When the Apple Watch Series 9 was released back in September of last year, it quickly found a spot on our list of the best smartwatches around. Apple products typically come with relatively high prices, and the Apple Watch Series 9 is no different. But as time goes on, we've found plenty of ways to save money, with discounts of $100 or more cropping up often. You can save by trading in your old watch, signing up for a new line and more.
Watch this: Apple Watch Series 9 Review: A Slightly More Convenient Watch

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 allows you to operate the device using just the thumb and index finger on your watch-wearing hand. Keep in mind that Apple has removed the watch's blood oxygen feature because of a patent dispute. There might still be some with the feature enabled at various retailers, so make sure to check for that if it's important to you. We've built a list of the best possible prices -- and we'll be updating it too. Be sure to check back if you don't see a deal that hits the spot today.
The 2023 Apple Watch is also the first to include on-device Siri commands, new Ultra Wideband capabilities and a brighter display for better outdoor visibility. A new pink aluminum color is available this year.
