Amazon this week has a collection of discounts on the Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Ultra 2, providing near all-time low prices on both of these wearables.
Apple Watch SE

Apple's 40mm GPS Apple Watch SE is available for $189.00 today on Amazon, down from $249.00. This is just $10 higher compared to the all-time low price on the wearable. This deal is available in all three aluminum color options, and only Amazon has the discount.
You can also get the 44mm GPS Apple Watch SE on sale right now, available for $219.00 on Amazon, down from $279.00. This is another near all-time low price that's just $10 away from the lowest price on the Apple Watch SE, and it's also available in all three aluminum colors.
This model of the Apple Watch SE launched in September 2022 and remains Apple's most affordable Apple Watch. The Apple Watch SE lacks some of the upgraded features you'll find in some Series 9 or Ultra 2 models, like temperature sensing and ECG functionality, but it will otherwise provide you with all key Apple Watch features, and at the cheapest price possible.
Apple Watch Ultra 2
Finally, we're also tracking a solid deal on one model of the Apple Watch Ultra 2. You can get the model with the Indigo Alpine Loop (Small) for $714.00 on Amazon, down from $799.00. While this is the only model at $714.00, Amazon also has a bigger collection of Ultra 2 models at $719.00, a solid second-best price.

Never buying SE again, the lack of fast charging and on-screen keyboard are too big of a deal for me plus the early drop of support for gen 1 made this a worse than expected experience

Still need an entry $99 SE model that comes without a band or charger. That’s all extra. :rolleyes:
At least you can pick the band with Apple Watch Studio, you're not stuck with a default sport band you'll never use. The custom combinations of band and computer aren't unique SKUs AFAIK, so Apple could do similar with the charger. Ask "Do you need a charger?" with the standard and fast charger as options, etc. Then again, the charger in-box may be regulatory, or for the simple aspect of having what you need, as a new user, to use the device.
