Gift an Apple Watch SE for 24% off at Walmart ahead of the holidays

Apple’s popular watch wearables are available in several models, and the Watch SE (2nd Gen) is still the latest base model watch to hit the market. Despite Apple unveiling the new Watch Series 10 in September, the SE did not get an upgrade as originally rumored. And while it’s not packed with all the features of the Series 9 or 10, it offers great value for those looking to track basic health and fitness metrics, keep in contact with ease, and benefit from connection to the Apple ecosystem. 

Right now, you can grab Apple’s most up-to-date base model, the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen), for $60 off its regular price at Walmart.

This isn’t quite as low as we saw the watch drop during Black Friday sales (about $40 lower), but may be the lowest we see through the holiday season.

If you’re not looking for the advanced features offered in the newer Series 8, 9, or Ultra and Ultra 2 models, the watch SE is a great buy with all the essentials. You’d be surprised how well this model compares to Apple’s other contenders. 

The SE offers users up to 18 hours of battery life and 32GB of internal storage, and it does offer some of the same health and safety features as the Series 8 and the Ultra, though it doesn’t track blood oxygen, do ECG heart checks, or check your temperature.

During Black Friday sales last year, I upgraded from the Series 3 Apple Watch to the 40mm SE model, and I’ve never been happier with a tech purchase. The SE has all the necessary features without the complicated bells and whistles I didn’t want (or need) — yet it still offers a crisp display, fast response rate, and seamless use. It’s perfect for tracking my workouts and walks, and for quickly answering texts, emails, and more.
