Apple introduced the new Apple Watch SE this year, offering all of the essential Apple Watch functionality in a slightly less costly package. The Apple Watch SE is almost identical to the Series 6, but it does not have ECG or blood oxygen functionality, as those health features take hardware that Apple did not include in the lower-cost option.

Apple Watch SE should have started at this price in the first place and discontinued the series 3

What's with Apple products having sales all of the time anymore? These, headphones, and homepods. It's starting to make buying things on day 1 seem like a bad idea.
It is the company's transition to services, they need volume sales to drive user base up.

They will not do these flash sales themselves so they use authorized sales partners like Amazon BestBuy, Walmart, etc. to do it.

And quite frankly I think it is working, $230 is a good price for the leading wearable device on the market... then this person is likely to bump up iCloud storage, subscribe to Music or to their fitness service, all triggered by owning the hardware.
