You probably have a friend or family member with an Apple Watch, and maybe you’ve thought to yourself, “That seems really useful, too bad they’re so pricey.” Well, they’re a little less pricey this week at Amazon, where you can save $50 on a brand-new Series 7, including the fancier models with cellular service. 

Although not every single color scheme and finish is included in this sale, you’ve still got a pretty generous (and ust plain pretty) array of choices: Blue Aluminum, Green Aluminum, Midnight Aluminum, Starlight Aluminum, Graphite Stainless Steel with Abyss Blue Sports Band, Graphite Stainless Steel with Graphite Milanese Loop, Silver Stainless Steel Case with Silver Milanese Loop, and Starlight Stainless Steel Case with Starlight Sport Band. 

If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Speaking of knowing what time it is: Are you still not a member? What are you waiting for? You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)$349 $399 at Amazon

You probably don’t need us to tell you of the wonders of the Apple Watch, but we will anyway. Aside from being, you know, a watch, this mind-blowing device can sync to all manner of audio entertainment (podcasts, tunes, audiobooks), report your location with pinpoint accuracy, track your fitness regimen and measure your blood oxygen and heart rate. You can even download a mindfulness app to help you stay in the moment. Namaste!

“I absolutely love it,” said a first-time Apple Watch user. “I love the color and look of it as well. I can wear it with casual or dressy clothes. I love how it pairs with my iPhone 11 and how I can use it to take pics. So far I have no complaints about it.”

Another shopper was thrilled, saying “It works great, it was easy to set up … it took only a few minutes compared to buying a new iPhone and having to set that up and it taking hours. I’m absolutely satisfied with the product; it works great!”$349 $399 at Amazon

You may be tempted to save a bit of money by getting the GPS-only version, but the cellular version has its benefits. One user says “It seemed essential in case I was out of range of my iPhone. After fielding many calls using the [Apple Watch] only, the quality is indistinguishable from my iPhone.” 

But they also have other nice things to say about the watch, noting that “as I am both active and getting older, the emergency fall function seemed practical. It is but, in terms of health monitoring, it offers much more. From ECGs and other heart parameters to sleep records, fitness records and more, it gives one a definitive record of activity/inactivity, momentum vs inertia. As the AW mirrors much of your iPhone, there is too much to describe.”$449 $499 at Amazon

Customers find their Apple Watch useful for all sorts of medical issues, like this reviewer: “[I was] worried I wouldn’t be able to navigate the face — oh, how I was wrong. Also, I have neuropathy, which affects my balance, and then add heart disease, and you see why I need one. It detects a fall and alerts medical assistance, takes an ECG, heart rate, the list goes on. The activity app on it lets me know to get moving…. To all you fashionistas, it’s fab-looking too.”
