The Amazon Prime Day sales don't officially start until next week, but we've already seen a fantastic deal on the best Apple Watch for most people. 

The Apple Watch SE 2, the cheapest and most popular Apple Watch around, is usually priced at $249.99. Right now, however, you can get it for $189.99, which is almost the lowest it's ever been. It was once briefly lowered to $179.99, but there's no guarantee you'll see that again, even once the Amazon Prime Day Apple Watch deals get into full swing. 

This is the smaller 40mm Bluetooth-only model, which means you'll need to connect to your iPhone to access the internet rather than use LTE. The larger 44mm model is also on sale, down to $219.99 from $279.99

Check out both deals in full below. Not in the US? Scroll down for the best Apple Watch deals in your area.

Perhaps the best Apple Watch for most people, in its smaller Bluetooth-only 40mm size, is now down 24% at Amazon in its Starlight colorway. If you're an Apple user with smaller wrists, this is the best of the very early deals. 

Apple Watch SE 2nd Gen (44mm):$279$239 at Amazon

Apple Watch SE 2nd Gen (44mm): was $279 now $239 at Amazon
The 44mm model is better for larger wrists. While this is still Bluetooth-only, a 21% discount certainly isn't to be sniffed at when it comes to Apple products, which aren't often this significantly discounted. 

The Apple Watch SE 2 was labelled "the best Apple Watch for most people" in our review, offering most of the best Apple Watch and watchOS features in a more affordable package. 

It gets even more affordable during busy deals periods, but it's unlikely to be further discounted for Prime Day – we believe this is it. So if you want an Apple Watch SE 2, act now, or head to our best Apple Watch deals page to shop around for other models.
