By Felo News Desk · Published
Lifehacker reports that Amazon is offering the 46 mm Apple Watch Series 10 (GPS + Cellular) for $679, a $120 reduction from its standard $799 price.
What happened
The price cut was posted on October 16, 2026, and applies to the titanium‑case version of the Series 10. The discount is presented as a limited‑time deal, with the article noting that pricing and availability may change after publication.
What the report adds
Lifehacker notes that PCMag gave the Series 10 an "outstanding" rating and an Editors' Choice award, calling it the best Apple smartwatch of 2024. The outlet highlights the thinner design, larger always‑on OLED display, and titanium case as key aesthetic improvements over the Series 9.
What was said
Lifehacker’s writer, Pradershika Sharma, explains that the cellular model lets users make calls, reply to messages, stream music and receive notifications without an iPhone nearby, saying, "your phone can stay on the kitchen counter during a morning jog or a quick trip to the corner store, and you’ll still be able to pick up a call from work or reach someone if something goes wrong." The article also quotes PCMag’s assessment of the watch’s health‑tracking capabilities, including heart‑rate, sleep, ECG, blood‑oxygen and accelerometer‑based breathing‑disturbance detection.
How it came about
The discount follows Apple’s recent service‑focused moves, such as the iCloud+ bundle expansion announced on September 15, 2026, and the watchOS 27.0.1 update released on September 28, 2026 that addressed a restart issue for all compatible models, including Series 10. Earlier coverage by Felo News on the Series 12 upgrade (October 3, 2026) noted that the author of that piece originally bought a Series 10 in January 2024, underscoring the model’s continued relevance.
