If you’ve been planning on buying an Apple Watch Series 9, now’s a great time to do so: the smartwatch is currently on sale for $280 on Amazon Prime Day, a pretty sweet discount of $119 for the Prime Day sale, $15 off the lowest price ever, but the sale appears to be just for the smaller 41mm model.
Despite only being launched in September of last year, this is the best smartwatch of 2024 so far. We gave the Apple Watch Series 9 a score of 92 in our review, praising the on-device Siri, which works even when offline or when the wearable isn’t connected to your phone. For example, if you don’t want to take your phone to the gym, no problem: you can ask Siri on your watch for health data like your steps.
The Apple Watch Series 9 is just $280 on Amazon Prime Day.
The company also improved Siri’s “Raise to Speak” feature on the Watch 9, better predicting your requests and responding faster without you having to say “Hey Siri” or press the Digital Crown. Apple also introduced the double-tap gesture with this model, allowing you to answer calls, reply to messages, and perform other actions by simply tapping your thumb and index finger twice simultaneously.
I found the double tap to be useful when I have one hand free to do other things, like cleaning or reading, but it might take a bit of practice to get the right tap tempo, since if you tap too quickly or too subtly, the watch might not recognize the gesture.
Additionally, the Watch 9 comes with comprehensive advanced health features, including ECG capabilities and an oxygen sensor. It also has a sleep tracker that can detect the time you spend in REM, core, or deep sleep. In short, you’re getting one of the best smartwatches on the market at the lowest price ever. Don’t miss out, grab this deal while it’s still on!
