Buying older Apple devices is a great way to save on an upgrade. The only trick is finding them in stock: Apple usually discontinues its last-gen models as soon as their successors arrive, and once third-party retailers sell their remaining inventory, they’re pretty much gone for good.

With that in mind, I was surprised to catch the Apple Watch Series 11 in stock and on sale at Target. It’s marked down to $349.99 there in the lead-up to next week’s Circle Deal Days event — a 13% discount on its usual sticker price of $399. Take your pick from three styles of the 42mm model:

• Rose gold aluminum case with light blush Sport Band

• Jet black aluminum case with black Sport Band

• Space gray aluminum case with black Sport Band

This deal makes the Series 11 a full $50 cheaper than the new Apple Watch Series 12, which debuted last month during the company’s “Surprise and Shine” iPhone event. The Series 12 has more durable glass, faster charging, upgraded heart rate sensors, and a speedier S11 chip that supports new Readiness and Audio Intelligence tools. But otherwise, they’re identical and both run on watchOS 27. (Read Mashable’s full review of the Series 11 from last year.)

The Series 11 has been cheaper before — $279 is its all-time low on Amazon — but I wouldn’t wait to see if Target lowers its price any further during its Circle Deal Days sale on Oct. 6 and 7. If anything, it’ll probably sell out there first. The Series 11 was MIA or full price at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart at the time of writing.
