This Apple Watch SE is almost half price for Cyber Monday – and thousands of shoppers are already buying it

There are some Black Friday deals you come across that are no-brainers, and the massive discount on this 1st Gen Apple Watch SE is one of them if you're looking to purchase your first smart watch this week. 

Walmart currently have the watch on offer for $149, a saving over $130 on the retail price. It's a model that our tech writers said was the best Apple Watch you could buy if you're looking for a budget-friendly smart watch to start tracking your fitness.  

However, this deal only applies to the first generation model of the Apple Watch SE, but if you're feeling reticent about buying into an older model, it's worth weighing up the differences. The SE2 has a faster chip, and also has ECG and blood oxygen sensors that the 1st Gen model is lacking. But, it still allows you to take calls and texts, acts as an Emergency SOS in case of falls, and has brilliant features like integrated workouts and a compass for hiking. 

In reality, if you're looking for a smartwatch that's packed with functions, neither of these models is probably the best fitness tracker for you. The Apple Watch SE serves a purpose as an entry level smart watch, so if you're making your first investment in the realm of smart watches, or replacing an old one, that $130 saving is more than enough to convince us that this is the best Apple Watch you can buy right now.
