Apple Watch drops to a historic low for Amazon Prime Day — even better than Black Friday

The latest Apple Watch lineup just plummeted in price. Amazon has marked down the Apple Watch Series 11 from £399 to just £317, and the Watch SE 3 has fallen from £219 to just £199 as part of its Prime Day deals. Both of these price cuts drop these Apple Watch models to their lowest ever prices. For comparison, the Series 11 was only on sale for £379 during Black Friday. These wearables were released this past September and come with several new features, including longer battery life, advanced health monitoring, better durability, and more.To take advantage of the deals, you'll need to be an Amazon Prime member.

For starters, the Series 11 features a major upgrade in durability. Apple has introduced Ionex glass — its strongest glass yet — combined with a special ceramic coating that bonds to the glass at the atomic level. This makes the watch twice as scratch-resistant as before, meaning it can better handle daily bumps, scrapes, and active lifestyles without showing wear.For the first time, Apple Watch is also offering 5G cellular connectivity. This means faster internet speeds and better coverage when you're away from your phone. The new 5G system is also more power-efficient, using less battery while providing better performance. You will need to purchase a separate model if you want the 5G connection. While it is marked up to a slightly higher price point (£469), we also spotted it on sale for £399. In terms of health, Apple Watch can now detect high blood pressure (hypertension). Using the built-in heart sensor, the watch analyses how your blood vessels respond to heartbeats over 30-day periods. If it spots patterns suggesting high blood pressure, it will alert you.This is significant because high blood pressure affects 1.3 billion people worldwide and often has no obvious symptoms - earning it the nickname silent killer. Apple expects to notify over one million people with undiagnosed hypertension in the first year alone. The feature will be available in 150 countries after regulatory approval.The new Sleep Score feature gives you a detailed analysis of your sleep quality. It looks at factors like:How long you sleptWhether you went to bed at consistent timesHow often you woke up during the nightTime spent in different sleep stagesBased on these factors, you get a score and specific suggestions for improving your sleep. The feature was developed using data from 5 million nights of sleep and guidance from sleep experts worldwide.The Series 11 now offers 24-hour battery life, allowing you to wear it all day and all night to track sleep and health metrics continuously.The watch comes in Jet Black, Silver, Rose Gold, and a new Space Grey, all made from 100 recycled aluminium. Premium titanium options are available in Natural, Gold, and Slate colours, also made from recycled materials.On the other hand, the Apple Watch SE 3 brings many high-end features to Apple's more affordable watch line.For the first time, the SE has an always-on display, meaning you can see the time and watch face without raising your wrist or tapping the screen.The SE 3 also includes Apple's S10 chip — its most powerful watch processor — enabling new features that weren't possible before.You can now control the watch with simple handle gestures like double-tap and wrist flick, making it easier to use when your other hand is busy.Like the Series 11, the SE 3 adds several new health features:Wrist temperature sensing for women's health tracking and general health monitoringSleep apnea notifications to detect potential breathing problems during sleepSleep Score (same as Series 11) for detailed sleep quality analysisThe SE 3 now supports fast charging, charging up to twice as fast as the previous model. Just 15 minutes of charging provides up to 8 hours of use.You can now play music or podcasts directly through these watches' speakers when you don't have AirPods available.
