One of the hottest items on tap for Black Friday 2024 is the new Apple Watch Series 10 that just released back in September. Walmart got off to the races this year in its early Black Friday sale that went live last week (and is still live) with the lowest prices we have tracked to date across the lineup just before Amazon decided to get in on the action and match all of those deals while also offering new all-time low pricing on the GPS + Cell models as well as the higher-end Titanium variants. However, in our continued effort to uncover the best possible prices on everything, it now looks there is another deal on the horizon for Apple’s Series 10 wearable that undercuts both of them.
Best Black Friday Apple Watch Series 10 deals – here’s what you need to know
We have been combing through hundreds of pages of early and leaked Black Friday ad scans this year, just like we do every year, in order to surface the best prices on the most sought-after gear, Apple Watch Series 10 included. While it would have once seemed the $50 discounts that are now live at Amazon and Walmart might be the max savings we see on the new Cupertino wearables, as we were yet to see anything advertised for less…Staples has come out of the woodwork with an even lower price.
There are, however, some caveats to consider here though.
Firstly, let’s take stock of the new all-time lows that are live right now across the lineup in Amazon’s early Black Friday sale for reference:
- 42mm Apple Watch Series 10 $349 (Reg. $399)
- 46mm Apple Watch Series 10 $379 (Reg. $429)
- 42mm Apple Watch Series 10 GPS+Cell $449 (Reg. $499)
- 46mm Apple Watch Series 10 GPS+Cell $479 (Reg. $529)
- 42mm Apple Watch Series 10 GPS+Cell $649 (Reg. $699)
- Titanium model
- 46mm Apple Watch Series 10 GPS+Cell $679 (Reg. $749)
- Titanium model
As you can see above, every configuration and just about every color in the lineup is now seeing a solid $50 price drop at Amazon, all of which are the lowest prices we have tracked to date from any retailer. All things considered, scoring a brand new Apple Watch Series 10 at a price like any of these mentioned above is a solid deal by our standards, but Staples is landing with an advertised price drop on the most affordable end of the lineup that, at least as of right now, has everyone beat.
Starting this Sunday, Staples is reportedly going to be offering the 46mm Apple Watch Series 10 down at $329 shipped. That’s a massive $100 in savings off the regular $429 price tag and undercutting every retailer we have seen thus far by $50.
The thing is…this deal is listed as only being available in-store. Which also means, you’re going to both have to have a Staples near by and likely get there early in the day before stock sells out to land this particularly notable deal.
Now, as far as we can tell, Staples has either changed the listing for Series 10 in its ad to read the full $429 MSRP, or there’s an unfortunate typo in it, or this price is only available in select locations – it appears most of the internet is suggesting the 46mm will be $100 there.
The silver lining for folks that aren’t willing to take a chance in store starting this Sunday at Staples is, well Amazon. And Best Buy. And Walmart. And Target.
It be would incredibly shocking to see any of the big four allow Staples to have the best price on one of the hottest Black Friday deals of the season without getting in on the action. Because the Staples deal is reportedly just an in-store offer, there is a chance the other retailers won’t follow suite on Sunday November 17, but it could happen. It, perhaps is more likely we see the full $100 price drops on November 21 when Amazon is scheduled to launch its Black Friday Week sale, or maybe not until Thanksgiving Day.
Either way, this Staples deal is signaling a major drop on at least one configuration of Apple’s new Series 10 for Black Friday. But quite frankly, we are now feeling quite optimistic that we will see something closer to $100 off across the entire lineup as soon as this Sunday and, at the latest, on Black Friday 2024 this year.
