Apple Watch Series 9 and SE are already at their lowest prices for Black Friday — and I'm spoiled for choice as I go to replace my Series 5

Apple Watch Series 9, SE and Pink models.

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.

Find the best Apple Watch deals

Black Friday has already started over on Amazon, seeing it lower the prices on loads of different items — including the line of Apple Watches below. Before Black Friday begins elsewhere, we're already seeing some fantastic discounts on these wearables. The dilemma you face, though, is which model suits you best?

Save on the best Apple Watches

As I look at my Series 5, it feels like we’ve had a good run, literally. At this moment in time, I’m swaying towards the Graphite Stainless Steel model. Yes, it’s a smaller discount compared to the Aluminum model, but I do love that darker metallic shade on the Watch.

Also, my wife will be upgrading from a Series 4 to my Series 5 once I buy this Watch, much like when I upgraded to the iPhone 15 Pro Max in September, and she got my iPhone 13. So at the end of all this, everyone will have had a great deal in this household — even our dog for when I attempt to use Double Tap so I can respond to a message as I walk him.
