The weekend’s best deals: Apple Watch Series 7, LG C1 OLED TV, and more
Ars Technica


It’s the weekend, which means it’s time for another Dealmaster. Our latest roundup of the best tech deals from around the web includes a new low price on the 45mm version of the Apple Watch Series 7, which is currently down to $370 at various retailers. That’s about $40 off the average street price we’ve tracked in recent months and $60 off Apple’s MSRP. The discount only applies to certain colorways as of this writing, but it’s still decent savings for the top pick in our guide to the best smartwatches. If you’d prefer to pay a little bit less for a smaller version of the watch, note that the 41mm variant of the Series 7 is on sale for $349, which is $10 more than the lowest price we’ve tracked.
Elsewhere, our deals roundup also includes a new low price on LG’s near–universally well–reviewed C1 OLED TV, the 65-inch version of which is currently down to $1,650 at Amazon subsidiary Woot. That’s about $175 off its usual going rate over the past few months. While LG has already announced its OLED TV lineup for 2022 and promised improved peak brightness on the C1’s successor, we wouldn’t expect that model to reach this deal price until several months after launch. If you’re willing to buy last year’s models, now is typically a good time of year to snag a TV deal; this discount isn’t cheap by any means, but it’s a relatively good value for those interested in upgrading to the improved contrast of a quality OLED panel.

Beyond that, the Dealmaster has good prices on Fitbit’s Charge 5 activity tracker, SSDs from Samsung and WD, SanDisk microSD cards, several video games we like (including Hades, Psychonauts 2, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales), the iPad Air, and more. You can check out our full curated list below.
