Best Apple Watch deals for April 2021
Now that the Apple Watch 6 and Watch SE are out, you can expect major savings on the Series 5 this April, plus bargain prices for the Series 4, Series 3 and older models

The Apple Watch is the king of the smartwatch market, but that quality comes at a price.
That changed in late 2020, however, when Apple released the budget-focused Apple Watch SE that costs less than £300, along with the premium Apple Watch Series 6.
The release means that we've started seeing significant discounts on older models, including the Series 5 and Series 4.
If you know where to look, there are some fantastic deals to be had from retailers such as Amazon, John Lewis and Currys PC World. Apple's own Refurb Store offers incredible savings too, and while these are all technically second-hand, Apple's high refurb standard means you'll likely be unable to tell.
In this article, we share the best Apple Watch deals, discounts, and offers, covering the Series 6 and SE as well as older models including the Series 4 and 5, which have been discontinued by Apple, though it still sells the older Series 3.
You may still be able to find the Series 1 and Series 2 online and in high-street stores, and both are capable smartwatches in their own right - but because their components are older they won't offer much future-proofing. Remember they only work with an iPhone, too: no Android here, we're afraid.

What Apple Watch deals are available?
Retailers such as Currys PC World, Argos and John Lewis have some of the strongest offers on Apple Watch all year round. In fact, one of the strongest offers we're seeing now is from Currys PC World, where the 40mm Watch 5 with cellular is just £299 – the lowest it's ever been.
Amazon also sells the Apple Watch, and has been known to offer some of the best savings. If you've found that you're missing out on Amazon's Lightning deals, which run for just a few hours and offer limited stock, we'd recommend signing up for Amazon's 30-day free Prime trial, which will get you access to deals 30 minutes before everyone else.
Plus, you'll get free next-day delivery, as well as access to Prime Instant Video and more.
The best Apple Watch deals
These are the best deals out there. Apple's Refurb Store also has up to £180 off refurbished models of the Series 4 and £110 off the Series 5 – some of the biggest discounts we've seen for any Apple Watch.
1. Apple Watch Series 6 (GPS, 40mm)
You can now save £21 on the 40mm Apple Watch 6 (GPS) in pink, blue and red.
2. Apple Watch Series 6 (44mm, GPS)
Currys is also offering the same model for £388.
3. Apple Watch Series 5 (40mm, cellular) with Black Nike Sports Band
We currently can't see this price anywhere else on this Apple Watch 5 model. You also get free next day delivery with code FREENEXTDAYDELIVERY at checkout.
4. Apple Watch Series 6 (40mm, cellular)
Now: £27 per month, £19 upfront
You can get the cellular version of the brand new Series 6 Apple Watch from Vodafone for £27 per month, and just £19 upfront payment. This is the smaller 40mm version. The 44mm option is available for £29 per month with no upfront cost. There's also the Apple Watch SE available for £20 per month.
5. Apple Watch Series 6 (40mm, cellular)
Now: £28 a month (or £24 per month with trade-in)
If you don't want to pay the £19 upfront cost of the Vodafone deal, EE is offering the Apple Watch Series 6 (40mm) with cellular connectivity and unlimited data for £28 a month with nothing required upfront. The catch? You've got to have an existing EE contract. If you trade in your old Apple Watch, you can knock £4 off the monthly cost.
6. Apple Watch Series 4 Nike+ (44mm, cellular, refurbished)
You can grab yourself a sweet deal on a refurb of the larger 44mm variant of Apple Watch Series 4 right now. It's the Nike+ edition too, with a cool matching sports band and Nike+ watchfaces available too.
7. Apple Watch Series 4 Stainless Steel (40mm, cellular, refurbished)
If you can live without the always-on display of the Series 5, you can grab an Apple-refurbished Series 4 with stainless steel finish, GPS and cellular connectivity for £180 less than it cost when it was on sale.
8. Apple Watch SE Nike+ Edition (44mm, GPS + Cellular)
The 44mm Watch SE with GPS and Cellular has £20 off from Currys PC World – one of the best around right now.
The 44mm standard edition also has £10 off from Currys PC World on eBay.
