New Prices vs. Previous Tags
If you were eyeing the 42mm GPS version, it’s now $299, down from $399. For those wanting a larger display, the 46mm GPS model has similarly been marked down to $329 from its original $429.([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/20/apple-watch-series-11-discount-2/)) These discounts match across both Best Buy and Amazon, though inventory is getting sparse—interested buyers may want to act fast.([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/20/apple-watch-series-11-discount-2/))
Where These Deals Stack Up
These $100 price drops bring these Watch offerings to near their second-best pricing ever. They trail the all-time lowest deals by only $20–$30.([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/20/apple-watch-series-11-discount-2/)) While those past discounts were brief or limited in options, the current sale spans multiple sizes and includes cellular configurations.([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/20/apple-watch-series-11-discount-2/))
This kind of discounting follows a broader push among retailers to trim Apple Watch inventory ahead of new models or seasonal launches. The Series 11, despite being relatively new, is already seeing pricing softens that signal approaching refreshes or higher-than-expected stock levels.
For those debating between buying now or waiting, these savings present strong value. If you were planning to pick up the 42mm model, that $299 price is one of the best seen this year. The 46mm model, while not quite at its lowest historical price, is still staggeringly close. If cellular features aren’t a must-have, the GPS versions are giving the biggest bang for the buck. Before buying, though, check local retailers—stocks may vary quickly.
