With Black Friday now just over a week away, it's hard to miss the torrent of deals kicking around. Lots of retailers have jumped the gun, adding their sales events early with deals on offer from the start of November.

I've been hard at work hunting out the best prices on watches, and I've stumbled upon an unexpected goldmine. Walmart can be a little hit and miss when it comes to quality watchmaking, but this year there are a range of great pieces at prices you won't want to miss.

Is it better to wait for Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

I've been working these kinds of events for over ten years, and in my experience, there's no reason to wait for Cyber Monday. While it can be tempting to think better deals will come, watches tend to see their discounts set from when they first go live.

By waiting longer, all you're doing is risking a deal selling out – we've already seen a stack of quality bargains disappear this sales season.

Does Walmart sell Rolex?

Yes, you certainly can buy a Rolex from Walmart. The brand offers a range of pre-owned watches, which often includes models from Rolex.

However, if you're looking to buy one new, you'll need to go through an Approved Dealer for the brand – and you'll have to be prepared to wait for popular models.

Does Walmart sell in the UK?

No, Walmart doesn't have any stores in the UK. Historically, it held a large share in the UK supermarket, Asda, though it has since reduced that while retaining a smaller holding.

Regardless, the two are not the same, and Walmart remains a USA company. For anyone looking to buy watches in the UK, check out my guides to the best watch deals on Amazon and the best dive watch deals.
