Samsung’s 49-inch QLED gaming monitor is $300 off today This is a good buy-in if you don’t want to splurge on more expensive models. The older models are still remarkably capable, especially if you’re looking for the common features like health and activity tracking, iPhone notifications and alerts on your wrist, and all the Apple goodness you know and love. We’re a few years removed and the features list on the newer generation is much longer, but don’t let that deter you. It’s a solid entry point if you’ve never owned a smartwatch or an Apple Watch before.Īpple Watch Series 3 (GPS, 42mm) - $179, was $229Īmidst all of these Cyber Monday Apple Watch deals, it’s interesting now to look back at the Apple Watch Series 3 vs. It also features an all-day battery life, which is certainly welcome.

The only thing stopping me is that I found an official in black on clearance at Walmart for $9 2 weeks ago.

Personally I’d avoid the cheap silicone ones and jump at a discounted official band. Eventually I stopped caring about protecting my white one as it was just so much more comfortable. I typically have to move up a notch by days end. It feels significantly cheaper and has a tendency to stretch over the course of a day since it’s much thinner. I tolerated the cheap one for awhile but eventually just couldn’t take it anymore. For a long while I rotated between my official Apple (white) and some cheap black one from Amazon as I’m a tradesperson and found the white was needing daily cleanings.
