it's utility. people can just go on hike, run, walk, etc without carrying their phone and still be connected to the world in case someone wants to reach out. usually there is additional $10pm charge to avail this service. or you can continue using wifi only and never take advantage of cellular.

This Series 11 GPS deal stands out as a strong price on Apple's current aluminum watch, especially for shoppers who want the standard phone companion experience. The 42 millimeter and 46 millimeter sizes are worth trying on in person, and the included Walmart band is a plain silicone strap rather than an Apple band choice. Cellular adds the ability to leave the phone behind for calls, texts, GPS, and fall detection, but it brings an extra monthly service fee and battery tradeoffs. A solid option if you want the newest model without paying full retail.

  • Cellular connectivity lets you leave your phone at home while still using call, text, and GPS.

  • Cellular service can support activities like hikes and runs without carrying a phone for reachability.

    holly_molly

  • Apple Store band options can be higher quality than the plain silicone band included with the Walmart watch.

    HilariousTree3103

  • A $77 Amazon refund reportedly brought the final price close to this deal, validating the purchase timing.

    ToddBMCV1

  • Cellular use can reduce battery life, with concerns raised about watch capacity lasting under 24 hours.

    Soda78

  • Walmart reportedly refused to price match its own lower price, requiring a return and rebuy.

    Seseo

  • Walmart delivery reportedly resulted in lost Apple Watches when OnTrac allegedly stole packages without a refund.

    StrongMind5799

  • The deal may not improve further soon after release, since $100 off current Apple Watch models reportedly appears rare early.

Excellent price.

I'm debating on getting 46 mm with or without Cellular (5G).

It ain't gonna get better than this!

Use PayPal (with Chase Freedom) for an additional 5% cash back (in December)!

Is there a point to getting the gps cellular model if you don't plan on getting a cell plan for it? What can you do with a watch cell plan anyway? Reply to iMessages?

you can leave the phone at home and just take watch to be connected for call/text/gps on cellular without needing your phone. you get a same number as your phone and is a paid service for additional cost.

I hadn't thought of that at all. Hard for me to imagine doing those things with a small screen, but I guess they made it work.

If you don't know if 42mm or 46mm fits you best, go to the Apple store to try on. Also see the bands that are available for the watch. The bands that come with the Walmart watch it's a silicone plain band. When you buy a watch at the Apple Store, it comes with a choice of band. Any band over $50 you would pay the difference. I found the Apple bands to be much better in quality.

This or the series 10 gps and Ven that was $250 before Black Friday? Is the series 11 worth the $50 difference?

Ever so slightly larger battery. On the 46mm battery increased from 1,266 Wh up to 1,403 Wh on Series 11. So a little under 10%.

I couldn't find the numbers for the 42mn, but it is .3 grams heavier, so I'd assume there was a similar tiny bump.

Other than that I would just stay on the S10.

Wild to me that Walmart won't price match themselves from a week ago. Have to return and rebuy. Great deal though...
