The savings here aren't huge, but considering both the Apple Watch Series 11 and Apple Watch SE 3 launched just a few months ago, we were surprised to see them down for Black Friday.

Since they won't last long, we've also found some alternative deals you could opt for. Because the discounts aren't huge and won't last long, we've also found some alternative deals you could opt for.
