Apple<\/a> might have a reputation for expensive products, but that doesn\u2019t mean there aren\u2019t bargains to be had here and there on the company\u2019s tech. That\u2019s exactly what we\u2019ve just seen with the budget-friendly Apple Watch<\/a> SE \u2013 with an Amazon Prime Day<\/a> deal making it an even more attractive gadget for a savings-minded shopper.<\/p>\n

Right now the second-generation Apple Watch SE is currently AU$100 off, bringing the price down to AU$299 \u2013 just AU$2 more than its lowest price of AU$297 that it was briefly earlier this year. Still, it\u2019s hard to ignore this discount, especially if you\u2019re a fan of Apple\u2019s ecosystem and have been keen on a new smartwatch.<\/p>\n

Note, however, that this discount is exclusively available to Prime members. Not a member? Sign up now to get a 30-day free trial<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Apple Watch SE comes fitted with a range of great health tracking capabilities, including heart-rate monitoring, sleep tracking and cycle tracking, just to name a few. It might lack the temperature sensing and ECG capabilities of the Series 10 and Ultra 2, but it\u2019s still a capable and fashionable smartwatch to pair with an iPhone \u2013 particularly if you care about your fitness but don\u2019t really have a big need for more detailed metrics.<\/p>\n

In our Apple Watch SE 2 review<\/a>, we applauded the smartwatch for its snappyness and slick design, its lightweight build and its mid-tier fitness tracking, along with an impressive battery life (well, it\u2019s the same 18 hours as the flagship series). We were only particularly critical of lack of ECG tracking, not having an always-on screen and a lower battery life than competing Fitbits \u2013 but none of these things stopped us from awarding it 4.5 stars, along with a great value seal of approval.<\/p>\n

Given there\u2019s an AU$100 discount on the watch right now, that great value recommendation only feels stronger \u2013 and yes, there are alternative smartwatches that an iPhone user could purchase for less, but none of them would have the great operating system<\/a> that you\u2019d be looking to pair with your phone.<\/p>\n

But say you\u2019d like to get those more detailed health and fitness features offered by Apple\u2019s higher-end watches \u2013 thankfully, there\u2019s discounts on those too:<\/p>\n
