Costco is selling the Apple Watch Series 3 for Black Friday pricing

Today’s deal goes out to all the Costco members out there who can visit the popular wholesaler’s website and pick up an Apple Watch Series 3Remove non-product link for as little as $229. That’s essentially Black Friday pricing, and most models are priced at around $50 down from what they’re currently listed for at other sites.

If you’d rather have an Apple Watch Series 4, Costco is also selling it for as little as $385Remove non-product link. Just keep in mind that you’ll need a Costco membership to take advantage of this deal (and to see it, for that matter).

The Apple Watch Series 3 isn’t a slouch compared to its newer counterpart by any means, and in fact I personally chose to wait until the Apple Watch Series 5 for an upgrade. It’s fast, it’s tough and essentially waterproof, and it’s got a comparable battery life to the newer models.

If you’re wanting to save money, it’s a perfectly viable alternative compared to the newer model. You’ll mainly be missing out on a slightly larger display, some admittedly cool watch faces, and some nifty new features such as the ability to detect falls (and send automated request for help when those falls happen).
