Finding an excellent Apple Watch deal isn't always possible, but today just happens to be our lucky day.

Today's deal can save you $20 off the watch of your choice, and while it's not a huge discount, it's actually one of the best we've seen on this model so far. Amazon offers free shipping with today's purchase as well. Be sure to shop soon as this deal could sell out at any time!
The new Apple Watch SE is designed to be an entry-level model that includes a bunch of the same features as the Apple Watch Series 6, save for a few key aspects, at a lower price. Its display is 30% larger than that of the Series 3, though it's not always-on like the Series 6, and it's powered by the dual-core S5 chipset from the previous-gen Series 5 meaning it will be future-proofed for many years of software updates.
The Apple Watch SE provides high and low heart rate notifications, irregular heart rhythm notifications, emergency SOS, and fall detection. It also includes a compass and always-on altimeter, as well as water-resistance up to 50m so you can track your swimming workouts or simply rest assured knowing it won't get damaged while washing your hands.
It's worth bearing in mind that the SE can't take an ECG or read your blood oxygen like the flagship Apple Watch Series 6. Check out our guide to the other key Apple Watch SE and Series 6 differences if you need help deciding which is right for your wrist.
If the Series 6 is for you, it is also discounted at Amazon by $50 right now with prices starting at $349. The Apple Watch Series 5 is on sale with $80 off there, too.
