Watch this: Apple Watch Series 9 Review: A Slightly More Convenient Watch
07:56
Whether you want to surprise someone with a big gift for the holidays or you are looking for an upgrade yourself, you can’t get much better than the Apple Watch Series 9. Released in September of this year, it’s already earned a spot on our list of best smartwatches of 2023. Of course, because it’s still a relatively new watch, there aren’t a lot of straightforward discounts yet. Instead, you’ll mostly find trade-in credit offers, or “buy one and get another one at a discount” deals. And if you buy the watch from almost any other retailer, you can get it for at least $9 cheaper than at Apple’s store (and right now, a good bit more). We’ll keep updating this page regularly as we find better deals, so be sure to check back.
