You may feel tempted by the latest Apple Watch or even the super-burly Apple Watch Ultra, but the reality is that the SE is everything most people need in a wearable. Right now, you can get a current-gen Apple Watch SE as low as $169 during Amazon’s October Prime Day sale (aka Amazon Prime Big Deal Days). These always sell out, especially if you want a specific size or color, so definitely don’t wait if you’re thinking about making a purchase.

This is as cheap as you’ll get a current-gen, non-refurbished Apple Watch. It tracks your heart rate, plays music, shows your notifications, supports Siri, and does just about everything else the latest models do for a small fraction of the price. The smaller version is great if you have smaller wrists or if you’re using it specifically for exercise and you want to minimize the chance it’ll get in the way. I destroyed my first Apple Watch with an errant kettlebell swing.

If you want a slightly bigger watch face, go with the 44mm version. It offers all the same features, but the Retina display and case are slightly bigger. It is a noticeable difference and I prefer the larger screen because it has an easier time displaying larger text that I can actually read.
