Put an Apple Watch Series 12 on Your Wrist for $49 Off This Prime Day

Save $49:Amazon Prime Day arrives tomorrow, Oct. 6, but we’ve already spotted select iterations of the 42mm Apple Watch Series 12 for $49 off at Amazon – its biggest (and first, really) discount yet. That brings GPS-only models down to just $350, down from their usual price of $399.

Discounts on Apple products are rare, so now is an excellent opportunity to nab these wearable wonders for less. 

Apple Watch Series 12 (GPS): From $350

The Apple Watch Series 12 comes with an aluminum, titanium or ceramic case and multiple band options. The signature square includes an always-on retina display with a bright OLED display. Additionally, you’ll get a longer battery life and 15-minute fast charging.  

Instead of making sweeping changes, Apple focused on improving all included features. Apple includes heart rate variability tracking every 5 minutes, as well as hypertension and sleep apnea tracking, so you can stay on top of all aspects of your health. Cycle tracking, respiratory health and recovery insights are also available. These are all powered by Apple’s S11 chip. 

To customize your experience, you can use single and double-tap gestures, wrist flick gestures and Siri AI. 

This $49 discount makes now a great time to shop, and CNET’s wearables expert Vanessa Hand Orellana says, “It’s one of the few Apple products that didn’t get aprice hike this year, and none of its new health features are locked behind a subscription fee.”

This GPS watch connects to Wi-Fi or your iPhone to let you text, call or listen to music whenever you’re on the go. Best of all, you can explore the great outdoors with peace of mind, knowing that your smartwatch is water-resistant up to 50 meters.  

Alternatives you might like

If you want an Apple Watch on a budget, perhaps the 40mm Apple Watch SE 3 for just $199 at Amazon might do the trick. It’s a last-gen watch, but it’s perfect for tracking your basic health stats, making calls and sending texts. You’ll still save $50 this Prime Day.
