Apple Watch Series 9 is Cheaper Than Ever Today at 20% Less

The deal applies to the GPS-only Watch Series 9, arriving in a 41 mm silver aluminum case matched with a blue sport band that fits small to medium wrists. Other finishes are discounted at $329, which is still just shy from the record low. Regardless of the color you pick, bear in mind that you can swap the wrist straps anytime you like.

Apple Watch Series 9 offers plenty of upgrades underneath the hood

Apple didn't change the Watch Series 9 (review) much from the Watch Series 8 or Watch Series 7 in terms of its exterior, and for good reason considering how Apple's watches design has become iconic.

However, the biggest changes are found internally and in terms of usability. The Watch Series 9 features a new Apple S9 SiP (System-in-Package) chipset. This enables the new Double Tap feature that utilizes finger gestures when performing main actions on the watch.

At the same time, the chipset supports offline Siri voice commands and processes while also improving the accuracy of the assistant and overall health and fitness tracking features.

While unchanged on the outside, the Watch Series 9 has a very bright display that beats the Android smartwatch competition. The brightness peaks at 2,000 nits, which is very useful when outdoors, especially in sunny weather. Even better yet, this makes it a rather functional flashlight.

Despite the speedy processor and brighter panel, you can also expect the same battery life on the Watch Series 9 compared to the previous model. Apple rated it at 18 hours in smartwatch mode, but you can further extend that if you apply battery saving measures such as low power mode.
