We love a good deal on previous generation tech and you should make the most of these amazing Apple Watch Series 8 prices while you can.
With new models of gadgets bringing small iterative upgrades, buying last year’s model can be the best value-for-money option and that’s certainly the case with the Apple Watch Series 8.
It’s very similar to the Series 9 with that model primarily adding a new processor, pink colour and a brighter screen. In other words, things that most people won’t notice in day-to-day use.
And because this is an Apple product, it’s not like it’s going to lose support any time soon. We awarded it 8/10 and an Editor’s Choice award in our original review.
There are some great prices for the Apple Watch Series 8 right now but act fast as some of these are clearance deals and stock is likely to be limited as retailers clear the shelves.
The best deals right now are on Currys which is selling the Series 8 with Cellular data in the smaller 41mm size for just £263.97 for the Midnight Black colour or Product(RED) for £265.97.
That’s a saving of 50% compared to the original RRP and also comes with the bonus of 3 months of free Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and Apple Fitness+.

Alternatively, John Lewis has got the larger 45mm GPS model for just £299, down from £449 in Silver with a white band or the Product(RED) option for £309.
These are reduced to clear so you may need to be quick to bag one.
Amazon has the same price on the 45mm Product(RED) Series 8 and is also a good place to buy the smartwatch if you’re happy with a refurbished (or ‘renewed’) device.
You can get a 45mm in Midnight or 41mm in Starlight with both priced at £278, albeit with very limited stock levels.
The deals at Currys are the best but if you’re not convinced and can’t afford the Watch Series 9 you can check out the Apple Watch SE (2nd generation) as well as our pick of the best smartwatches.
