Have you been waiting for the Black Friday sales season to start for the Apple Watch?If you want an Apple Watch but don't want to pay full price ...... Good news for those who have been thinking about it. Right now, early on Black Friday, the Apple Watch is quite affordable.

While supplies last, Amazon is offering the Apple Watch 3 (GPS/38mm) for $169. That's a $30 discount off the standard price of $199, and an overall discount of $110 off the original price of $279 (a historic high according to CamelCamelCamel). This is the lowest price ever for the Apple Watch Series 3. Also, Amazon's sale on the new Apple Watch 6 is still live.

An $80 savings over the Apple Watch SE, the Apple Watch 3 is loaded with the same 18-hour battery life, heart rate monitoring, and sleep tracking tricks. Yes, the Apple Watch 3, which has repeatedly ranked on our Best Smartwatches list, is on our list for good reason.

Of course, if you want a compass and drop detection, you might prefer the SE, but as we explained in our Apple Watch Series 3 review, this is already a great wearable. The fitness tracking features are great, Siri is speedy, and the option to connect Bluetooth earbuds and listen to music is very welcome.

The Apple Watch 3 is a staple of the Black Friday season. The aforementioned Apple Watch 6 is $25 off, but the Apple Watch 3 is less than half that price. If you haven't committed to the Apple Watch yet, it's hard to argue against the 3.
