Save $109.02: The Apple Watch Series 6 is (GPS + Cellular, 40mm) is over $100 off at Amazon, dropping multiple colors down to $389.98 as of Nov. 23.
Every Black Friday brings a select few deals that are so good, they seem like an accident. (Remember when Foreo lost $15 million after mistakenly marking a $395 face treatment to $15?)
This Black Friday deal on an Apple Watch at Amazon is a prime example, but we’re not complaining. As of Nov. 23, you can score an Apple Watch Series 6 (GPS + Cellular, 40mm) for less than $400 — a savings of $109.02.
This deal feels particularly magical when you consider that the Apple Watch Series 6 has only been on the market for a little over two months. Aside from very random $14 to $30 discounts here and there, the Series 6 has spent most of its early life at full price. (This is a trend with hot-of-the-press Apple products.) A 22% discount on the top-tier Apple Watch model this early in the game is something only Black Friday could do.
The Series 6 is essentially a clone of the Series 5, but topped off with an SPO2 sensor and a new processor. The Series 6 runs the SPO2 in the background constantly, letting you perform a manual check whenever you want. Blood-oxygen levels can help detect sleep disorders or atrial fibrillation (AFib) and could be a helpful metric to show to your doctor. Other sensors include a heart-rate monitor, ECG sensor, barometer, always-on altimeter, accelerometer, and gyroscope. (Think of the last two as fall detection.)
Despite taking full advantage of a new watchOS, running on a powerful new processor, and displaying everything on an always-on OLED display, the Apple Watch Series 6 doesn’t skimp on battery life. Actually, for the number of things this wrist candy is doing at all times, the fact that it can last as long as 16 hours on one charge is rather spectacular.
