We know a good smartwatch when we see one. The high performance of the Apple Watch Series 11 was not a surprise at all. CNET's Jeff Carlson found it "remarkably similar to the Series 10." That means if you opt for the now previous-gen Series 10, you're really not missing much. The Series 10 is still excellent. It's also now far less expensive and helps you keep tabs on your health. Most retailers and carriers are starting to run out of stock. But that just means solid discounts are popping up.
If you're looking to kick off healthier habits this year (it's not too late), the Apple Watch Series 10 is a smart move. It delivers many of the same fitness, health and everyday features, but now at a much lower price as it's a previous-gen model. Our shopping experts have found deals that save you up to $200, with even bigger savings possible if you trade in an old device. Just don't wait too long -- stock is thinning out fast.

Best Apple Watch Series 10 deals
We'll continue to update the list below with all the best Apple Watch Series 10 deals across the major retailers and carriers.
Amazon is offering up to $100 off the jet black aluminum case with an ink sport loop Apple Watch Series 10, bringing the starting price of the 46mm version down to $329. Just note that availability is somewhat limited, and prices vary by color and size combination. Also, many models are sold by a third party, which we don't recommend buying from. Double-check before purchasing.
Back Market is a great place to get used, professionally refurbished tech like the Series 10. Prices for this verified refurbished watch start at $226, and you can save even more if you have another device to trade in.
When you buy an Apple Watch Series 10 at Verizon and trade in an older device, you can get up to $300 back in bill credits. The exact amount will depend on what device you trade in, but any Apple Watch Series 3 or newer will net you at least some credit. Verizon will also accept select models from non-Apple brands, such as Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel devices. Note that you'll have to either open a line or upgrade an existing one to take advantage of this offer.
If you don't want to trade in another device, you can also save $250 when you purchase the watch online. The only catch is you have to have a new line for the watch, but it can be on any plan so it's a pretty decent offer. That would drop the price of the watch down to $149.
Walmart is offering $100 off select configurations of the Apple Watch Series 10 in the 46mm size. You'll also receive four free months of Apple Music and Apple Arcade, as well as three free months of Apple Fitness Plus, if you're a new or returning subscriber.
Note that stock and availability can vary, with many colors and configurations currently out of stock.
