Memorial Day may be over, but some of the best holiday sales on tech are still lingering today, including a few solid discounts on Apple devices. Key among them is $100 off the Apple Watch Series 10, the wearable we consider to be the best smartwatch for most people. That brings it down to $299, which is a record-low price. This price is for a GPS version (meaning it doesn't support LTE) with the smaller 42mm case. At the time of writing, the $299 price applies to two color variants: a jet black aluminum case with black sport band and a rose gold aluminum case with light blush sport band. Discounts vary on other configurations. The Apple Watch Series 10 is an iterative upgrade. If you already have a Series 8 or 9, it's perhaps not worth switching to the latest model. However, if you're rocking an older Apple Watch or you're looking to pick up your first one, this is our recommendation. We gave the Apple Watch Series 10 a score of 90 in our review. The Series 10 is a little thinner and lighter than the previous model, but it has a larger OLED screen, which makes it easier to see what's on the display. Apple has improved the efficiency of the battery life as well, and it should often last longer on a single charge than the 18 hours for which it's rated. The new sleep apnea feature is very welcome, but the blood oxygen feature from older models is not available here (Apple removed that app from certain models in the US due to a patent dispute). In general, though, the Series 10 is a solid step forward for the Apple Watch. The latest model is a terrific fitness tracker that helps you keep an eye on the most important alerts and notifications you receive on your iPhone. If you're looking to spend a bit less, the Apple Watch SE is also on sale for $169.

Amazon Prime Day is officially over after a record-long affair, but there are still standout deals available. You can currently snag the Apple Watch Series 10 for $279, or $120 off its usual retail price. That's tied for the lowest price we've ever seen. A deal offering 30 percent off a current-generation Apple product doesn't come around often. The cellular version is also $120 off during this sale. It's hard to believe the Apple Watch has hit its tenth generation, but this latest model remains our top overall pick among smartwatches. In our hands-on review, we loved the comprehensive health and fitness tracking features available on the Apple Watch 10. The ECG monitoring, fall detection and sleep tracking are particularly helpful in offering a fuller picture of your health, as well as peace of mind for our older loved ones. While we miss the blood oxygen monitoring app that Apple is still fighting over in the courts, the Series 10 impressed us as the sleekest Apple Watch yet. Thanks to its thinner case, the Apple Watch is finally starting to feel and look more like a normal accessory on your wrist than a somewhat bulky tech gadget. Overall, we gave the Apple Watch 10 earned a review score of 90 out of 100. If you're in the market for a new Apple Watch but are interested in a lower price point, you might consider the second-generation Apple Watch SE. This more affordable model is currently discounted to $169, saving you over 30 percent from its retail price of $249. While it lacks some of the more advanced functionality found in the Series 10, it still provides great core features like fitness and sleep tracking, crash detection, heart rate monitoring and an excellent Retina display.
