The Apple Watch Series 10 is already $30 off at Walmart, but it'll soon drop to $349 for the first time
Black Friday is still a few weeks away, but some retailers are offering seasonal savings much earlier. The new Apple Watch Series 10, released in September, is already one of the items seeing early holiday savings. The Watch Series 10 is discounted by 8% at Amazon and Walmart in the Jet Black model, so you can swoop one up for $369 (save $30). You can save $20 at both retailers on the same watch in the Light Blush or Denim sport band model, too. Best Buy does not currently have any offers on the watch, but it may soon.

But this deal is about to get better thanks to Walmart’s upcoming Black Friday Deals event. Walmart+ members will be able to access first-time $50 savings on the Watch Series 10 starting Nov. 11 at 12 p.m. ET (that’s Monday, folks). That means you’ll be able to get the Watch Series 10 for just $349. This offer will open with early access to Walmart+ members at 12 p.m. ET, and to all customers at 5 p.m. ET.
If you aren’t a Walmart+ member yet, you’re in luck. Annual Walmart+ subscriptions are on sale for $49 (or 50% off) through Dec. 2.
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 and 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 pretty 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 this holiday season, don’t miss a chance to snag early Black Friday savings on the model right now, or take advantage of Walmart’s upcoming offer.
