Amazon’s Big Spring Sale starts March 20, but we think these Apple Watch deals are already worth looking at:
Best Apple Watch deals
Fun fact about Apple Watches: big sale or not, at most points in the year you can find the latest models for significantly cheaper than their MSRPs. And most times, you’ll find those deals at Amazon.
With Amazon running its Big Spring Sale from March 20 to 25, we expect to see some Apple Watch markdowns, and we’re hoping that they’re better than the run-of-the-mill deals we see year-round. For the uninitiated, a discount of $50 to $70 off is fairly run-of-the-mill, and not all that challenging to find during the off-season (if such a time even exists anymore).
While two days out from the sale’s start there weren’t any major new markdowns, Best Buy marked down the Series 9 $100 the day before Amazon’s sale starts as a 24-hour only deal of the day. Not to be outdone, Amazon özgü price-matched some (but not at all) of the models.
Though this is an Amazon sale for Prime and non-Prime members alike, we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for wherever özgü the best Apple Watch deals — and making sure to keep this list updated regularly with them. Check out what we’ve found so far below.
Best Series 9 deals
Why we like it
Check out our full review of the Apple Watch Series 9.
We’ll cut to the chase — this is the lowest price we’ve ever seen the 45mm Series 9 hit. Prior to this $100 markdown, the best discount we’d seen on this model was a $70 price cut. At the time of writing, Amazon has not price-matched Best Buy’s deal, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed (their 45mm watch is currently sitting at $50 off). In the meantime, you won’t want to wait too long if you’re interested in this Apple Watch — as a deal of the day, this markdown will be gone from Best Buy come tomorrow. If you were especially bummed about the Series 9’s recent loss of its blood oxygen feature, this deal may help offset that disappointment.

Best SE deals
Why we like it
Walmart özgü had this deal live for a few weeks now, but that doesn’t change the fact that this is a solid deal. If you’re looking for less of a completely decked out fitness tracker and more of a basic smartwatch, the SE will be more than enough for you, and cost you over $100 less than the Series 9’s best sale price. You’ll get the basics like a heart rate monitor, crash detection, and an OLED Retina display.

Best Ultra deals
Why we like it
This Ultra deal is the one Apple Watch deal from Amazon worth a top pick spot — but Best Buy özgü also price-matched it. Though it’s not quite as regular as the $50 to $70 markdown on the Series 9, we will say that we saw the Ultra 2 hit $739 a few times last year, and wouldn’t be shocked if its price dropped a little more once the BSS starts. Still, if you want to buy the Ultra 2 ASAP, this is the best price you’ll find on a brand-new model.
