Amazon Prime Day 2022 Apple Watch deals: What we expect

(Pocket-lint) – There are a few big days for online sales throughout the year, one of which is Amazon Prime Day. Usually taking place in the middle of the year, Prime Day is a great time to get some great deals through Amazon across a range of devices, including Apple Watch and other smartwatches. Discounts on Apple Watch can be rare but they do exist, and if you don’t have an iPhone and you fancy yourself a Samsung smartwatch or another Wear OS smartwatch instead then there are usually deals to be had across the board from the practical to the fashionable.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Apple Watch and smartwatch deals we are expecting for Prime Day 2022.

When is Prime Day 2022?

Good question. Typically Amazon Prime Day has taken place in the summer, around June or July. In 2019, it took place on 15 July, though in 2020 it was delayed to 13-14 October.

In 2021, it returned to the summer, though a little earlier than 2019, taking place on 21-22 June.  For 2022, Amazon has confirmed Prime Day will take place in July, though it hasn’t specified the exact date as yet. We’re predicting it will be sometime in the middle of the month, likely 12 July or 19 July.

The Prime Day sales often offer similar deals to what we see in the Black Friday sales towards the end of the year, though they are exclusive to Amazon rather than running across a number of retailers.

What devices are likely to be discounted on Prime Day?

There are usually discounts across a number of smartwatch manufacturers during Prime Day, including Apple, Samsung, Fossil and Michael Kors. If you’re after an Apple Watch then there’s a good chance there will be some discounts off the latest model on Prime Day if last year was anything to go by. The latest model is the Apple Watch Series 7, which arrived in September 2021, though it is quite similar in terms of capabilities to the Series 6 so if you find better deals on the 2020 model then you only really miss out on a larger display by opting for that model.

For those that don’t have an iPhone, Prime Day sales have seen discounts on Samsung’s excellent smartwatches too in the past, as well as the fashionable options from Fossil and Michael Kors. We’ve left some of the deals from 2021 below for your reference so you can get an idea of what you might be able to expect. Best US smartwatch deals | Best UK smartwatch deals

Are there genuine deals on Prime Day?

Yes, there are genuine deals during the Prime Day sales and often you will find devices priced the lowest they might have been for several months, though that’s not to say the deals will be the lowest price they’ve ever been.

Other sales days like Black Friday will also have seen discounts on some of the devices.

The Prime Day deals are competitive though and you’ll often get a decent discount on some devices, but remember you don’t have as long as you might have in other sales like the Black Friday sales so if you see a deal then grab it as 24 hours later the price is likely to return to its original retail price.

Do I need to be a Prime member?

You do indeed need to be a Prime member to be able to take advantage of the Prime Day sales. That’s one of the caveats. If you want to get access to the best prices offered during Prime Day then you’ll need to make sure you have your Prime subscription ready.

For those that don’t have Prime membership, it’s worth checking out the 30-day free trial to try out some of the other benefits you get with Amazon Prime, like free delivery, Prime Video, Prime Music, Prime Reading and more. squirrel_widget_157589 Best US smartwatch deals | Best UK smartwatch deals
