Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and the seasonally appropriate pink Apple Watch knows it.

We've seen this watch hovering around $309 for nearly the past week, but as of Feb. 5, it's finally dipped (just) below $300. If you're okay with the pink colorway, you can grab the 41mm Apple Watch Series 9 with GPS for just $299 at Amazon and Walmart. This isn't this watch's lowest price ever — that honor belongs to the $289 deal it hit in December — but it's still rare for the watch to get this 25% markdown.

The Apple Watch Series 9 had a rocky start to the year. As the result of a patent dispute with a medical tech company, Apple removed the blood oxygen sensor from its watches. This wasn't a new sensor — along with the heart rate monitor it made up some of the core health features of previous watch generations — but it is a knock to this watch's overall fitness capabilities.

Still, for just $299, you will get a host of features that could make this watch well worth its discounted price. There's Double Tap, which was introduced for the Series 9 and allows you to navigate your watch by simply tapping your thumb and forefinger together, instead of actually touching the watch. There's the 2,000-nit display that makes this watch much more readable in the sunlight (which was one of Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder's favorite features of the smartwatch).
