Believe it or not, the Apple Watch Series 8 is one of the best budget smartwatches today\u060c<\/p>\n

\n

Despite its somewhat advanced age, the decidedly high-end Apple Watch Series 8 undoubtedly remains one of the best smartwatches money can buy. In many important ways, this 2022-released model is similar or outright identical to 2023's Apple Watch Series 9, and in one key department the older device actually has the upper hand over its successor.<\/p>\n

We're obviously talking about prices, which have been reduced several times for the Series<\/a> 8 at various major US retailers on the heels of the Series 9 launch a few months ago. As Christmas approaches, that's the case once again at Walmart, where you can score this oldie but goodie for as little as $249 right now.<\/div>\n

It's an entry-level GPS-only model with a small 41mm body in a bunch of different colors<\/a>, mind you, while a large 45mm unit with standalone 4G LTE connectivity, for example, can be purchased at $349 after a very attractive $180 discount. starting at a list price of $529.<\/p>\n

The 41mm and 45mm non-cellular variants both get a slightly more modest but still pretty significant $150 off their regular prices of $399 and $429 respectively, and last but not least, a smaller Apple Watch Series 8 capable of making and receiving voice calls on their own are currently down from $499 to $329.<\/div>\n

Apple fans can purchase as of this writing. <\/div>\n
