Apple Watch Series 11 drops to $299 with Amazon deal, save $100
Amazon offered the Apple Watch Series 11 42mm GPS model for $299, a $100 discount from the usual $399 price, in a limited-time sale this week. According to multiple deal publications, the price marked a record low for the device and applied to select colors and configurations.
The discount is available on select colors and configurations, with availability varying by option, sources confirmed. Amazon is the primary retailer offering this deal, which has been described by outlets such as 9to5Toys and Mashable as a record low or all-time low for this particular model. The promotion is limited-time, with price changes expected once the sale concludes, according to reports from CNET and AppleInsider.
The $299 price applies specifically to the 42mm GPS aluminum model of the Apple Watch Series 11, down from its regular $399 list price, according to multiple deal publications including MacRumors and AppleInsider.
In addition to the 42mm GPS model, Amazon is also offering discounts on other Series 11 configurations. The 46mm GPS model is listed at $329, reduced from $429, while the 42mm GPS + Cellular aluminum model is priced at $399, down from $499. The 46mm GPS + Cellular version is available for $429, marked down from $529. Some titanium configurations receive smaller discounts, rather than the full $100 off, sources noted. Best Buy has also offered Series 11 discounts, but deal coverage from CNET and AppleInsider indicates the terms and color/model availability differ from Amazon’s offerings. For example, Best Buy’s $299 price cut was limited to a specific colorway of the 42mm model, while Amazon included multiple color options.
Deal tracking sites and publications have recorded the $299 price point recurring multiple times throughout the year. MacRumors reported the sale on April 22, 2026, describing it as a week-long price drop on Amazon. AppleInsider noted the same price on April 17, 2026, and again on February 26, 2026. 9to5Toys reported the reappearance of the $100 discount on March 2, 2026, covering both the 42mm and 46mm base models. These recurring sales suggest the discount is part of a series of periodic promotions rather than a one-time event.
The Apple Watch Series 11 offers health-focused features that have been highlighted in coverage by Gizmodo. These include the ability to monitor heart rhythm and take electrocardiograms (ECGs), detect sleep apnea, and identify signs of hypertension. The watch can also automatically call emergency services in the event of a car crash. Though these features were noted in editorial reports, they were not part of Apple’s official release statements, according to Gizmodo.
The regular starting price for the most affordable Apple Watch Series 11 GPS model is $399, as confirmed by multiple outlets including Mashable, CNET, and AppleInsider. The $299 sale price represents a 25% discount from that figure, according to Mashable and Gizmodo. While CNET characterized the current price as a strong deal, it noted that it may not be the absolute lowest price ever seen for every configuration. Other outlets such as 9to5Toys and AppleInsider described the Amazon price as the best price on record for the relevant models.
Availability of the $299 price is limited to specific colors and case sizes, not the entire Series 11 lineup, sources said. CNET reported that Amazon’s deal included multiple color options for the 42mm model, while AppleInsider noted that one sale covered all seven selections in a roundup, though prices varied by configuration. Some retailer promotions bundled free limited-time Apple Fitness subscriptions with the purchase, according to deal coverage. Because pricing and inventory can change rapidly, deal reporting consistently described the offer as time-sensitive and subject to availability.
The Apple Watch Series 11 represents Apple’s latest generation of smartwatches, continuing the company’s emphasis on health monitoring and connectivity. The recurring discounts on Amazon and other retailers provide consumers with access to these features at prices closer to those of basic watches. Retailers and deal publications will likely continue to track pricing fluctuations as the year progresses.
