Read our review.Read More$199 at Amazon (40mm, GPS)$199 at Walmart (40mm, GPS)$229 at Amazon (44mm, GPS)The Apple Watch SE 3 is a huge technical step forward compared to its predecessor, and puts it more in line with the Series 11 and Ultra 3. One of the biggest changes is that the SE 3 has an always-on display, so you can check the time (or your notifications) without tapping the screen or raising your wrist. It also received a processor bump to the current-generation S10, which enables on-device Siri, support for the double tap and wrist flick gestures, and improved voice isolation on phone calls. On the durability front, Apple says the SE 3 is four times more resistant to cracks than the previous-generation SE.RelatedHow to choose an Apple WatchThe best fitness trackers and watches we’ve testedYou can’t take an EKG with the Apple Watch SE 3 like you can on the Series 11 and Ultra 3, but it does have a temperature sensor that enables retrospective ovulation tracking and better sleep tracking. The SE 3 can also detect breathing disturbances, and it will send a notification if it thinks you may have sleep apnea. Apple says the SE 3’s battery can last up to 18 hours, and we made it through a 13-hour day with 27 percent left in the tank during our tests. The Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3 will last longer, but they’re bigger and heavier. The higher-end models also have larger displays, a blood oxygen sensor, and hypertension detection, so keep that in mind. We consider the Apple Watch SE to be the best model for most people, and it’s an especially good choice on sale.

It’s one of our favorite budget-friendly video doorbells, and has a 1:1 aspect ratio that allows you to see a person’s entire body, or keep an eye on packages left at your door. You’ll receive notifications each time it detects motion, and you can create customizable motion zones to avoid getting pinged all the time. If you have a Ring Home subscription (starting at $4.99 a month / $49.99 a year), you can review 180 days worth of video clips in the cloud, and get person and package alerts.If you’d like to make homemade ice cream as your holiday dessert, Ninja’s Creami Deluxe is $199.99 ($50 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. The ice cream maker has 11 functions (including programs for gelato, frozen yogurt, sorbet, and milkshakes), and comes with two 24-ounce tubs. You can create a dual-layer ice cream with a different mix-in on the top and bottom, or dedicate the entire container to a single flavor. Be mindful that you’ll need to freeze your ice cream base overnight, so you’ll need to plan your dessert making in advance.JBL’s Aesthetics 300 is a stylish, great sounding, battery-powered speaker that supports AirPlay, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant, and you can grab it for $299.95 ($150 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. The retro-looking speaker also supports Bluetooth, has a 3.5mm aux jack for connecting wired sources, and a USB-C port that lets you play WAV or MP3 files off an external hard drive. The Aesthetics 300 has dedicated knobs to adjust its Bass and Treble (we found its standard EQ could be a little vocal heavy).

The Apple Watch SE 3 is currently available at its Cyber Monday price point of $199 and $229, representing a $50 discount, primarily through Amazon and Walmart. This model represents a significant technical advancement compared to its predecessor, largely due to the inclusion of the S10 chip and a permanently on-display (always-on) feature. This feature allows users to quickly glance at the time or notifications without needing to activate the screen or raise their wrist. The S10 chip enables on-device Siri requests, doubles as a double-tap and wrist-flick gesture controller, and improves voice isolation during phone calls, providing a more refined user experience.

Beyond the core functionality, notable upgrades include a temperature sensor which enables retrospective ovulation tracking and improved sleep tracking, and a monitoring feature that detects breathing disturbances, prompting notifications if potential sleep apnea is detected. Apple also emphasizes enhanced durability, stating the SE 3 is four times more resistant to cracks compared to the previous generation. While the higher-end Series 11 and Ultra 3 models offer additional features such as an EKG, blood oxygen detection, and hypertension monitoring, the SE 3 remains a compelling option, particularly given its reduced size and weight. The battery life has been reported to last up to 18 hours, though this varies with usage.

Alongside the watch, several other noteworthy deals are available. Ring’s Battery Doorbell is discounted to $49.99 (a $50 savings) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, which is its lowest price to date. This doorbell is praised for its 1:1 aspect ratio, providing a complete view, and supports features like motion zone customization and integrates with Ring’s Home subscription service. Another featured deal is Ninja’s Creami Deluxe ice cream maker, which is $199.99 (a $50 reduction) across Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. The Creami offers 11 distinct functions, including programs for gelato, frozen yogurt, sorbet, and milkshakes, and permits for creating dual-layer ice cream with varied mix-ins. Lastly, JBL’s Aesthetics 300 speaker is available for $299.95 (a $150 discount) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, a retro-styled speaker that supports AirPlay, Alexa, and Google Assistant, along with Bluetooth and USB-C connectivity.

These deals collectively illustrate the breadth of technological advancements available at accessible price points, offering consumers a range of choices depending on their specific needs and priorities. The Apple Watch SE 3 represents a smart investment for those seeking a functional and upgraded smartwatch experience on a budget.
