If you’ve had your eye on a shiny new Apple Watch, Walmart has a Black Friday deal you won’t want to miss — and we expect it to go quickly.

The big-box behemoth is dropping the price of a 38mm Apple Watch Series 3 GPS from $199 to just $109, which is the lowest we’ve ever seen it go — a typical discount is only $30-$60. The sale officially starts at 7 p.m. Eastern, but if you happen to be a Walmart+ member, you can get a four-hour head start and shop as early as 3 p.m. (Walmart’s in-store deals don’t begin until 5 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 26.)

Keep in mind that this is a new Apple Watch, not a refurbished model. That said, the Series 3 is the oldest Apple Watch that’s still being sold. The newest model, the Series 7, may see minor discounts, but expect to pay very near the full sticker price of $399 and up, depending on which version you want. 

Anyone who wants a newer Apple Watch can still keep their eyes peeled for discounts on the Series 5, Series 6, or SE models. Here are a few that caught our eye, all of them live right now:

The Series 3 still does everything most casual users want or need in an Apple Watch, with seamless smartphone notifications, exercise and sleep tracking, and more. The main differences? You’re getting a smaller display and a slower processor. 

If you’re on the fence, don’t sit there for long. As we said above, this deal probably won’t last long.For more great gift guides and holiday shopping tips, please sign up for our free newsletters.
