Why we like it
If you’ve been holding out for a discount on Apple’s newest watch, Amazon just knocked $49.01 off the 42mm Apple Watch Series 12. That brings it down to $349.99 from $399 — not a huge markdown, but a welcome discount on a watch that just launched.
The Series 12 has an S11 chip, redesigned health sensors with continuous heart-rate tracking, and a new readiness score. Our hands-on coverage takes a closer look at what’s new. If those upgrades are what you’ve been waiting for, you can pick up the newest model without paying full price.
Otherwise, take a look at the Series 11 deal at Target before checking out. At $259.99, it’s $90 less. And if $200 is your ceiling, the Apple Watch SE 3 is $199 at Amazon.

The biggest reason we like it? Battery life. In Mashable’s Apple Watch Series 11 review, Senior Editor Stan Schroeder found that it easily lasted a day and a half on a charge. In one test, he wore it overnight and still had 38 percent battery remaining after 24 hours. That’s useful breathing room if you want to track your sleep without squeezing in a charge before bed.
Schroeder also praised its comfortable fit and bright, vibrant display. The Series 11 wasn’t a dramatic reinvention of the Series 10, but the longer battery life made a real difference in his testing. At $259.99, that’s a much easier upgrade to consider than at full price.
