Black Friday is still a few weeks away, but some retailers are offering seasonal savings much earlier. The new Apple Watch Series 10, released in September, is already one of the items seeing early holiday savings. The Watch Series 10 is now on sale for $349 at Walmart — a discount of $50, the biggest drop we’ve seen so far.

The price drop, part of Walmart’s Black Friday Deals event, first went live for Walmart+ members on Monday afternoon, and live to the general public by Monday evening. This first-time deal on the latest watch is still live, and is sure to be popular ahead of the holiday season. Walmart will be kicking off two other Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, both which include early access for Walmart+ members. If you aren’t a Walmart+ member yet, you’re in luck. Annual Walmart+ subscriptions are on sale for $49 (or 50% off) through Dec. 2.
Plus, if you’d prefer to shop savings elsewhere, Amazon has the same $349 offer on select Series 10 models. Best Buy does not have any active Series 10 offers as of publication of this deal.
The newest Apple Watch Series 10 is a step up from last year’s Series 9, and is the best model you can buy behind the Apple Watch Ultra 2.

This year is the 10th anniversary of the Apple Watch Series, and Apple gave the Series 10 a new look to celebrate. The Series 10 has a larger screen size and thinner build, a new sleep apnea detection feature, and a new finish. ZDNET’s Matthew Miller tested the Watch Series 10 in October and was pretty impressed with its latest features.
“After trying the new Jet Black 46mm Apple Watch Series 10, I wouldn’t go as far as to say it beats the Watch Ultra 2, but the newer model certainly offers compelling features that will likely appeal to most users. Here’s what I liked about the latest Apple Watch and what could be done better going into next year,” Miller says in his review.
If you’re looking to get or gift the Watch Series 10 this holiday season, don’t miss a chance to snag the best early Black Friday savings we’ve seen thus far on this model right now.
