Prime Day 2024 is the perfect time to bag a fantastic Apple Watch deal
First published on Friday, July 12.
Amazon’s Prime Day sales event (which lasts two days, not just one!) is a fantastic opportunity to find a good deal on the Apple Watch, so if you were wondering if the Apple Watch will be on sale for Prime Day, wonder no more! You can expect to see some discounts on the Apple Watch during the Prime Day sale, which will take place from July 16 to 17.
Here at Macworld we know more than most about Apple’s range of products, and we can spot a bargain too, having compiled regular Apple deals roundups for years. We’re not likely to be fooled by the usual tricks, such as prices being raised just before a sales event so the discounts look bigger. We’ll make sure to steer you to the genuinely worthwhile deals.
We’ll be tracking all the best Prime Day 2024 Apple Watch deals in this article, including those cheeky early deals up which pop up before the event; sometimes these are just as good as the official Prime Day deals. The latest models, and the ones likely to be of most interest for deal-hunters, are the Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Ultra 2, and second-gen Apple Watch SE. But you can often find good deals on older models too.

Prime Day 2024: How can I get the best Apple Watch deals?
Amazon Prime Day typically runs in July, while Amazon also runs an Amazon Prime Early Access Sale in October in the following countries: Austria, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, the U.K., and the U.S.
The motive behind the sale is to encourage customers to join the company’s Prime subscription service. For this reason, the sale is officially open to Prime members only, and you’ll need to sign in with an active membership to purchase one of the deals. (You’ll find, however, that some individual deals are available to non-members.) Prime memberships cost $139 / £95 / AUD$59 annually, or $14.99 / £8.99 / AUD$6.99 on a monthly basis. New users can sign up for a 30-day free trial which can be canceled at any time during the trial window.
