Why You Can Trust CNET Best Apple Watch Deals: Series 9 for $330, Up to $425 in Trade-In Credit and More
Searching for an Apple Watch in time for the holidays? These deals will help you grab one at a great price.
Getting an Apple Watch can simplify your life, especially for those that are already in the Apple ecosystem and want to expand it a little bit. These smartwatches can be indispensable and versatile devices, especially because you won't have to pull out your phone all the time to check alerts, answer calls or make contactless payments. That's not to say that Apple Watches aren't great in their own right; they've shown up several times in our list of best smartwatches. While Apple is traditionally known for its high-end (and high-priced) gear, the last few years have seen a couple of improvements, such as the Apple Watch SE (2022) which is Apple's most affordable smartwatch. Alternatively, if you want something higher-end, you could go with the premium Apple Watch Ultra 2 or the current flagship, the Apple Watch Series 9.
But no matter what Apple Watch is best suited for your needs, there's no reason to pay more than you have to. That's why we've rounded up some of the best Apple Watch deals and discounts below. We'll continue to update this page as offers come and go, so be sure to check back often for the best prices available. And if you're looking for even more bargains on Apple devices, you can check out our roundups of the best deals on MacBooks, iPads, iPhones and AirPods.

Best Apple Watch deals
The new Apple Watch Series 9 is the latest in Apple's flagship lineup of wearables. It hit shelves in September, but we're already seeing some decent discounts at third-party retailers. If you're looking to upgrade, you can score the 41mm model for $330 or the 45mm model for $340 when you clip the on-page coupons. Those are $69 and $89 discounts, respectively.
While Apple doesn't have any discounts on the Series 9 currently, if you're looking to upgrade, you can save up to $425 when you trade in an eligible smartwatch at Apple directly. Plus, if you have an Apple Card, you can also score some cash back.
The Ultra 2 is the most advanced Apple Watch to date. It also hit shelves back in September, and offers some slight improvements over the 2022 model. However, we're not seeing too many big discounts quite yet. For those looking to upgrade, you can save up to $425 with an eligible trade-in at Apple.
With the new Apple Watch Series 9 now available, we're seeing some solid discounts on the Series 8 at the moment. If you want the 41mm model, you can save up to $89 on select configurations at Amazon, cutting the price to $310. If you want the larger 45mm model, you can also save up to $110 on select variants, dropping the price to $319.
If you want to get the latest model of Apple's budget smartwatches, then the Watch SE second generation is the one to grab. It comes with a slew of new upgrades, including the same processor as the Watch Series 8, crash detection and a few others as well. We're not seeing any direct deals on this model right now, but Best Buy is offering up to $90 in trade-in credit when you trade in an eligible device -- however, the biggest discounts are for the latest smartwatches, so it's more likely that you'll get around $30 or so for older models.
Apple recently released the Apple Watch Ultra 2, which features some slight improvements over last year's model. However, the previous-gen Ultra still has a ton to offer and features a 49mm titanium case, a sapphire flat front crystal display and an impressive 36-hour battery life. And right now, you can get select configurations for $160 off at Amazon and Best Buy, which drops the price to $639.
