In addition to the thousands of products on sale during Amazon Prime Day, the Apple Watch collection of smartwatches is also discounted. Whether it's the entry-level SE, standard Series 9, or the advanced Ultra 2, now's the time to buy if you've had your eye on one. And there are plenty of deals on Apple Watch accessories, such as chargers and bands.
Right now, the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) is down to an all-time low, and the Series 9 is an impressive 30% off. Since these deals are set to last just two days — July 16 and 17 — you'll have to act quickly. In prior events, various Apple Watch models have been known to sell out on the first days.
Of course, you'll also find plenty of big discounts on other Apple products, including laptops and iPads. For more great deals that we recommend, check out our best Prime Day deals. Remember: You'll need a Prime Membership in order to get the special pricing, but you can sign up for a 30-day free trial if you aren't already a member.
The latest Apple Watch comes in three models, the Series 9, the SE, and the Ultra 2. Which option you buy depends on your wants and budget.
The Series 9 is the standard model and the best Apple Watch for most people. It offers Apple's latest smartwatch and health and fitness tech, like faster performance thanks to a new chipset and the Double Tap feature that lets you simply activate certain functions with your fingers. Other improvements include a brighter, always-on display, enhanced health and fitness tracking, and more storage. However, Apple has had to disable the blood-oxygen measuring feature on all new Apple Watches due to a patent dispute.
The Apple Watch SE is the entry-level, budget-friendly option, but don't write it off just because of that. Despite being two years old, it has many of the great attributes that make the Apple Watch so popular — including important safety sensors like crash and fall detection — and will appeal to many users. Unlike the Series 9, you don't get the large, always-on display, Double Tap, newer S9 chipset, aluminum or stainless steel option, and other advanced tech. You also don't get some of the advanced health and fitness tracking features, or you'll get an older generation of them. But if you're looking for an affordable and reliable Apple Watch, the SE more than delivers on the essentials.
On the other end of the scale is the premium Apple Watch Ultra 2. Made from titanium, Apple took the Series 9 and beefed it up in size and features. It's only available in one size (the Series 9 and SE come in two sizes), but you get the largest and brightest screen to date on an Apple Watch. It's also extremely durable, as it's designed for outdoors and endurance use; there are extra sensors for those purposes, like a depth gauge. There's also an extra button called the Action Button, which gives you quick access to a favorite function. But possibly the best feature is its long battery life, which gives you over a day before recharging. However, all these benefits come at a higher cost; for most people, it's overkill.
