Black Friday 2026: what last year's Series 11 did
Apple priced the Series 12 from $399, per Apple (September 2026). MacPrices (October 6, 2026) reported Amazon at $349.99 (42mm GPS) and $399.99 (46mm GPS) on October 6, about $50 off. We don't know where Black Friday 2026 (November 27) will land. Last year's Series 11 is the only reference we have:
- Black Friday 2025: Appleosophy (November 28, 2025) reported the 42mm GPS at $339 on Amazon, $60 off $399.
- December 29, 2025: 9to5Toys (December 29, 2025) reported the Series 11 at $299 for the 42mm GPS, $100 off, which it said was $30 below the best Black Friday offers. That offer has expired.
That is one product in one year. It doesn't mean the Series 12 will follow the same pattern.

- Compare with the regular and reported prices in the table.
- Check the band: different bands change the price.
- Check the seller and the return window.
- Run a check for other stores and coupons.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Comparing across sizes. The 46mm costs $50 more than the 42mm.
- Ignoring connectivity. Cellular adds $100.
- Treating an expired deal as live. The $350 price was reported on October 5.
- Skipping the band. A different band changes the price.
