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.
Your support makes all the difference.Apple is widely expected to reveal a range of new smartwatches at its next product launch event on 7 September – and that means prices of current-generation Apple Watches are starting to drop.
We’ve spotted up to 20 per cent off the 2021 Watch SE, which is available in a range of sizes, colours and configurations.
The Watch SE is a good option for Apple fans who want a smartwatch but don’t want to splash out on the Watch series 7. The SE has the same design and many of the same features as its pricier sibling, and deals at Amazon make it even better value for money.
Amazon has money off the GPS and cellular versions of the Apple Watch SE, and in a range of colours, including gold, black and silver.

Amazon currently has 20 per cent off several versions of the Apple Watch SE. This model has the smaller 40mm case (as opposed to the larger 44mm option) and has GPS, wifi and Bluetooth (but no cellular to make calls without an iPhone nearby). It has an aluminium case finished in space grey, with a rubber sport band in a colour Apple calls midnight (we call it black).
Launched in 2021, this generation of Apple Watch SE has a heart-rate monitor with notifications for irregular heart rhythm, plus a fall-detection system that checks if you’re OK, then makes an emergency call if you don’t respond.

This Apple Watch is much like the one above, but has an aluminium case that is silver instead of space grey, and it comes with a fabric ‘sport loop’ strap finished in blue and green. This smartwatch has wifi, Bluetooth and GPS, like many others, but also comes equipped with its own cellular connection, so it can stream music over 4G and handle phone calls without being connected to an iPhone.
There’s also NFC (near-field communication) for contactless payments using Apple Pay, and you can hook up a pair of AirPods for wireless music on the go.
