The Apple Watch Series 6 is $249 now at Best Buy

Best Buy ~~and Amazon are~~ is offering the 40mm Apple Watch Series 6 (GPS) for $249, smashing yesterday’s discounted price of $299. This model normally sold for $399, and today’s price drop makes it more affordable than — and superior to — the Apple Watch SE that costs $279. The one downside to this promo is that it only loops in the Product Red model that’s all red, which might not go with your look.

At this price, it’s currently about $80 more than 38mm-sized Apple Watch Series 3, yet it provides a sizable boost in power and capabilities. For one, the Series 6 has more internal storage. A few other perks of this discounted watch include its always-on display that’s surprisingly efficient, and its ability to take blood oxygen readings. You can see all of the differences here.

This deal is lasting until later today, April 29th. A couple of Verge staffers noticed that Best Buy has stock available for pick-up at their local stores, but it’s no longer available for shipping. Since publishing this story earlier, Amazon has sold out of stock.

Other deals you should know about today include Woot’s one-day sale on the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro wireless earbuds. These keep dropping in price, and this deal is the best yet. If you use the Woot mobile app (iOS, Android) to buy them and have Amazon Prime, you’ll get 10 percent off the order. So, instead of paying $170 (which matches the lowest price we’d seen up to this point), you’ll pay just $153 before tax.

If you don’t want to jump through those hoops, here’s the link to its site where you can get them for $170.

Google’s Wifi mesh system released in 2016, and even though its been succeeded by the Nest Wifi, it’s still worth snagging one of these routers as a replacement or to add onto your Google or Nest Wifi setups.

Lastly, Daily Steals has yet another good deal if you want a new wireless gaming headset and don’t mind buying one that released a few years ago. Logitech’s G533 with DTS 7.1 virtual surround sound is just $55 by using the offer code VERGELGTCH. Former Verge editor Vlad Savov spoke highly of its sound quality in 2017 when they used to cost $150. These are rated to last up to 15 hours per charge and the battery is replaceable.

Update April 29th, 11:44AM ET: Amazon has sold through its stock of the discounted Apple Watch Series 6, so Best Buy is your only option left today if you want to get the $249 deal. Also, you may need to pick up your purchase, as we’ve noticed that home delivery isn’t available in some locations.
