Dealmaster: Get an Apple Watch Series 1 for $149

Greetings, Arsians! Courtesy of our friends at TechBargains, we have another round of deals to share. Today’s list is led by a discount on the Apple Watch Series 1, the 38mm and 42mm models of which are down to $149 and $179, respectively, at Walmart. That’s $100 off Apple’s standard retail price either way.

The Series 1 is more than a year old at this point, so it’s a step behind the increased water resistance, GPS, and optional LTE support of the newer Apple Watch Series 3. But it looks just about identical, gets the same 18-ish hours of battery life, and still tracks most workouts. While it’s certainly not as fast as the Series 3, it’s not sluggish. Smartwatches are probably never going to be for everyone, but if you’ve ever found the idea appealing (or just want a smarter fitness tracker), this is a good point to jump in. Just note that the discount only appears to apply on the white band model.

If you’d rather not, though, we also have deals on the Google Home, Amazon Fire HD 10, Samsung Galaxy S9 bundles, a few video games, and various PCs. Take a look for yourself below.
