How did we choose these early Black Friday Apple Watch deals?


With so many retailers jumping on the Black Friday bandwagon, it can be hard to move from store to store and find the best deal on the product you want. 

We've scoured the web for the best deals we can find on Apple Watch products and will continue to keep an eye on price trackers, legacy sales, and whether or not retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart are competing amongst themselves with price drops. 

Apple Watch products do not appear on sale as often as many other smart watches, but when they do, we will try to find the best deals available to suit different budgets -- and this may include renewed models. 


When is Black Friday 2022?


Black Friday takes place on the last Friday of November, every year. In 2022, Black Friday will land on Nov. 25.

The day, taking place after Thanksgiving, marks the beginning of the US shopping season. However, in recent years, Black Friday has been extended to the full week alongside Cyber Monday. 


When is Cyber Monday 2022?


Cyber Monday occurs after Thanksgiving and Black Friday. While originally associated with the e-commerce element of online shopping, now, many US retailers use the day to promote sales on technology including laptops, smartphones, tablets, and home electronics.

In 2022, Cyber Monday is taking place on Monday, Nov. 28.
