The Apple Watch Series 9 is our pick for the best smartwatch you can buy in 2024. With its advanced health capabilities, such as ECG and skin temperature monitoring, it offers a great list of features for the price. As noted in our Series 9 review, we found that for most people, this Apple Watch ticks all the boxes, and its understated design is likely to appeal to a wide audience.

This version of the Apple Watch Series 9 features a sportier band, ideal for more active lifestyles thanks to its lightweight and breathable nylon. Currently, the watch is 30% off and is available in midnight, pink and starlight.

Our pick for the best MacBook overall, the MacBook Air (M2) is a powerful laptop, albeit incredibly light and compact. While this MacBook doesn’t have the power of the M3 Pro models, its M2 processor is still very capable and can handle everyday tasks, including image and video editing.

Are Apple products available on Prime Day?

Short answer: Yes. While the tech giant rarely offers discounts on its products, Amazon Prime Day is typically a great opportunity to score big savings on everything Apple, from AirPods to Apple Watches. While Prime Day is technically over, a large majority of the discounts are still in effect, so be sure to check out the extended deals on iPads, MacBooks, and AirPods.

What is the best but cheapest Apple Watch?

If price is your top priority when buying an Apple Watch, the Apple Watch SE is the most affordable of all Apple’s smartwatches, and it’s currently up to 32% off for Amazon Prime Day. If you’re looking for premium health features, the Apple Watch Series 9 is a better choice, and it’s currently at an all-time low price. In testing, it’s its combination of features and value that impressed us the most.

If you’re having trouble deciding which model is best for you, we break down all the differences between the Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch SE, and Apple Watch Ultra in our guide on how to choose the best Apple Watch.

Why is the Apple Watch SE so cheap?

While the Apple Watch SE is the brand’s most affordable smartwatch, it makes a few concessions to hit that price point. At 40mm or 44mm, the Apple Watch SE’s display is a bit smaller than its more expensive siblings. It also lacks some of the more advanced health monitoring found on the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2.
