From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

The Watch SE has always been Apple’s more affordable smartwatch, and now thanks to an Amazon Prime Day deal, it’s even cheaper than ever.

As well as smartwatches and other Apple kit, you’ll find Prime Day discounts on a huge range of products across gaming, home appliances, alcohol, technology, televisions and more. And don’t forget our Prime Day live blog, featuring constant coverage of all the best deals from the two-day shopping event.

But back to the Apple Watch SE. When comparing it to the then-new Watch series 6, our reviewer praised the budget wearable for its ability to “offer something very nearly as brilliant for a lot less money.” They added that “If you want a smart, effective watch that counts your steps, calories and warns you if it spots something erratic in your heart rate, then the SE will be more than fine.”

So now that Amazon has reduced it from its usual retail price of £269 to £217, saving you 19 per cent, there really is no better time to invest.

We’ve found this amazing Prime Day deal on the Watch SE. It does only apply to the smaller 40mm case in gold aluminium, and a rubber sports band finished in pale pink, but we didn’t think you’d mind – after all, a saving of £52 on any Apple product is nothing to sniff at.

This model is only GPS and wifi compatible, so misses out on its own 4G connection. So while you can’t receive messages and make calls while away from your iPhone, it does means the Watch SE is free to use without needing to worry about paying for a monthly data plan.

Like its pricier series 7 sibling, the SE is water resistant to 50m, has a heart rate monitor with irregular heart rate notifications, and there’s fall detection with an emergency SOS calling function too.

Battery life is a claimed 18 hours, depending on how you use the smartwatch, and the watch can play music, deliver notifications, and handle calls via a Bluetooth connection to your iPhone. As with all models of Apple Watch, the SE is only compatible with iPhones and does not work with Android handsets.
