Don't wait! Every Apple Watch is already on sale for Prime Day — here's the deals I'd snag
Now that Prime Day is upon us, practically every Apple Watch is on sale making it an epic time to invest in one of the best Apple Watches we've tested. Below, I've hand-picked the Apple Watch deals worth shopping right now.
Personally, I think the Apple Watch 10 for just $299 is the standout deal. That's $100 off and an all-time price low. It's also the best smartwatch for most people. I've highlighted all of my top deals below and make sure to check out our Prime Day deals live blog for the best deals right now.
The cheapest Apple Watch to buy ahead of Prime Day is the Apple Watch SE GPS, which doesn't have all the same bells and whistles found on its pricier siblings, but it's still a mighty capable smartwatch. It comes in two sizes, and this deal is on the smaller 40mm version, with the midnight sport band.
The Apple Watch Series 10 is the best Apple Watch for fitness and health tracking. It boasts Apple's latest holistic tech and features, including sleep apnea detection, and a gorgeous new display that's easy to read while working out. This deal is on the smaller, 42mm version, without cellular.
If you're after GPS and Cellular, which allows you to make calls and check your apps without your phone nearby, the best deal right now on the Apple Watch SE is in the 40mm version, with the midnight sport band. It's a great watch for less than $240, so grab it while you can.
If you're looking for the Apple Watch 10 with GPS and Cellular (this allows you can make calls and use data or apps when you don't have your iPhone or Wi-Fi.) The best deal is on the 42mm with the sport loop, which is discounted from $499 to $399 right now on Amazon.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is Apple's most hardwearing smartwatch with double the water resistance of its siblings and an all-titanium design. This deal is on the version of the watch that comes with a blue alpine loop in small, but having tested them all, I'd say this is the most comfortable watch strap, so I'd recommend. It's a fantastic price for Apple's best watch for fitness fanatics.

You can now download iOS 26, iPadOS 26 and macOS Tahoe public betas on your iPhone, iPad and Mac
What's happened? Apple has released the public betas for its upcoming suite of operating system updates. It means iPhone owners can now download the iOS 26 public beta, iPad owners get access to iPadOS 26, Mac users can now check out macOS Tahoe, while Watch wearers have the option to experience the watchOS 26 public beta. Even Apple TV watchers can test-drive the tvOS 26 public beta. All ahead of the official releases later this year (likely mid-September). This is important because: This year's raft of software updates mark Apple's biggest overhaul of its operating systems in more than a decade. They feature Apple's new Liquid Glass design ethos, and are designed to more closely interact than ever before, for a seamless experience across your Apple devices. Apple Vision Pro owners miss out on the action however, with Apple opting not to release visionOS 26 as a public beta. If you own Apple's XR headset, you'll need to wait for the official release of the software update. Recommended Videos Why should I care? If you've been clamoring to test out Apple's new Liquid Glass interface, the release of the public betas is your first proper opportunity to do so – but we'd recommend proceeding with caution. While Apple is clearly happy with the general stability of the platforms now, these are still beta systems. It means that bugs could well be present, which may negatively affect the performance of your device. If you rely on your iPhone, iPad, Watch, or Mac for important daily tasks, we'd recommend steering clear of the public beta and wait for the official release of the operating systems in a few months time. Okay, what's next? With the public betas now available, Apple has vastly expanded its pool of testers as it looks to squash the remaining bugs before the official release later this year. If you want to try out the public betas on your Apple devices, you'll need to sign up for the Apple Beta Software Programme. It's free to do so, but again, proceed with caution as these updates are still in development. Apple says it will launch the final versions of its new operating systems this fall, and going by previous years that will likely be sometime in September around the iPhone 17 launch.

The QuietComfort Headphones are the Bose cans you should buy — and they're $120 off
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are very good — but the Bose headphones you should buy are the less expensive QuietComfort Headphones. That lack of the Ultra moniker might put you off, but they're the affordable version that retain loads of the performance without the massive price. You can currently pick up the Bose QuietComfort Headphones for just $229 at Amazon, thanks to an enormous $120 discount. That makes them just half the price of the QuietComfort Ultra, and far more worthy of your spend! Bose's QuietComfort Headphones might not have the shining premium luster of the more expensive Ultra, but they make up for it with a massive saving. The sound is good, the ANC is spectacular, and the comfort is legendary — and utterly unmissable at this price. The Bose QuietComfort Headphones pack in some excellent noise canceling. It's not quite as impressive as that which you'll find in the Ultra Headphones, but it's still one of the best ways of keeping noise at bay. I've survived bus and train journeys galore, and they're an incredibly popular option for frequent fliers. The sound is good too, with some lovely rich bass on offer. I tend to dial it in ever so slightly in the excellent Bose app, upping the highs to bring some more detail, but they otherwise sound very good out of the box. Comfort is better than just about anything else thanks to very plush foam and lightweight construction. They've got 'comfort' in the name, so you'd hope they were fairly comfy, and I've certainly not been disappointed with mine. But why should you buy them over the Ultra Headphones? Well, for one, there's that price. You might miss the premium design and the Immersive Audio mode of the more expensive pair, but for a big saving, you get comparable noise canceling, a small protective case, and sound that gets very close to the more expensive pair. In my mind, the choice is almost a no-brainer — why spend more when you can get very close for far less?

ICE raided a popular swap meet. Now vendors and and customers are coming back.
Gerardo Pichardo used to set out his electronics and Amazon overstock products for sale in an indoor space at the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet. But after an U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid on June 14 at the Los Angeles area hub for Spanish-speaking Latino vendors, he said he now sets up outside, "with only essential things, so if anything happens I can get out of here fast." Vendors such as Pichardo say fear of ICE has meant a loss of customers and fewer vendors this summer. Some vendors stopped showing up, and the ones who continued selling said their business declined, though it is slowly recalled that a few years ago, he saw a tribute to Maná — a Mexican rock band — perform at the swap meet. He remembered a crowd of people drinking and dancing to the music. Two such concerts have been canceled since the raid. The swap meet is a place where customers find deals for as low as a dollar, attend live performances and enjoy a sense of community. A month after the raid, canopies shielding vendors from the sun speckled the outdoor lot, with goods laid out on tables and the ground. Signs read '$1' or "$2." Vendors called out to the occasional passing customer. Still, a lot of aisles remained empty. Some vendors left early. A man selling kitchen supplies packed up his antiques and silverware two hours ahead of closing time. But the community spirit of the swap meet is still alive with him and many others. He sold a toaster for $2 to a skeptical customer, telling him that if it didn't work, he could bring it back. Cecilia Soriano, who has been selling groceries at the swap meet for a year and a half, said her business has been cut in half since the raid. She hasn't seen some of her regular customers in weeks. The day of the raid, a woman came around to inform vendors about ICE agents in the area. When her customers passed by, Soriano warned them. Pichardo, who has been selling at the swap meet for five years, also remembers the day of the ICE raid. He was sitting in the booth with his dad when he heard someone on the phone mention that ICE was two blocks away. Many vendors left. He packed his products into his truck and drove away. As he exited the lot, he saw two unmarked white vans outside. Not long after, according a statement the Santa Fe Swap Meet's statement posted on Instagram, more than 110 armed federal agents in tactical gear, alongside a military helicopter, raided the swap meet and detained at least two people hours before a concert with five Mexican bands was supposed to take place. 'It was a regular day until somebody said 'ICE,'' Pichardo said. 'Then everyone was panicking. They knew ICE was in the area, but they didn't know they would come in.' A friend who has been selling clothes at the swap meet for nearly 10 years hid in a shipping container for several hours until everybody left to avoid the chaos of the raid, Pichardo said. In its statement on Instagram, the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet said of the raid that they 'were given no notice of their arrival and at no point' consented to ICE enforcement. 'To be clear, the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet, and its personnel did not coordinate with ICE or participate in any preplanning of immigration enforcement with federal officials,' they said in the statement. 'These actions were completely out of our control.' Swap meet managers declined to comment on the effects of the raid on vendors and customers. The raid at Santa Fe Springs reverberated elsewhere. At the Vineland Swap Meet in La Puente, California, vendors also said they've seen a decline in business, even though their swap meet has not been raided. Felipe, who asked that his last name not be shared because he fears ICE will target his family, has been selling packaged food, restaurant supplies and knickknacks at the Vineland meet with his parents for over 15 years. He also said that business had declined in the last month since the ICE raids, but it is slowly increasing. In an interview on July 16, he said that day was the busiest it had been since the raids started. Still, not everything has returned to normal. He said that there was a woman across from his booth that initially sold clothes but started selling tools at Vineland; since the raids started, her spot has been empty. She was there longer than his family was. He said it is sad not seeing her and wondering if it is because of fear. His family also has regular customers, and he said there are many he hasn't seen since the raids started, but for the most part many still go to be supportive. It is the way his family sustains their livelihood. 'I think a lot of people are afraid, so they don't, they don't drop by,' Felipe said. 'I think it's recently been picking it back up, but it's still slow.' Wendy Alma Flores, who has been at a booth ath the Vineland meet giving senior citizens information about Medicare for a year and a half, said that she was initially scared for her clients and she was even afraid to go to the meet because she didn't want to put anyone at risk. She said many vendors didn't have a choice and returned because they needed the income. But she said she believes more people are showing up because they are learning about their rights, getting more educated and learning how to protect themselves. As a local, Flores said she has been going to the swap meet since she was a kid and remembers walking through the lines of vendors with her family. Now she has her own booth with regulars who sit with her just to have a conversation. 'It's good to see people come back and just see the community united again,' Flores said. 'People actually care about each other.' At the Santa Fe Springs meet, almost five weeks after the raid, Soriano saw a weekly customer she fondly refers to as 'güera' return for the first time. She said the woman usually buys candy, fruit-juice punch and Gatorade. She has been encouraging more people to come back to the swap meets. 'A lot of these people, they're family to me,' Soriano said. The community is starting to rebuild. In a July 17 interview, Pichardo said it was the busiest the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet had been in weeks. He said the rebuilding of the community speaks to the resilience of Latinos in Los Angeles. 'That's the Latino community. We do come together in a time of need, and we do support each other when it's necessary,' Pichardo said. 'It's started picking up already.'
