"Then, I began running, tracking my weight-lifting sessions at the gym, and learning about all of the health features the smartwatch has to offer. I also used my Apple Watch during the workday and found it helpful for receiving messages while I was away from my laptop. I also learned about a new movement to turn those tiny smartwatches into fully functional dumb phones, leaving the actual phone at home. It became clear: I finally understood why someone would want a second screen around their wrist."
"That didn't address the other, more pressing question: do I have the money to spend $300 on a smartwatch? The answer to that is: You don't need to spend $300. If you shop sales and keep a year-long eye out for deals (which most companies almost always participate in), you can buy a discounted Apple Watch -- yes, even a newer model -- for less."
Apple Watch offers fitness, health and notification features that make it a practical second screen on the wrist. Users employ the watch for running, weight-lifting, health tracking and receiving messages away from a laptop. A movement exists to use smartwatches as standalone “dumb” phones, leaving the phone at home. Buying a new Apple Watch does not require spending $300; discounted newer models appear regularly during sales events. Retailers often lower prices ahead of and during Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Recent discounts include $100 off the Ultra 3 and $49 off the SE 3.
