Get a Brand New Apple Watch Series 10 with LTE for Less Than a Base Model Series 11
With the recent Apple Watch Series 11 release, it’s not surprising that the previous generation Apple Watch Series 10 is seeing its biggest price drop ever ahead of Black Friday. Walmart is currently offering a 42mm Apple Watch Series 10 with LTE cellular connectivity for just $299. Alternatively Amazon has the same watch in the larger 46mm case size for $359 shipped. Both models are considerably less expensive than the base model Apple Watch Series 11.

If you own an iPhone, the Apple Watch is indisputably the best smartwatch for you. It’s stylish, boasts excellent build quality, excels as both a fitness tracker and smartwatch, and seamlessly integrates with your iPhone. The Apple Watch Series 10 is no longer the most current model, but it’s still a relevant watch since the Series 11’s upgrades are incremental. The Series 11 improvements include a longer battery life, more scratch resistant watch face, 5G support on the cellular models, and that’s about it. Performance wise the two watches are pretty much identical. An Apple Watch Series 11 with the same specs currently costs $490-$520. It’s for you to decide whether that $160-$190 upcharge is worth it.
Can you use an Apple Watch with Android phones?
Although it’s technically possible to use an Apple Watch with an Android phone, we wouldn’t recommend it. Apple made it so that a lot of the functionality of the Apple Watch requires a smartphone with an iOS operating system. There are some workarounds to implement some of the features, but for the average person, the hassle isn’t worth it. If you’re absolutely intent on getting an Apple Watch, then getting an iPhone first would be the best option.
