Here are some worthy deals on the Apple Watch Series 8, the Apple Watch SE, and the Apple Watch Ultra for the Prime Early Access Sale.

Prime Early Access Sale 2022: Best Apple Watch 8 deals
The latest Apple Watch is almost identical to the Series 7, but adds crash detection and the ability to use temperature measurements while you sleep to help track fertility. As the Series 8 was just released, you should probably not expect to find good deals yet, but it’s worth keeping an eye on.

Prime Early Access Sale 2022: Best Apple Watch Ultra deals
The latest Apple Watch Ultra is a totally new model aimed at outdoor enthusiasts–those who like to dive, hike, run, bike, climb, etc. There’s only one version: a hefty 49mm with a titanium body and cellular connectivity. It’s got everything the Series 8 has plus a brighter display, dual-band GPS, much longer battery life, better mics and speakers, and improved durability and water resistance.
As the Apple Watch Ultra was just released, we’d be surprised if it went on sale, but if you’re interested you should keep an eye out.

Prime Early Access Sale 2022: Best Apple Watch SE deals
The Apple Watch SE is the more affordable option, essentially a cross between an Apple Watch Series 4 and Series 6. Its display isn’t quite as large and doesn’t have the always-on feature, nor does it have the blood oxygen or ECG features. But it still does most of what people want an Apple Watch for, while saving you around $100.
In the U.S., Apple doesn’t offer much of a discount ahead of its Early Access Sale, but that could change.
Apple Watch SE (40mm) GPS: $249 (full price)
Apple Watch SE (44mm) GPS: $269 ($10 off)
Apple Watch SE (40mm) GPS + Cellular: $299 (full price)
Apple Watch SE (44mm) GPS + Cellular: $319 ($10 off)
Amazon U.K. hasn’t got any discounts at the moment, but it’s worth keeping an eye out:

Apple Watch SE (44mm) GPS: £299 (full price)
Apple Watch SE (40mm) GPS + Cellular: £319 (full price)
Apple Watch SE (44mm) GPS + Cellular: £349 (full price)
