Yes, the Apple Watch Series 9 just came out, but that doesn’t mean you should immediately dismiss the previous generation. After all, Apple didn’t redesign the watch or remove a new health feature this generation.
And that makes a new $100 discount courtesy of Amazon on the Apple Watch Series 8 a good deal. If you’re not desperate for Double Tap or the new pink colorthe Series 8 is more than capable and offers a fairly comparable experience.
You’ll want to act fast, however, as some colors are sold out and this deal will only last while supplies last.
Apple Watch Series 8 41mm with GPS in Midnight Aluminum, $299 (was $399) at Amazon
Our pick for the best discount is the 41mm Series 8 with GPS connectivity in a beautiful and elegant Midnight shade. Like any other Apple Watch Series 8 (and Series 9), this one features an always-on Retina display that offers a clear, vibrant view of the watch face and apps. While it’s not as bright as the Series 9, you can still easily see the Series 8’s screen in direct sunlight.
Apple’s S8 chip powers it and shows no signs of slowing down after almost a year. Apps open quickly and any input is processed quickly – the whole experience is very responsive. It’s also very powerful for new features in watchOS 10, like the smart stack of widgets on any watch face.
The Series 8 also offers all the health and activity features of the Series 9, Ultra 1, and Ultra 2. You can track daily workouts, steps, active minutes, and calories. The Series 8 can also monitor heart rate or blood oxygen levels and perform an electrocardiogram. Around the back is Apple’s latest sensor stack, with a skin temperature sensor under the hood.
Like the Apple Watch Series 9, you can expect the same all-day battery life from the Series 8, which supports fast charging. Apple even includes a USB-C charging pad for Apple Watch in the frame; you just need to pair it with a 20 watt or more wall outlet.
At $100 off, this is the biggest discount on an Apple Watch Series 8 since Amazon Prime Day 2023 (which saw it slightly cheaper), and it’s an incredible deal into a feature-packed smartwatch that’s ready to go for years to come.
