If you’ve been considering an Apple Watch but don’t want to drop Ultra-level cash, the Apple Watch Series 9 (GPS + Cellular, 41mm) is currently down to $299.99 on Woot, originally priced at $529. That’s for a brand new unit (not refurbished), and it comes with a one year Apple limited warranty . It’s available in two colors: a silver case with a storm blue band and a pink case with a light pink band. Both fit small to medium wrist sizes and ship free for Prime members (others pay $6 for shipping). The deal is live for three days or until it sells out—whichever comes first.
The Series 9 is a bit smaller than the newer Series 10 and lacks some of the extra features designed for outdoor-focused users found in the Ultra 2 . But unless you’re into backcountry hikes or obsessed with having the brightest screen possible, the Series 9 gets you nearly everything else for much less. You get the double-tap gesture for hands-free control, a bright always-on display, fast performance, and Siri built into the watch. It also supports sleep tracking, mental health tools, vision tracking, and the usual fitness and cycling features. PCMag named it the best smartwatch of 2023 and gave it an Editor’s Choice award when it launched, noting how much it delivers for its price range.
Because this is the GPS + Cellular version , you can stream music, take calls, or use maps without needing to bring your iPhone along. That’s especially useful if you’re running, biking, or just want to stay connected without carrying your phone. Battery life is rated at 18 hours, or up to 36 hours in low power mode, which is more than enough for most users’ daily wear. For those who don’t need the newest version but still want full access to Apple’s ecosystem and features, the Series 9 offers a practical and feature-rich option at a much lower cost than the latest models.
