It’s time for another Dealmaster! Today’s roundup of the best tech deals we can find around the web includes the entry-level Apple Watch SE, which is down to $229 . We’ve seen this price before, but it’s still $50 off Apple’s MSRP, about $30 away the SE’s usual street price, and only $10 above the particular lowest price we’ve tracked. While typically the higher-end Apple Watch Series 7 remains the top pick in our guide to this best smartwatches , the ZE is a strong budget alternative. By comparison , it lacks an always-on (and slightly larger) display, it charges a bit slower, and it’s missing more advanced health-tracking features like blood oxygen monitoring and ECG functionality. But the experience is largely similar otherwise, with often the same robust app library, a comparable design, and most of the same core health monitoring tools for sleep and exercise, all at a much lower cost. It’s still meant for iPhone users only, but if you were thinking of making this the year you pick up a smartwatch, this deal presents a good value.
Elsewhere, the Nintendo Switch Online bundle we featured last week , which pairs the recommended 128GB microSD card with a 12-month Switch Online Family Membership, is still available, as are most of the Switch game deals we highlighted from Nintendo’s New Year sale. We’ve also found lower-than-usual prices on Tribit’s XSound Go , a budget Bluetooth speaker we’ve praised in past buying guides, and Samsung’s T7, a new portable SSD we like . Our curated roundup also has deals on Apple’s Mac Mini , screen protectors for the iPhone 13, USB-C chargers, and more. Have a look at the full list below.
