Best Apple Watch Series 9 deals: Save up to $130 on a new Apple Watch and more with trade-in
The Apple Watch Series 9 was released last September, and while we’re eagerly awaiting what will be announced at Apple’s big event next week, we’re still pretty happy with the Series 9. In fact, it’s the best smartwatch on the market right now. Apple products tend to come with relatively high prices, and the Apple Watch Series 9 is no exception. But as time has gone on, we’ve found plenty of ways to save money, with $100 or more discounts popping up frequently. You can save by trading in your old watch, signing up for a new line, and more.

Upgraded with a new S9 chipset, the first meaningful processor change since the Series 6, the Apple Watch Series 9 is faster and more power-efficient than previous models. The S9 chip enables a new feature Apple calls Double Tap, which lets you control the device using just the thumb and index finger of your watch-wearing hand. Note that Apple has removed the blood oxygen feature from the watch due to a patent dispute. There may still be some at various retailers with the feature enabled, so check back if it’s important to you. We’ve compiled a list of the best possible prices — and we’ll be updating it, too. Keep checking back if you don’t see a deal that’s just right today.
The 2023 Apple Watch also debuts on-device Siri commands, new Ultra Wideband capabilities, and a brighter display for better outdoor visibility. A new rose aluminum color is now available, too.
