Amazon’s 100 best deals happening this October — up to 81% off

Apple watches are one of the most popular products of the technology giant. On any given day, you’re bound to see as many on people’s wrists as you would AirPods in your ears while out and about. But unlike fan-favorite headphones, Apple Watches don’t tend to go on sale that often, which is why it’s crucial to take advantage of these Amazon deals.

By their very definition—telling time—all Apple Watch models let you answer messages and calls via Bluetooth, so you can stay in touch with your loved ones without the phone in your hand. Bluetooth also gives you the ability to stream entertainment such as music, podcasts or audiobooks from your wrist.

These smartwatches also come with a range of health benefits: all models include a built-in heart rate monitor, sleep monitor, pedometer and GPS to track your sleep, exercise and steps every day. If you forget your steps and wellness goals, the watch will remind you of those to keep you on track.

Apple Watch Series 8 smartwatch with midnight aluminum case

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $529 $399

The Apple Watch Series 8 is a customer favorite, and ahead of October’s Prime Day, you can get it for $399, a $130 discount — its lowest price in 30 days. Getting this advanced model for under $400 is a rare Amazon deal, so don’t wait for this one as it’s sure to sell out.

On top of the typical features that customers love, the Series 8 also has the ability to sense your temperature, which can help women learn more about their menstrual and ovulation cycles, and Apple Watch monitors the user’s heart rate, so it will notify you if you have an irregular rhythm.

In addition, this smartwatch includes crash and fall detection, which means it will sense when you’ve fallen or crashed into a wreck, and with the push of a button, you’ll call emergency services when you need them. The 8 Series is also fully compatible with all Apple devices, so you can instantly unlock your MacBook laptop and use Apple Pay when you’re in a pinch without a wallet.

This model dominates Amazon’s selection of Apple smartwatches, which is no easy feat. Customers agree it’s second to none: More than 3,000 customers have rated the Apple Watch Series 8 five stars so far. Reviewers appreciate the model’s longer battery life and “always-on” display, which displays the time without the user having to touch the screen.

Many customers wear their Apple Watches all day every day for errands and events (while taking them off at night to charge), but others also appreciate that the smartwatch lets them run or hike without the hassle of stuffing their phone in their pockets or purse. The screen is shatterproof and waterproof, so you can exercise and even swim with it on your wrist.

Apple Watch Series 9 smartwatch with midnight aluminum case

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $441 $390

Several Apple Watch Series 9 styles are also discounted to under $400 for Prime Big Deal Days. This model has everything customers love about the 8 Series, but with a bunch of extra benefits. Most importantly, the smartwatch is Apple’s first product with a carbon-free case and strap combination, so you can better feel its impact on the environment. Choose from nine colors such as black, beige, red and pink.

The new and improved chip inside this Apple Watch, the S9 SiP, enables a display that is twice as bright as the old models and offers much faster technology. All your favorite apps have now been updated to fit the screen better, so you can see more information at a glance.

But perhaps most impressive of all, this new smartwatch has an innovative feature that lets you answer calls, pause or play music, and more — all with the tap of your fingers. First, disable AssistiveTouch in the Settings app. You can then simply tap your thumb and index finger and the watch will detect the movement, treating it as a “double tap” that can snooze the alarm, stop the timer, and more.

When you buy this smartwatch, you also get three free months of the Apple Fitness+ app (which normally costs $10 a month), so you can access a large collection of exercises including pilates, yoga, strength, core, cycling, treadmill, kickboxing, and more. This allows you to exercise anywhere while your watch tracks it, of course.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 smart watch with a robust titanium case

Buy on Amazon $811 $774

The Apple Watch Ultra 2, the more expensive high-tech model, is also at its lowest price in 30 days. It’s also available in carbon-neutral versions: just choose the Alpine loop or the Trail loop for an eco-friendly choice. Similar to the Series 9, this smartwatch is compatible with the double tap feature.

What makes this Apple Watch special is its durability, making it an ideal choice for customers who want to wear it during outdoor adventures. The titanium case, light feel and waterproof material make it the best choice for climbing, cycling, backpacking and more intense excursions. Advanced metrics are available in the training app, including precise GPS for calculating distance, pace and route maps.

To further elevate its desirability, this smartwatch has a battery life of 36 hours with normal use and up to 72 hours of battery life when in low power mode, so you can attack these activities for days (literally.)

There’s a reason so many people you know probably own Apple Watches: a comfortable, useful timepiece that helps you get through everyday life with ease — beige your phone strapped to your hip. However, with so many amazing features, these top-rated smartwatches don’t come cheap, which is why it’s crucial to grab Amazon deals like these.
