## What happened

Apple added Apple Watch Series 11, SE 3, and Ultra 3 to its Education Store on May 8, 2026, across 21 markets including the US, UK, India, Canada, and Australia. Students and educators receive $40-$80 discounts depending on model, with the Ultra 3 dropping to $719 and becoming cheaper than third-party listings.

## Our take

Apple Watch is now in the Education Store with $40 to $80 off depending on the model. Students and teachers in 21 countries can get the Series 11, SE 3, or Ultra 3 at a discount with verified eligibility. The Ultra 3 at $719 comes in below most third-party resellers. This is a straightforward expansion of a discount program that already existed for iPhone and Mac.
