So you might have to pay even more for the cheapest Apple Watch than you did before, unless Apple continues to sell the older Apple Watch SE… This is according to LeaksApplePro (writing for iDropNews) who claims Apple will bump the price of the Apple Watch SE to $299.

If Apple stops selling the $199/£179 model it would be a surprise if it also raised the price of the Apple Watch SE, and yet like the iPhone SE, the next Apple Watch SE might have a higher price. In contract the Apple Watch SE (GPS model) sells for $279/£249 for the 40mm model, or $309/£279 for the 44mm model. Does this mean it will get a price drop? The Apple Watch Series 3 currently sells for $199/£179 for the 38mm model or $229/£209 for the 42mm model. If the Apple Watch 3 is discontinued the Apple Watch SE 2 will become the new entry-level Apple Watch. Gurman has also predicted that the Apple Watch Series 3 will be discontinued, which is no surprise given the fact that the Apple Watch 3 won’t even be able to run the new watchOS 9. We expect to see these three watches launch at the same time as the new iPhone 14. Back in February 2022 Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman wrote that he expects a new SE to launch alongside the Apple Watch Series 8, but that’s not all – he also expects to see an Apple Watch Pro for sports enthusiasts.

An upgraded Apple Watch SE was exptected.
