This year's Amazon Prime Day Apple Watch deals are almost upon us, with Amazon's annual two-day sale event set to kick off on Tuesday, July 11. Prime Day regularly proves a great opportunity to snag discounts on a range of expensive tech products, and we don't expect the 2023 edition to be any different.
We're tracking the best Amazon Prime Day deals elsewhere on TechRadar, but in this guide, we've dedicated our efforts to the deals surrounding Apple's best-selling smartwatches. This year's Prime Day sale will likely focus on Apple's latest and greatest smartwatch, the Apple Watch 8, and we also hope to see discounts offered on the 2022 Apple Watch SE and the pricey Apple Watch Ultra.
Some Apple Watch deals are already live at Amazon in the UK and US, though we can't consider these to be Amazon Prime Day Apple Watch deals just yet. Even so, we've rounded up the best of the current sales below, and if you're looking for other Apple products ASAP, check out our guide to the 4th of July Apple sales.
Today's best deals (US)
Amazon Prime Day doesn't kick off until July 11, but that's not to say the retailer isn't already offering some impressive Apple Watch deals in the US. We've rounded up the best of the bunch below, but fear not: if you don't see a deal for you, we're expecting many more discounts to crop up over the next few days.
Apple Watch 8 (GPS, 41mm), 2022: was$399 now $351 at AmazonThe Apple Watch 8 is one of the best smartwatches you can buy, thanks to its impressive display and new safety and health features, such as fall detection and Emergency SOS. Amazon has the best-selling smartwatch on sale for $351, which isn't the best deal we've ever seen, so you may be better off waiting a few days.
Apple Watch 8 (GPS + Cellular, 41mm), 2022: was $499 now $429 at Amazon
If you want LTE connectivity with your smartwatch, Amazon also has the Apple Watch 8 with Cellular on sale for $429. That's the best deal we've seen this year and $40 more than the record-low price. An Apple Watch with a Cellular plan means you can text, call, get directions, and play music without your iPhone nearby.
Today's best deals (UK)
At the moment, the Apple Watch deals situation isn't quite as rosy in the UK as it is in the US. That said, Amazon is currently offering minor savings on a few different editions the Apple Watch, but as in the US, we expect plenty more Amazon Prime Day Apple Watch deals to crop up over the next few days.
Apple Watch SE, 2022 (GPS, 40mm): was$259 now £249 at AmazonAmazon is offering a small-but-not-insubstantial £10 off the latest Apple Watch SE right now. We've seen this particular watch drop as low as £229 before, so you may be better off holding out until Prime Day proper before purchasing, but if you're in the market for an Apple Watch SE right this second, then this is the best deal you'll find.
Apple Watch 8 (GPS, 41mm), 2022: was£449 now £399 at AmazonJust as in the US, Amazon is offering a great deal on the Apple Watch 8 in the UK right now. Put simply, this is one of the best smartwatches you can buy, offering an impressive display and new safety and health features, such as fall detection and Emergency SOS. We've only seen this particular watch £10 cheaper once before.
Apple Watch 7 (GPS + Cellular, 45mm), 2021: was£649 now £529 at AmazonIf you're after a supersized, GPS and cellular-equipped Apple Watch for a lower-than-usual price, look no further than the Apple Watch 7. In truth, this smartwatch is basically the Apple Watch 6 with a slightly larger screen and the ability to charge faster, but if you value both of those benefits, you're unlikely to find a 45mm Apple Watch 8 for the same price. We could see this deal bettered on Prime Day itself, mind.
Amazon Prime Day Apple Watch deals: FAQs

When will Prime Day Apple Watch deals be available?
Amazon has officially announced that its 2023 Prime Day sale will take place from Tuesday, July 11, to Wednesday, July 12.
While we expect to see the best Prime Day Apple Watch deals during Amazon's two-day sale event, the retailer has released early Prime Day deals, and we'll update this page with Apple Watch offers as soon as they drop.
Do you need Amazon Prime to get these deals?
Prime Day Apple Watch deals do require an Amazon Prime membership; however, the good news is if you aren't already a member, Amazon offers a free 30-day trial in the run-up to its sales event. That means you'll be able to sample the delights of Amazon Prime and make the most of these excellent offers without having to pay for a subscription.
Amazon also isn't the only retailer that will be offering deals during the July event. Online retailers will be getting in on the fun by running competing sales with Apple Watch deals that don't require a membership.
Amazon Prime: 30-day free trial
If you've never signed up before you can get a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime to get access to this year's Prime Day deals. You get the same benefits as paid members, including free delivery, and access to other services such as Prime Video, Prime Music, Prime Gaming and more. You can cancel at any time during the trial to avoid paying the regular fee, which is $14.99 / £8.99 per month.
Amazon Prime Day Apple Watch deals: what to expect
During last year's sale, Apple Watch Prime Day deals focused on the Series 7 and the first-generation Apple Watch SE, but this year's event will be all about Apple's latest smartwatches, the Apple Watch 8 and the 2022 Apple Watch SE.
Both smartwatches were released in October of last year, and have both been popular items during recent sale events. The Apple Watch 8 has dropped as low as $319/ £359 from its MSRP of $399/ £419, and we're hoping that, at this year's Prime Day sale, the price will drop to a new record-low of $309 / £349.
If you're interested in Apple's latest budget smartwatch, the Apple Watch SE, we predict the price will return to $199 / £229, which is a record-low and a fantastic value for an Apple smartwatch.
If you see either smartwatch at these predicted prices, we recommend snapping them up before it's too late. Prime Day Apple deals are some of the most popular offers, and the best deals tend to sell out before the two-day sale ends.
