The annual Black Friday event will officially kick off on November 24, 2023, but most retailers will be offering deals as early as Monday, or even earlier. This can help you scout ahead on the big day.
As always, a lot of high-tech products and devices, all brands combined, will be subject to discounts, more or less interesting.
On the Apple side, for example, you will find its iPhone, iPad or even Apple Watch at a reduced price at retailers, since the brand instead provides an App Store & iTunes gift card for any purchase of a product on the Apple Store.
To best prepare you for this new edition of Black Friday and take advantage of it in a smart way, we present offers already available on the Apple Watch, and those likely to be presented on the big day.
Black Friday at Apple
Until now, Apple has never subjected its recent devices to discounts during Black Friday. For this, it instead relies on its partners and resellers such as Amazon, Boulanger, Mediamarkt and Fnac.
Where to find Black Friday deals on Apple Watches?
If you’re looking to get an Apple Watch for the holiday season, for yourself or as a gift, then Black Friday is the best time to do it. In 2021 and 2022, there were deals on the Apple Watch, especially on older versions.
On D-Day, we’ll list the best deals below, including on the Series 8, which has been discontinued by Apple but may still be available at retailers.
Be careful, there are often discounts on refurbished models, so be sure to check if the great deal you think you’re getting is really one.
Current deals on Apple Watch Series 9, SE (2022) and Ultra 2
Given that these are recently released devices (September 2023), it will be difficult for you to find them on sale… Here is what we have spotted so far:
The Apple Watch Series 9 is sold on Gimbo.fr at $434.95 for the 41 mm version, so you make a (small) saving of $14.05.
As for the Apple Watch SE 2, at the same retailer, it is $259.95, compared to $279 at Amazon or Apple.
Gimbo.fr strikes again with a $20 reduction on the Ultra 2 model, where it is at $879.95, instead of $899 elsewhere.
For bigger discounts, you’ll have to wait a few more months.
Current offers at Amazon
On Amazon, almost every generation of Apple Watch is on sale, at competitive prices, on sale or not.
Generally speaking, as with iPhones, the American giant presents its best offers on iterations of Apple Watch that are at least a year old, like the Ultra, Series 8 and 7. To give you an idea, here are a few:
Current offers from other retailers
This year again, distributors such as Boulanger, Fnac, Rakuten, Mediamarkt and Cdiscount will be offering a wide selection of attractive offers on Apple products.
Some of them allow you to save up to $180 on the purchase of a new Apple smartwatch, depending on the model chosen. Here is a small list of current promotions:
