'Best bang for your buck': The mega-popular Apple Watch isdown to $259 for Black Friday
Looking for a smart, stylish and precise way to optimize your health? Amazon's got a few Black Friday deals to help with that. Namely, the Apple Watch SE for $259. It offers up a little of everything. You can track your daily activity and flip through plenty of workouts, including tai chi, Pilates, running, yoga, swimming and dance. A built-in compass and real-time elevation readings comes in handy on hikes, while features such as the heart rate tracker and heart rhythm notifications help you keep tabs on your ticker.
The Apple Watch SE is two times faster and has a 30% larger display than Series 3. There are also added safety features like fall detection, and Emergency SOS can get you help when you need it. Like most Apple products, it pairs well with your other Apple devices and services. You can use your AirPods with it, unlock your Mac, or even use ApplePay with it. On top of its usefulness in everyday life, it's also built to be tough and great to wear even when hiking or swimming.
This top-rated tech has garnered major acclaim for good reason. One happy customer calls this watch the "best bang for your buck, hands down." A fellow fan had this to share: "After researching all of the series of Apple Watches, I decided on the SE because of the features and how well priced it was. The watch is lightweight and has a sleek design, and it seems to be built very durable. Also the functionalities fit my needs and provide the convenience that I am looking for. I couldnāt be happier."
Another reviewer noted this is one of the best purchases they've ever made. "This watch is awesome!! Definitely encourages me to log and start trying some healthy habits in my life. I love my watch so much! It keeps track of how many steps I take, heart rate, stress and energy levels, can be very customizable and much more," they said. "If you want to incorporate some healthy lifestyle habits into your life, buying this watch is definitely a good motivation booster!"
