While Apple's products don't usually get hefty discounts during shopping events, I was excited to see that this Black Friday actually offered plenty of unmissable deals on Apple's smartwatches. For instance, the Apple Watch Series 11 was sweetly discounted by $60 on Amazon, dropping the price to just under $440. Shoppers were also able to score a fantastic deal on the previous generation, as the larger 46mm LTE Apple Watch Series 10 with an aluminum case was $119 off, allowing buyers to grab one for less than $410.
For those with an active lifestyle, the durable Apple Watch Ultra 2 was marked down by a substantial $180 on Amazon, making it available for under $600. Apple users also had the chance to save $50 on the Apple Watch SE 3 and $74 on the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen).

For instance, the rugged Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) saw a straightforward $100 discount on Amazon, dropping it below $550. However, the best deal was through Samsung's official store, where buyers could save up to $300 on the Watch Ultra (2025) with an eligible trade-in.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra (2024) saw an even steeper cut, with a hefty $270 discount on Amazon, bringing the price below $380. For those seeking style, the premium Galaxy Watch 8 Classic was available for $100 off on Amazon and up to $300 off with a trade-in at Samsung's store. The regular Galaxy Watch 8 was also discounted. It was $100 off on Amazon, which allowed shoppers to snag one for under $280.
Those on a budget, on the other hand, could snag the Galaxy Watch 7 for just under $160, after a generous $120 off and the highly affordable Galaxy Watch FE, for less than $160 after a $41 discount.

Which smartwatches get the biggest discounts on Black Friday?
The watches that get the biggest discounts on Black Friday are almost always the older models from Samsung, Apple, and Garmin. Even this year, the best Black Friday smartwatch deals were on the older Galaxy Watch Ultra (2024) and Apple Watch Series 10. The Apple Watch SE 2 and Galaxy Watch 7 also dropped by a huge margin for the event.
Do budget smartwatches go on sale during Black Friday?
Yes, budget smartwatches do go on sale during Black Friday. The Apple Watch SE models are usually discounted for the event, making them perfect for Apple fans on a budget. Another smartwatch that always gets the special deal treatment is the Fitbit Versa 4. Affordable Garmin smartwatches like the Forerunner 55 also get hefty discounts during Black Friday.
Which retailers offer genuine Black Friday smartwatch deals and not inflated prices?
The retailers that offer genuine Black Friday smartwatch deals and not inflated ones are the huge, well-known US stores: Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target. They constantly compete with each other—especially during Black Friday—so their prices are almost always the best and the most honest.
That being said, since there are sometimes third-party merchants who sell through these platforms, some might inflate the price in order to make the discount look bigger. If you want to be extra sure whether the price is inflated or not, you can check out how much the device goes for at the official store or check out the price history using a site like CamelCamelCamel.
