The Black Friday sales have officially started! It's a great time to grab a new Apple Watch here in the UK thanks to a swathe of discounts on all of Apple's latest and greatest models.
We're seeing low prices on the Apple Watch SE at Currys, priced at just £179 for the GPS-only 40mm Apple Watch SE, as well as savings on the Series 9, Series 10, and Apple Watch Ultra.
Black Friday is the perfect time to pick up an Apple Watch, all of this year's new models have been released and there won't be any more until September next year. That means the discounts are great, and there are no surprise upgrades on the horizon.

Black Friday Apple Watch deals: FAQs
When will the Black Friday Apple Watch deals start in 2024?
The Black Friday Apple Watch deals have now started for 2024 and will last until Monday, December 2. All the major retailers including Amazon, Argos, Currys, and John Lewis have started their sales already.
That means if you want to save on an Apple Watch, you don't want to hang around now the big day is here.
Is Black Friday the best time to buy an Apple Watch?
Absolutely, Black Friday falls shortly after Apple announces its new Apple Watch models. This means there are discounts to be had on new models like the Series 10 and older models like the Series 9, Ultra 2, and SE. However, it also means that there's no new models coming until later next year, making it the perfect window to buy at a discount.
What Black Friday Apple Watch deals should I expect?
Now the deals have started, we're seeing deals on basically every Apple Watch model going. Older models like the Series 9 and SE are more heavily discounted, while the Series 10 and Ultra 2 feature more marginal savings.
Apple itself is offering a gift card of £40 when you buy a Watch SE at full price, but this isn't a particularly good deal unless you're desperate for one of the best Apple Watch bands. Check out my colleague Stephen Warwick's piece on why you should buy an Apple Watch somewhere else this Black Friday, and take his word for it: he used to work for Apple!
