Amazon is now offering the best price yet on one of the more premium Apple Watch Series 8 styles out there. The 45mm GPS + Cellular model comes with a stainless steel case alongside a Milanese Loop band at $499 shipped. This would have originally run you $799, the price it has sold for just about all year. Now, you can save $300 while locking in a new all-time low. By comparison, you’d pay $729 for the newer Series 9 version of this wearable.
All eyes right now might be focused on the new Series 9 since it began shipping last fall, but Apple Watch Series 8 still delivers plenty of features that make it a compelling upgrade over older models. Let alone as good of a place to start with closing your rings as ever before. Those sentiments are made better by the 50% discount landing today, especially considering just how little is new this time around. Our besties over at 9to5Mac have the full scoop on what’s new with the 2023 model, but the highlights are largely the 2,000-nit screen, pinch gestures, and the S9 chip.
The whole device comes centered around an always-on display and backed by the S8 chip that enables the improved gyroscope and accelerometer tech that combines to offer crash detection. On top of being able to monitor overnight sleep, there’s an onboard temperature sensor to go alongside ECG capabilities, blood oxygen monitoring, and stats on all of your other daily exercise.
If none of the bands included with today’s Apple Watch discounts are quite the style you’re looking for, you can also just shop all of our favorite band recommendations. Breaking down the best options out there for any style or budget, there’s an assortment of curated leather bands, metal link straps, fitness-ready solutions, and other accessories for Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2.
