I’ve loved using my Apple Watch Series 5 since I bought it way back in 2019. Its bigger size, always-on-display, faster chip, and better battery were great upgrades from the Series 0 I owned before. I’m still happy with it, but at this point, I’d love to have the features of a blood oxygen sensor, double-tap in watchOS 10, and more. After seeing how low in price the Series 9 models are now thanks to Amazon’s Black Friday deals, I’m more tempted than ever.
For a Series 9 in a Silver Aluminum Case, I could buy one for $449 instead of $499, and use my existing Watch Bands as before. Or, if I wanted to go one step further for a Graphite Stainless Steel model, I could upgrade to that for $664, down from $699. So the dilemma isn’t whether I should upgrade — it’s deciding on which model I should go with.
