If you're an avid Amazon shopper, you probably already know Prime Day is here—and that it ends tonight at midnight PST. Like Amazon's Prime Day sales of the past, prices dropped across all categories, featuring some of the site's best-selling products like the Apple Watch. Discounts include the brand's latest technology like the Apple Watch Series 9, which is currently $120 off in a huge steal.
Ahead, we're getting into all of the best Prime Day Apple Watch deals you'll want to shop before the sale ends. Of course, Apple tech is always in high demand, so you'll want to take advantage of these deals while they're still around. Plus, if you're not an Amazon Prime member and you're looking to sign up, they're offering a free 30-day trial, so you can shop these deals and more.
Best GPS Apple Watch Deals
Apple Watch Series 9 (GPS 45mm) is $309 (28% off; $120 off)
The Apple Watch Series 9 is one of the latest Apple Watch models, and includes a sleep tracker, activity tracker and an edge-to-edge, always on Retina display. There's also a temperature sensor, an ECG, as well as fall and crash detection safety features that will prompt you to contact emergency services. The watch has an 18-hour battery life, or when used in low power mode, up to 36 hours.
Apple Watch SE (2nd Generation) (GPS, 40mm) is $169 (32% off; $80 off)
The 2nd generation Apple Watch SE is currently the most affordable Apple Watch available on Amazon. The $200 price tag makes it a bit more budget friendly, but you're still getting a wearable packed with high-tech features. This model gives you a heart rate monitor, activity tracker, sleep monitor, and fall and crash detection — you just won't get the blood oxygen monitor or temperature sensor. The Retina display is slightly smaller than the Series 9, but it's a great option if you're looking to break into the world of wearables.

Apple Watch Series 9 (GPS + Cellular 41mm) is $579 (17% off; $120 off)
Like the Series 9 model we outlined above, this on-sale model adds the cellular connectivity. It has all the same great features, plus adds hands-free calling and texting to your wrist so you can stay connected on long walks or runs without using your phone.
Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) (GPS + Cellular 40mm) is $220 (26% off; $79 off)
Again, the SE line from Apple is designed to be more budget-friendly, so we're excited to see the sale extended to the GPS and Cellular model as well. The price stays under $250 so it won't blow your budget, but you'll still have access to fitness and health tracking, sleep monitoring, and hands free calling and texting.
Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) (GPS + Cellular 44mm) is $250 (24% off; $80 off)
If you're looking for an affordable pick with a bigger screen, this Apple Watch is for you. As opposed to the Apple Watch SE (GPS + Cellular) shared above, this one has a larger screen at 44mm. Otherwise, it boasts the same bells and whistles like high and low heart rate notifications.
Are Apple Watches cheaper on Amazon Prime Day?
Yes! There are major deals on Apple Watches right now, whether you're shopping the newer Series 9 or a more baseline model like the SE. Memorial Day this year had surprisingly good Apple Watch sales, so we're excited to see comparable deals during Prime Day. Apple itself brand rarely (if ever) does its own sales, so shopping on a site like Amazon is a great move if you're looking to save.
How do I know which Apple Watch is right for me?
The best way to choose your Apple Watch is to consider what you're looking to get out of your wearable. For example, if you're looking to get your first Apple Watch without breaking the budget, and don't feel like you need the most high-tech option — the 2nd Generation Apple Watch SE should cover all the basic functions, and it's the most affordable. On the other hand (or should we say wrist), if you've had an older watch model and want the latest and greatest wearable loaded with advanced features, like a larger and brighter screen, the Series 9 will feel like a real upgrade.
Beyond some tech specs we'll get into below, the biggest difference between Apple Watches is whether it's a GPS model or a GPS + Cellular connectivity model. If you have a GPS only watch, you'll have access to calls and texts while your iPhone is nearby. But, if you'd rather not have to keep your phone nearby in order to access data, you're better off with a GPS + Cellular model that lets you go phone-free once you connect your wearable to your cellular data plan.
