Apple Watch Series 11 Drops to Record Low Price in Major Amazon Sale
Apple Watch Series 11 drops to €200 on Amazon and other retailers—here’s how long the deal lasts and what experts say about its value. The latest model, normally priced at €350–€400, is now available for €199 or less across major platforms, with stock dwindling as Prime Day and summer sales push discounts. Analysts warn the offer may vanish within days, and some reports suggest Apple may be quietly approving limited-time promotions ahead of holiday inventory shifts.
Why is the Apple Watch Series 11 suddenly so cheap?
The price cut—confirmed by Ouest-France, Le Figaro, and BFM—aligns with a broader trend of tech retailers slashing prices on older Apple Watch models ahead of the expected September unveiling of the Series 12. According to Futura, Amazon’s Prime Day event has accelerated the discounts, with the Series 11 now priced at €199 (down from €299) and even €179 in select bundles. Paris Match notes the drop is “unprecedented” for a current-generation device, typically reserved for older models.
Industry sources suggest Apple may be approving the promotions to clear older stock before the Series 12 launch, a strategy Le Figaro calls “aggressive.” Past patterns show Apple often allows retailers to discount near-launch models to avoid dead inventory—though this year’s cuts are deeper than usual.
How long will the €200 deal last?
Retailers have given conflicting timelines. Ouest-France reports the discount expires by the end of June, while Amazon’s listing shows no explicit end date—but stock updates suggest it could vanish within days. BFM warns that similar deals on older Apple Watches (like the Series 7 at €29) have sold out within hours. Experts recommend acting quickly, as Amazon’s Prime Day stock often resets after 48 hours.
Apple’s official store has not mirrored the discounts, reinforcing the impression this is a retailer-driven push. A spokesperson for Apple France declined to comment on the promotions.
Is the Series 11 still a good buy at €200?
Yes—but with caveats. The Series 11 retains key features of the Series 8, including blood oxygen monitoring, crash detection, and ECG capabilities, all at a fraction of the original $399 price. However, it lacks the always-on altimeter and temperature sensor found in newer models. Futura’s tech editor calls it “a steal for power users who don’t need the latest hardware,” while Paris Match notes the battery life (18 hours) remains a weak point compared to competitors like Garmin.
For comparison, the Series 7—now priced as low as €179—offers nearly identical specs but without the Series 11’s updated watch face engine. Analysts at Le Figaro suggest the Series 11’s €200 price point makes it the best value in Apple’s current lineup.
What happens next for Apple Watch prices?
Retailers are likely to roll back discounts after the Series 12 launch, expected in September. BFM reports that past post-launch sales have seen prices rebound to near-MSRP within weeks. Meanwhile, rumors of a “Series 12 Pro” with a titanium case and advanced health sensors could further devalue the Series 11. Experts advise buyers to monitor Amazon’s restock alerts and set price-drop notifications for the model.
Apple’s silence on the promotions—combined with the urgency of retailer deadlines—suggests this is a calculated move to offload inventory before the next generation arrives. No official statement from Apple has confirmed whether the discounts are permanent or tied to specific events like Prime Day.
