 (and the budget-friendly Apple Watch SE 3), the Series 11 also shines in the health monitoring department with super-advanced tools like an ECG app, hypertension notifications, irregular rhythm notifications, blood oxygen sensor, sleep apnea alerts, sleep score, temperature sensing, and cycle tracking with retrospective ovulation estimates.

The battery life is pretty great as well (at least for a "mainstream" Apple Watch), at up to 24 hours or as much as 38 hours of uninterrupted use in Low Power Mode, and while certainly familiar at first glance, the design is actually improved over last year's Series 9 as far as both all-day comfort and long-term durability are concerned. In short, you're... probably not looking at a perfect smartwatch here, but this is likely the closest you can come to perfection this Christmas without spending an arm and a leg.
