If you’ve been counting down to Black Friday and hoping for a deal on an Apple Watch, there’s no time like the present: Walmart recently launched its earlyBlack Friday tech deals, and the rarely discounted Apple Watch Series 11 is currently $100 off, bringing the 42mm GPS model down to $299 (originally $399). The 46mm GPS model is $329 (originally $429), while the GPS + Cellular versions start at $399 and are also $100 off.

Though it has been supplanted by the Series 12, released earlier this fall, the Series 11 is still a great buy. It lasts up to 24 hours, making it a great option for everyday use and sleep tracking, and a 15-minute charge provides around eight hours of use. It has a strong selection of health features, including wrist temperature sensing, sleep score, ECG, heart-rate monitoring, and hypertension notifications, as well as detailed workout tracking. Compared with the Series 10, this aluminum model’s Ion-X display is twice as scratch-resistant. It’s also water-resistant to 50 meters.
While it doesn’t have the Series 12’s new processor or updated health-tracking features, the Apple Watch Series 11 is a great pick for your first Apple Watch or as an upgrade from an older model, such as the Series 8. Its large display, durability, and versatile staple features deliver the core Apple Watch experience at a more affordable price, especially if you don’t want Apple’s latest Audio Intelligence features.
Black Friday FAQs
When is the best time of the year to save the most?
Prime Day andBlack Friday are the two best times of the year to get the best deals on most purchases. Of course, depending on what you’re shopping for, you might find other opportunities throughout the year, but in general, Prime Day and Black Friday have the best sales.
What do you think so far?
Are Cyber Monday deals better than Black Friday?
Black Friday used to be bigger for major retailers and more expensive tech and appliances, while Cyber Monday was better for cheaper tech and gave smaller businesses a chance to compete online. Nowadays, though, the distinction is almost meaningless. Every major retailer will offer sales on both days, and the smart move is to know what you want, do your research, or refer to guides like our Black Friday and Cyber Monday coverage that have done all the vetting for you.
