Best Apple Watch deals in September 2023 | Tom

The release of the Apple Watch 9 has triggered a new wave of Apple Watch deals. Amazon and Best Buy are leading the charge and we expect to see more deals in the coming days. If you're looking for deals on Apple's new watches, we haven't seen that many sales other than a modest $10 discount at Amazon. That said, deals will ramp up as we enter the holiday season.

So whether you're searching for deals on the Apple Watch SE or the new Apple Watch 9, here are the best sales right now. Plus, make sure to read our Apple Watch 9 vs Apple Watch 8 comparison.  

Editor's Tip: Amazon tends to offer the best Apple Watch deals of all the retailers. However, the deals change rapidly and they vary based on size/color and connectivity. Your best bet is to check the Apple Watch/Amazon homepage, which lists every model of the Apple Watch (along with any price drops). Remember to click through the model you want because at times Amazon will offer hidden coupons/discounts that you can only see on the product page. Active promos will be applied during the final checkout stage. 

Apple Watch 9 (GPS/41mm): was $399 now $389 @ Amazon Apple Watch 9 deals are live and Amazon is taking a modest $10 off. The new watch features a faster S9 chip for better performance, 4-core neural engine, and an 18-hour battery life. It also supports Apple Double Tap, a new gesture that can be used to answer/end a call, stop a timer, play/pause music, or dismiss an alarm. Note it may show up as out of stock, but you can still buy it at this price and Amazon will notify you when it ships. Price check: $399 @ Best Buy

Apple Watch Ultra 2: was $799 now $779 @ Amazon The Apple Watch Ultra 2 sports plenty of big upgrades from its predecessor. Updates include a new S9 SiP processor with 5.6 billion transistors, 30% faster GPU, and 4-core neural engines that can power machine learning two times faster than Apple Watch Series 8. It also boasts a brighter (3,000 nits) display. It's a modest discount, but Amazon has it on sale for $779. Price check: $799 @ Best Buy

Apple Watch 8 (41mm/GPS): was $399 now $279 @ Best Buy The Apple Watch 8 sports a new skin temperature sensor to monitor sleep tracking and cycle tracking.
