END OF SEASON The sale is in full swing, and while brands like Apple rarely participate in such discounts, Amazon continues to be on the hook with deals on top Apple devices. Right now, every single Apple Watch model is on sale for up to 25 percent discountmaking it one of the best times of the year to buy wearable devices.
In a rarely moment (we’ve only seen it once so far), even the Apple Watch Ultra 2, our top fitness tracker for iPhone users, is $100 off. I had to refresh the page a few times to make sure I wasn’t seeing anything. I mean, the only time the price had dropped that low was on Prime Day, so it was almost too good to be true to see such a deep discount again.
You know what that means: Chances are these deals won’t be around for long, so if you’ve got your eye on one of these Apple Watches, you might want to strike while the iron is hot. Let’s take a closer look at each model.
Apple Watch Series 2
The Ultra 2 is Apple’s top-of-the-line model and just can’t keep up with the technology in the other models. The watch has a battery life of up to 36 hours (it lasts up to 72 hours in power saving mode) – more than any other model. The screen is large at 49mm and the brightness is up to 3,000 nits. While other models are water resistant up to 50 meters, the Ultra 2 is water resistant up to 100 meters. Plus, thanks to the built-in compass, altimeter and water temperature sensor, you can take your watch with you on any adventure you’ve planned. Of course, you get the standard safety features (emergency SOS and accident and fall detection), activity tracking, sleep, heart rate and blood oxygen monitors, an ECG and temperature sensors. So all in all, it’s a great watch for anyone who loves being outdoors.
Apple Watch Series 9
While a step below the Ultra 2, the Series 9 is Apple’s latest watch, and it offers plenty of tech upgrades at a reasonable price. The watch introduced Double Tap, a feature that lets you control your wearable device literally with just your fingertips: tap to snooze alarms, answer and end calls, and more. You’ll also find classic features (activity tracking, heart rate and sleep monitors, a temperature sensor, and a blood oxygen monitor) built into the device. All of the updates are thanks to the S9 SiP, the watch’s new internal processor that makes it brighter, faster, and an all-around smarter, more capable device.
Apple Watch SE (2nd generation)
While there are a handful of other models on sale, don’t overlook the Apple Watch SE (2nd generation). Sure, it’s a basic pick, but for under $200, you get all the standard features of a wearable watch at an unbeatable price. While it lacks an ECG, temperature sensor, and blood oxygen monitoring, it’s still impressive with up to 18 hours of battery life, a sleep monitor, activity tracking (including heart rate zones), and more. When I dropped my Series 5 and the screen shattered, the SE (2nd generation) was the only Apple Watch I considered, and I’ve never looked back. The cellular model is also on sale for $240.
Apple Watch Series 8
While I’m not surprised to see an older model like this Series 8 on sale, in dollar terms, this is one of the steepest price cuts. This model introduced Apple’s wearables with blood oxygen monitoring and temperature sensors, while also adding an ECG and other standard features. The device has up to 18 hours of battery life, and the model on sale is a GPS+Cellular selection, so you can stay connected even when you don’t have your iPhone with you. I could go on and on about how much I love having an Apple Watch with the cellular model. It’s a totally hands-free device for jogging, running errands, and beyond.
