Apple Watch Series 1 is now available from $198 shipped ahead of Black Friday + Series 2 gift card promotions

from $198

Update (11/24 8:30am): Target’s Black Friday promotion now offers Apple Watch Series 1 for as little as $198 shipped (Reg. $269).

Macy’s opened its Black Friday promotion by taking just over $69 off Apple Watch Series 1, bringing prices down to $199.99 for the 38mm model and $229.99 for the 42mm rendition. Free shipping is available in both instances. This is the first notable discount that we’ve seen on Series 1 since it was announced earlier this fall but we are expecting Target to list it at $2 less later this week.

Apple Watch Series 1 features an upgraded dual-core processor (same as Series 2) that brings faster performance to watchOS and third-party apps. Additional features include fitness tracking, heart rate monitoring, notifications from your iPhone and more. Learn all about the new Series 1 features and how it compares to other models in our hands-on walk-through.

Prefer a Series 2 Apple Watch? We’re not expecting to see any straight cash discounts this week but Kohl’s is throwing in $105 worth of Kohl’s Cash (like a gift card) with your purchase. This promotion is now live, if you’re interested.
