An unannounced $80-off Amazon deal has just dropped the price of the 2nd Gen Apple Watch SE to its lowest in months. It’s been almost since Black Friday and Cyber Week 2024 that we’ve seen a deal this good on the 2nd Gen Apple Watch SE. While the SE is the most budget-friendly Apple Watch, it still packs enough features to make it an amazing deal at just $169.
Deep discounts on current Apple Watch models are rare indeed, and this is the latest iteration of the SE. And while some may call the SE the “entry level” Apple Watch, it comes with most of the essential features of its pricier stablemates, including advanced workout tracking, continuous heart-rate monitoring, and 50-meter water resistance.
Jumping-On Point
If you’re looking to upgrade from an older-model Apple Watch or considering getting one for the first time, the 2nd Gen SE is the perfect jumping-on point, especially when it’s priced at just $169. That’s an entry-level price, but the 2nd Gen SE is anything but. Even before you get to the many health and fitness features, there’s the the durable quality build that Apple is renowned for, and the LTPO OLED Retina display that’s crisp and clear and able to reach 1000 nits of brightness.
The 2nd Gen Apple Watch SE has the same robust 18-hour battery life of the Series 10 Apple Watch, and the same GPS that can come in enormously handy on a hike or bike ride in unfamiliar terrain. Siri voice commands and notifications from your iPhone are as easy to manage with the 2nd Gen SE as they are on the upper-echelon models, and they all run the same watchOS.
Fitness for Less
The reason you look for an Apple Watch in the first place is most likely as a health- and fitness-tracking wearable, and the 2nd Gen SE fits that bill perfectly. The continuous heart-rate monitor gives you notifications for high and low heart rates, irregular rhythm, and low cardio fitness. These all feed into the Vitals app, which also factors in your respiratory rate and sleep duration, since the 2nd Gen SE is also a great sleep tracker.
The 2nd Gen Apple Watch SE is only an “entry level” watch if you compare it to the Series 10 or Apple Watch Ultra 2. On its own, it’s an outstanding everyday smartwatch and a great fitness accessory. The price, however, is definitely entry level right now thanks to Amazon’s 32% off deal that’s brought it down to just $169.
