If you’re looking for the ultimate gift for the active person in your life or you’re looking to enhance your exercise journey, you’re in luck. Right now, you can buy the Apple Watch Series 11 at Best Buy for $299 (was $399), which is a record low price in the US for the 42mm variety. If you’re in the UK, you can get the Apple Watch Series 11 (46mm) at Amazon for £329 (was £399) – also a record low for this size.

It’s no secret that I’m a fan of the Apple Watch. The Apple Watch Series 11 offers all you could need to encourage you to walk more, work out regularly, and do all those good things in life that you sometimes need some motivation to achieve. It has a durable display, good battery life, and it works well with your iPhone.

Today’s best Apple Watch deal

Our Apple Watch Series 11 review gave it a very respectable four stars out of five, calling it “a mainline Apple Watch that can go the distance.” While it offers “no major performance gains year over year,” it provides a “bigger battery” and a “more durable display that’s still vibrant and rich.”

The addition of watchOS 26 “makes the experience feel fresh and pairs well with new health features, notably Sleep Score”. Understandably, it’s easily the best smartwatch for iPhone. If you can afford more, there’s always the Apple Watch Ultra 3, but for everyone else, this is the best Apple Watch around.

Its improved battery life of 24 hours still isn’t quite up to the standards of some of the best smartwatches (we’re looking at you, Garmin), but it’s more than good enough for most people.

If an Apple Watch Ultra feels too tempting, take a look at the other Apple Watch deals happening right now. If you go on long runs or hikes, you may also want to consider the Garmin deals available today.
