While seeing the latest and greatest non-rugged Apple smartwatch sold at a $100 or $120 discount in multiple GPS-only and especially cellular-enabled variants has become a pretty regular occurrence in recent months, saving more than that without jumping through any hoops remains quite the challenge.

But although we're still several months away from the year's biggest shopping events, Amazon seems to be running a Black Friday-grade Apple Watch Series 11 sale right now. This allows you to slash a whopping 150 bucks off the $499 list price of the hugely popular intelligent timepiece in a small 42mm version with built-in 5G support, but only for the space gray and jet black color options paired with a standard black sport band.

Samsung's brand-new Galaxy Watch 9 is one of the best Apple Watch Series 11 alternatives around, and for a limited time, it's sold alongside a nice and handy $50 Amazon gift card.

$149 off (30%)

If you need an always-connected smartwatch with a super-high-quality touchscreen, excellent overall performance, and stellar long-term software support, the 42mm Apple Watch Series 11 with built-in 5G support is marked down by a hefty 150 bucks in two colorways for an undoubtedly limited time only.

Nonetheless, you're clearly looking at a very hard-to-beat and hard-to-turn-down deal on one of the best smartwatches money can buy in 2026, and it's fairly obvious that you won't get a lot of time to maximize your Apple Watch Series 11 savings.

While a presumably improved Apple Watch Series 12 is not far on the horizon, I don't think it would be very wise for bargain hunters to snub this killer new promotion and wait for that device instead, as its prices could well go up compared to the Series 11 without many notable internal upgrades or design alterations being brought to the table.

Of course, those are mere assumptions on my part, which is obviously not what can be said about the key strengths highlighted in our comprehensive Apple Watch Series 11 review after four months of daily use. Those include excellent overall performance, silky smooth software, and industry-leading heart rate monitoring and sleep tracking accuracy, and although the battery life is not ideal (to say the least), the value proposition seems virtually flawless at the time of this writing.

Mint Mobile is now allowing you to get whichever plan you like for either three, six, or 12 months for just $15/mo. If you go for the six-month unlimited service, for instance, you'll now have to pay just $90 upfront instead of $210.
