The Apple Watch is hands down the best-selling smartwatch in the entire world, and third-party data shows that more and more units are being sold every quarter.

And while most people choose to purchase the latest-generation model, the previous Apple Watches are still worth the money, especially because they come with similar specs at a lower price.

Apple Watch Series 3 is the best example in this regard, as this particular model can be yours right now at an unbeatable price. And it’s all thanks to a 4th of July sale that Apple has recently launched on its Amazon store.

The Series 3 can be yours right now for just $179, which is a massive discount that obviously won’t last long. The 38mm version is even cheaper, as it’s available for $169.

Perfectly capable Apple Watch

We know what you’re thinking. With the Apple Watch Series 6 already on its way and scheduled to launch in the fall, is it still a good idea to buy a Series 3?

It actually is, as the Apple Watch Series 3 is a perfectly capable smartwatch, and if you’re not looking for the entire feature package that Apple is currently offering on its wearable, you should be just fine.

What you’re going to miss is support for the ECG feature and there’s a chance that some of the features coming with watchOS 7 in the fall might also be unsupported on the Series 3. But other than that, you still get the essential package, so the Series 3 is quite a companion for your iPhone.

Needless to say, if you want to get the device at this super-special price, you really need to hurry up, especially for the reasons mentioned above. The Apple Watch is still selling like hotcakes, and given this price cut, the inventory is likely to be sold out rather quickly.
