Apple Watch Series 9 is a sophisticated and attractive wristwatch. And in a high-end stainless-steel livery, it looks absolutely stunning. The entry-level Apple Watch's sapphire crystal display is strong and durable, adding to its appeal over the aluminum construction.
But it costs more. Or at least, until this new offering, it did. The latest limited-time price on Amazon is the lowest ever for the stainless steel version, and it actually undercuts the price of the aluminum model. Here are the details.
The standard price of the Apple Watch Series 9 with a 41mm stainless steel case, GPS and cellular connectivity is $699. An aluminum watch of the same size and cellular connectivity will cost $559.
Still, that's less than the new Amazon price. With a $265 discount—which equates to a 38% discount—the stainless steel model is now just $433.30. Thus, it costs less than $250 less than its normal price, but it costs about $125 less than the regular price of the aluminum model.
The price includes a silver-finish stainless steel case with a storm blue sport band; This price applies only to the silver-finish stainless steel with Storm Blue Sport Band. With a 10% or $70 discount, the gold-finish version is now priced at $629 instead of $699.
For example, if you're looking for the same silver stainless steel with a Storm Blue Sport Band in a larger size, the reductions are much smaller, from $749 to $679.
The Apple Watch Series 9 is remarkably impressive. Since the release of the first Apple Watch, its elegant yet simple design has gradually evolved and reached the pinnacle of sophistication.
It has a huge range of health and fitness features, including measuring an ECG and alerting you if your heart rate is suddenly abnormally high or low. Also, the blood oxygen feature, which Apple has controversially removed from Apple Watch models sold, is on this version from Amazon.
