iPhone owners who are thinking about finally joining the smartwatch bandwagon can do so on a budget with the second-generation Apple Watch SE. The cost is even lower right now following Walmart’s $60 discount for the GPS, 40mm version of the wearable device, slashing its price to just $189 from $249. We’re not sure how much time is remaining before its price goes back to normal though, so to make sure that you don’t miss out on one of the cheapest Apple Watch dealsavailable, we highly recommend pushing through with your purchase immediately.
Why you should buy the Apple Watch SE 2
We tagged the Apple Watch SE 2 as the best budget smartwatch for the iPhone in our list of the best smartwatches primarily because it’s almost the same wearable device as the previous-generation Apple Watch Series 8, but for a more affordable price. It even holds up against the latest version, with our Apple Watch Series 9 versus Apple Watch SE 2 comparison highlighting that the budget-friendly smartwatch is still compatible with the new watchOS 10, and it offers many of the same health-tracking features and nearly identical fitness options as the Apple Watch Series 9.
The Apple Watch SE 2 offers fall detection and crash detection, with an emergency message automatically sent to your loved ones when it detects that you’re involved in an accident. It also has a water resistance rating of up to 50 meters, and a battery that can last up to two days on a single charge. It’s also very easy to pair with your iPhone, in a setup process that only takes a few minutes to complete.
If you’re on the hunt for affordable smartwatch deals and you own an iPhone, there’s probably no better option right now than Walmart’s offer for the GPS, 40mm model of the second-generation Apple Watch SE. From its sticker price of $249, it’s down to $189 for savings of $60, but we don’t think the wearable device will stay this cheap for long. The bargain will end soon or the stocks up for sale will run out quickly — either way, you’re going to have to finish your transaction for the second-generation Apple Watch SE as soon as possible.

Don’t forget. You can save big on a replacement Apple Pencil 2 for Prime Day
It's easy to think of Prime Day as the time to pick up new goodies and, from time to time, to check out if that expensive new tech item has dropped down to an affordable price. What we often forget is that Prime Day deals are also a great way to pick up essentials, extras, and replacement items. Right now, this Apple Prime Day deal on the Apple Pencil 2 is a perfect example of that spirit in action. Normally $129, the price has dropped by $50 on the humble Apple Pencil 2, bringing it to $79. Whether you've lost your old one, want a backup, or need a fresh one to go with the iPad Prime Day deal you picked up, now is the time to get an Apple Pencil 2. Tap the button below to pick yours up now, or keep reading to see what makes the Apple Pencil 2 special.
Why you should buy the Apple Pencil 2
The number one reason you should buy the Apple Pencil 2 right now is to have a backup or to replace your lost or stolen one while the price is low. But there's always the chance that you haven't had an Apple Pencil 2 before, in which case you should know how it operates. While we'll leave it to our Apple Pencil 2 review to cover the fine details, you should know that the pen detects tilt and pressure as you write. When combined with the low latency of the pen's connection with your tablet, you'll find that writing with it feels very fluid and lifelike. The Apple Pencil 2's convenient wireless charging lets it charge while it is attached to the edge of your iPad, the most likely spot you'd ever want to put it, making having a charged Apple Pencil 2 a thoughtless exercise.
