So far, the Apple Watch is delivering on that front, with markdowns up to $150 off on the Series 9 and $110 on the Ultra 2. Considering we're expecting to see at least a Series 10 announcement at this event, as well as a possible Ultra 3 upgrade, this discounts are expected and very much welcome.

Best Apple Watch Series 9 deal

$399.00 Save $100.00

Why we like it

Check out our full review on the Apple Watch Series 9.

It's not the first time we've seen the Series 9 hit this price, but with the Series 10 on the horizon, it may be one of the last. This $100 markdown puts this watch $20 away from its lowest price ever, and offers a solid all-around experience of fitness features, great battery life, and a wonderfully bright and dim display to take you from day to night. If getting the latest and greatest isn't so much your speed, this is a good deal to move on. If you're into having cellular capabilities on your smartwatch, we recommend going for either of the below deals on the cellular capable models, which Walmart has for $150 off.

Best Apple Watch SE deal

Why we like it

There was once a time where seeing an Apple Watch SE under $200 was rare, but that time has long passed. So much so, in fact, that this $189 sale price has basically been this watch's list price for about the past couple months. Still, for anyone who's looking for just the basics — we're talking no Double Tap, no always-on display, a smaller watch face, and fitness features that extend to basically a heart rate monitor and ECG app — this watch remains an excellent value.

Best Apple Watch Ultra deal

$799.00 Save $110.00

Why we like it

For many people, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 actually offers much, much more than needed, meaning that even this $110 markdown doesn't make it a good enough reason to grab it. However, if you would feel comfortable calling yourself an intense outdoorsy type — like someone who might need up to 100 meters of water resistance, a corrosion-resistant titanium watch case, 36 hours of battery life, and 3,000 nits of brightness on a display for all the time in the sun you'll be spending — then springing for this watch might very well be worth it for you. However, Apple is also rumored to be announcing an Ultra Watch 3 in the near future.
