Deal Details
This is probably one of the better deals i have seen on a Apple Watch SE, here are the steps of how I got to this:

Go to paypal and sign up for the $25 off $250 deal, during purchase its a instant $25 off in in the check out page:

Follow this link in slick deal if you need help signing up getting it;

A few key points, when price matching you need to match not only the model but the color as well; so In this case; You are price matching walmart's apple watch se gps only 40mm midnight color [walmart.com]
You will need to buy it at full price at best buy's website, $279 before tax and then use paypal during check out, and it will auto apply the $25 discount during check out (make sure you sign up for the deal mentioned above);

Once you buy the watch at Best Buy's website through paypal. Go back to the main page open the chat box and talk to a live agent for price match; Send them the walmart link and your order number and they will refund you $50 through your original payment (paypal)

So the math should be $279 - $25 (paypal discount) - $50 (best buy refund) = $204 before tax

**If you have Chase Freedom, which i do, you will also get a 5% back in points for Q4-2021 purchasing through paypal using Chase freedom credit card, so that's another $14 worth of points;

Additionally, price matching with Amazon works as an alternative - I tried a price match with the walmart link, but the best buy rep didn't accept it. I retried it with the amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Apple-Watc...96SSLB/ref and was able to get it priced matched that way.

Make sure you price match after placing the order (as stated above).

Tbh it's a little small in my opinion. I bought it (keep in mind I have fairly skinny wrists) and it didn't look right. I have a series 5 44mm and it fits perfectly.

I am wearing Series 1 42mm, so assuming this should be alright.

Is this beating the black friday pricing? On the fence, hence asking.

TIA.

Looks like a good deal. I am still happy with the Apple Watch 3 that I got for half this price - except for the battery life and charging time. Do the newer Apple Watches SE, 6, 7 etc. have better battery life and charging time? Mine barely lasts 24 hours and charging from a low battery takes several hours.

The Fitbit Versa 2 I have lasts 4-5 days. If I charge each morning while in the shower, I would never need to otherwise take it off to charge.

The big advantage of the Apple Watch is that it unlocks my phone with a face mask on. Touch ID was more pandemic 😷 friendly than Face ID.

OR.. you could just buy $250 amazon gift card from best buy and buy the watch at Amazon. This isn't exactly an Apple Watch deal.
