For example, the 42mm Apple Watch Series 11 with GPS is even cheaper than it was a few days ago, with a fresh $70 discount that brings the 2025 model down to $329 at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. For larger wrists (or those who just want a bigger watch), the 46mm model with GPS costs $359 (also $70 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target.Apple Watch Series 11 (42mm, GPS)$329$39918% off$329$329 at Amazon$329 at Walmart$329 at Best BuyApple Watch Series 11 (46mm, GPS)$359$42916% off$359$359 at Amazon$359 at Walmart$359 at Best BuyThe Apple Watch Series 11 improves upon the excellent Apple Watch Series 10 with small but welcome improvements that might make it worth buying for you. For instance, it’s Apple’s slimmest smartwatch to date, with a display that the company claims is twice as durable and more scratch-resistant. Battery life has increased up to 24 hours per charge on the GPS / Wi-Fi model — if you instead opt for the more costly LTE model, you’ll get a watch with a power-efficient 5G modem that won’t drain the battery too quickly.RelatedThese great Cyber Monday tech deals will likely be gone tomorrowThese are my picks for the best Cyber Monday deals on Garmin watchesHow to choose an Apple WatchAnd, of course, the Series 11 keeps everything we loved about its predecessor. The wide-angle OLED display is still a stunner and easy to read at a glance, and performance remains snappy thanks to Apple’s S10 SiP chip. It also includes a wide range of health features, including FDA-cleared hypertension notifications and sleep apnea detection, along with EKGs and blood oxygen measurements. You also get access to watchOS 26 features like Sleep Score, the wrist-flick gesture, and even the ability to use the Notes app on your wrist. Plus, fast-charging rounds things out, letting you charge the Series 11 from zero to 80 percent capacity in just 30 minutes.Read our Apple Watch Series 11 review.Verge DealsSign up for Verge Deals to get deals on products we’ve tested sent to your inbox weekly.Email (required)Sign UpBy submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice.

The Apple Watch Series 11 is currently available at a reduced price, offering a significant discount of $70 compared to its Black Friday pricing. This promotion applies to both the 42mm GPS model and the 46mm GPS model, making them accessible at $329 and $359 respectively, at retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. The reduction represents a substantial price cut, making this particular iteration of the smartwatch a more attractive proposition for consumers.

The key advancements highlighted by Apple include the Series 11’s status as their slimmest wearable yet. Furthermore, the company boasts of a display that is twice as durable and more scratch-resistant compared to its predecessor, the Series 10. The extended battery life, up to 24 hours on the GPS/Wi-Fi model, with an option for a 5G-enabled LTE version optimizing battery performance, addresses a common concern for smartwatch users.

Beyond the core improvements, the Series 11 retains many of the features that made the Series 10 a successful product. The wide-angle OLED display delivers a crisp and vibrant visual experience, and the S10 SiP chip ensures snappy performance. Crucially, the watch maintains a comprehensive suite of health features, including FDA-cleared hypertension notifications and sleep apnea detection, complemented by EKG functionality and blood oxygen measurements.

The watchOS 26 ecosystem further enhances the experience, offering functionalities such as the Sleep Score metric, the wrist-flick gesture for navigation, and the ability to utilize the Notes app directly from the watch. The inclusion of fast-charging capabilities allows for a rapid return to full charge, providing convenience for users.

The promotional price drop emphasizes the Apple Watch Series 11’s compelling value proposition. While representing a later model, improvements in durability, battery life, and performance alongside the existing feature set make this watch a worthwhile consideration for those interested in the Apple Watch ecosystem. The retailer price reductions bring the watch increasingly closer to entry-level smartwatch prices, making it more accessible to a broader range of consumers.
