If you want to get your health and wellness goals in check for 2025, now’s a great chance to scoop up one of Apple’s handy watches for its best price yet. You can get the newest Apple Watch Series 10 for $100 off or only $299 at most major retailers before the spring season. These 25% off savings can be found on both the 42mm and 46mm models, as well as at several retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy.

I’ve been covering Apple Watch sales for nearly two years at ZDNET, and I don’t recommend waiting to buy any model watch if you’re in the market. Deals typically sell out quickly, as do band sizes and color options. This model may drop in price later in the summer as we inch closer to September, but it’s been selling for $50-$70 off since October last year.

That makes this new $100-off deal quite good. Not only is it the lowest price I’ve seen the Watch Series 10 sell for since its release, but it directly edges out the $70-off savings I saw during the 2024 Black Friday sales.
You can shop these savings at several retailers. The 42mm Watch Series 10 sells for $299 while the larger 46mm model sells for $329, a $100 savings on both display sizes.

The newest Apple Watch Series 10 is a step up from last year’s Series 9 and is the best model you can buy behind the Apple Watch Ultra 2.
This year is the 10th anniversary of the Apple Watch Series, and Apple gave the Series 10 a new look to celebrate. The Series 10 has a larger screen size, a thinner build, a new sleep apnea detection feature, and a new finish. ZDNET’s Matthew Miller tested the Watch Series 10 in October and was impressed with its latest features.

“After trying the new Jet Black 46mm Apple Watch Series 10, I wouldn’t go as far as to say it beats the Watch Ultra 2, but the newer model certainly offers compelling features that will likely appeal to most users. Here’s what I liked about the latest Apple Watch and what could be done better going into next year,” Miller says in his review.
If you’re looking to get or gift the Watch Series 10 — don’t miss a chance to snag savings on this model now.
How I rated this deal
Based upon ZDNET’s detailed rating system, this 25% off deal corresponds to a 3/5 Editor’s deal rating. However, I’ve been covering Apple Watch sales extensively for the last two years, including during the busiest sale events of the year (Black Friday, Prime Day, and more). The Watch Series 10 has been available for $50-$70 off for most of 2024 and into early 2025. These $100 savings are a first-time-ever offer, and drop the watch to its new lowest-price-ever. I popped this deal up to a 4/5 Editor’s deal rating. It’s genuinely a great offer and one of the best I expect to see until we inch closer to summer sales.
Apple Watch deals tend to be pretty precarious, but the Watch Series 10 has been available for $70 off for quite some time. Based on my knowledge, I expect this $100 offer to last a few days, especially during Best Buy’s Tech Fest sale and Amazon’s likely incoming spring sale.
