41mm Apple Watch Series 9 Now Available for $300
If you’re considering an Apple Watch but don’t want to spend the Ultra tier , the Apple Watch Series 9 (GPS + Cellular, 41mm) is currently on sale for $299.99 on Woot, down from $529. It’s brand new (not refurbished) and comes with Apple’s one-year limited warranty . It comes in two colors: a silver case with a midnight blue band, or a pink case with a light pink band. Both fit small to medium wrists, and shipping is free for Prime members (everyone else pays $6 for shipping). The offer lasts for three days or until supplies last, whichever comes first.
The Series 9 is a bit smaller than the newer Series 10 , and it lacks some of the extra features designed for outdoor-focused users found on the Ultra 2. But unless you’re into trail trekking or obsessed with the brightest screen possible, the Series 9 gives you almost everything else for a lot less. You get dual-gesture controls for hands-free control, a bright always-on display, fast performance, and Siri built into the watch. It also supports sleep tracking, mental health tools, vision tracking, and the usual fitness and cycling features. PCMag named it the best smartwatch of 2023 and gave it an Editors’ Choice award at launch, noting how good it is for its price range.
Since this is the GPS + Cellular version , you can stream music, take calls, or use maps without having to carry your iPhone. This is especially useful if you’re running, cycling, or just want to stay connected without carrying your phone. Battery life is rated at 18 hours, or up to 36 hours in low power mode, which is more than enough for most users to wear every day. For those who don’t need the latest version but still want full access to Apple’s ecosystem and features, Series 9 offers a practical and feature-rich option at a much lower price than the latest models.
