Apple Watch Series 11 Falls to $299 at Major U.S. Retailers

Widespread matching and resale discounts point to a short-term retailer price cycle ahead of Prime Day.

Overview

  • Retailers including Amazon cut the 42mm GPS Series 11 to $299 this week while Best Buy matched those prices during its Apple shopping event.
  • Discounts vary by configuration with the 46mm GPS at about $329 and 42mm GPS+Cell around $399, so savings depend on size and cellular options.
  • Amazon Resale has shown steeper limited-quantity deals on used 'Like New' Series 11 units, with some listings as low as roughly $237.
  • Stock at discounted prices is reported to be low and color or size choices are uneven, making availability the main constraint for buyers.
  • The markdowns coincide with broader Apple-watch discounts — including SE 3 offers and newly listed refurbished Series 11 units from Apple — which could indicate more temporary pre-sales pressure on prices in the coming days.
