UPDATE: Mar. 22, 2024, 9:45 a.m. EDT Amazon's Big Spring Sale is here, but the Apple Watch deals aren't impressing us yet. Still, we've found a few standouts from Amazon and other retailers. We've updated this story with current pricing and availability. Fun fact about Apple Watches: Big sale or not, at most points in the year you can find the latest models for significantly cheaper than their MSRPs. And most times, you'll find those deals at Amazon. With Amazon running its Big Spring Sale from March 20 to 25, we expected to see some Apple Watch markdowns there this week that were better than the run-of-the-mill deals we see year-round. For the uninitiated, a discount of $50 to $70 off is fairly run-of-the-mill, and not all that challenging to find during the off-season (if such a time even exists anymore). Amazon hasn't released any Apple Watch deals out the ordinary for the sale's first three days, but there's still time left. That means we're looking elsewhere for the best Apple Watch deals. On March 19, Best Buy slashed $100 off the price of the Series 9 as a 24-hour deal of the day. Not to be outdone, Amazon price-matched some (but not all) of the Series 9 models. Those prices are back up as of this writing, but we're hoping to see at leasta return to this discount. Though this is an Amazon sale for Prime and non-Prime members alike, we'll be keeping our eyes peeled across the web for new Apple Watch deals (Walmart's competing sale certainly has some options) — and making sure to keep this list updated as we find them. Check out what we've found so far below. Check out our full review of the Apple Watch Series 9. We won't sugarcoat it — we much prefer the $100 off deal Best Buy had on the Series 9 just before the start of Amazon's sale. With that said, though it's not unusual to see the 45mm Series 9 hit $70 off, it's way less common than seeing it hit $50 off (which is what Amazon is offering at the time of writing). If you want to enjoy that always-on display to its fullest, opting for larger watch face at this price isn't a bad move. If you were especially bummed about the Series 9's recent loss of its blood oxygen feature, this deal may help offset that disappointment. Apple Watch Series 9 (41mm, GPS) — $329 Apple Watch Series 9 (41mm, GPS) — $329 Apple Watch Series 9 (45mm, GPS) — $349 Apple Watch Series 9 (41mm, GPS + cellular) — $429 Apple Watch Series 9 (45mm, GPS + cellular) — $449 Walmart has had this deal live for a few weeks now, but that doesn't change the fact that this is a solid deal. If you're looking for less of a completely decked-out fitness tracker and more of a basic smartwatch, the SE will be more than enough for you, and cost you over $100 less than the Series 9's best sale price. You'll get the basics like a heart rate monitor, crash detection, and an OLED Retina display. Apple Watch SE (40mm, GPS) — $199.99 Apple Watch SE (44mm, GPS) — $209 Apple Watch SE (44mm, GPS) — $219 Apple Watch SE (40mm, GPS + cellular) — $229 This Ultra deal is the one Apple Watch deal from Amazon worth a top pick spot — but Best Buy has also price-matched it. Though it's not quite as common as the $50 to $70 markdown on the Series 9, we will say that we saw the Ultra 2 hit $739 a few times last year, and we wouldn't be shocked if its price dropped a bit more at some point during this spring sale. Still, if you want to buy the Ultra 2 ASAP, this is the best price you'll find on a brand-new model. Apple Watch Ultra 2 (49mm, GPS + cellular) — $749 TopicsAmazonAppleApple WatchTable of Contents
