With $100 off the current-gen models, there's less reason to pick an older or cheaper model
The Apple Watch Series 11 has just received its first major price cut of 2026, returning to its all-time price low on Amazon.
The 42mm model is $ 299.99, and the 46mm version is $329.99.
The $100 discount brings both sizes to the asking price we last saw in December, when different SKUs of the latest-generation Apple smartwatch sporadically dipped to those levels.
Most importantly, this saving effectively removes the choice between the up-to-date Series 11 and older models, which aren’t too different but have been much cheaper.
This puts it much more in line with watches like the Series 10 and makes it much easier to sell.
Our thoughts from review testing—why we love the Series 11
While we noted in our Apple Watch Series 11 review that it’s more of a metronomic update than a total redesign, it still represents the most polished mid-range version of Apple’s smartwatch yet.
You’re getting the more scratch-resistant display, the always-excellent GPS and heart rate accuracy, and the ability to run the latest software for years to come.
The Series 11 is also the primary vehicle for Apple’s new Hypertension Notifications—a feature now live in 170 regions—which provides passive, long-term health monitoring that older hardware can’t match.
At $299, the Series 11 becomes a much more enticing alternative to the Apple Watch SE 3 or something like a refurbished Series 10)—particularly if you value the peace of mind that comes with the latest health sensors.
As ever with these deals, it’s impossible to know when Amazon will stop the sale. And while it is likely to return to this price even if it shoots back up to its MSRP, we don’t expect it to dip below this until its successor’s release date, around September.
