Amazon’s After-Christmas Sale Is Starting Off Strong With Massive Deals on Apple Watches — Save Up to 35%

Although the holidays are over, major deals are still up for grabs at Amazon. Take, for instance, these steep markdowns on top-selling Apple Watches; they've become must-haves for travelers thanks to their top-of-the-line fitness tracking, safety features, and health insights that make your life more convenient. And right now, you can save up to 35 percent on three of the brand's top-rated models — and they hardly ever go on sale, we might add. 

During Amazon's end-of-year sale, you'll be able to save big on the Apple Watch Series 9, which is technically Apple's most advanced offering yet. We’re also seeing impressive after-Christmas markdowns on the Apple Watch Series 8 and the Apple Watch SE 2nd Gen versions. A word of advice: You don't want to let these savings pass you by. Not only are Apple Watch sales rare, but they tend to sell out fast. So, without further ado, keep scrolling to shop the best Apple Watch deals from the Amazon after-Christmas sale. (And if you're looking for other smartwatches from Fitbit, Garmin, Samsung, and other brands, we've found deals on those too — up to 44 percent off.)

Apple Watch Series 9 

The Apple Watch Series 9 has a brighter display, more storage, and faster processing than its predecessors. Its buzziest upgrade, however, is the double-tap feature, which allows you to control the watch simply by putting your index finger and thumb together without touching the display. You can use the gesture to pause music, take a photo, snooze an alarm, and more. Apple also enhanced the usability of its popular smartwatch with advanced Siri commands, GPS features, and more detailed health tracking. Plus, with an even more durable build, the Series 9 is sure to be an investment that lasts. 

Apple Watch Series 8

If you’re looking to spend a little less but still want a sleek smartwatch that’s packed with helpful features, consider snagging the Apple Watch Series 8 while it’s 42 percent off (and still in stock). This iteration of the device has more than 18,000 five-star ratings and 1,000-plus glowing reviews from Amazon shoppers. In fact, one wrote, “With its ultra-fast processor, apps open instantly and navigating through menus feels seamless. It has become an essential part of my daily routine, helping me stay organized, motivated, and connected." The reviewer also pointed out that the smartwatch's GPS features are its most notable: "The GPS accuracy is spot-on, making outdoor activities like running and hiking even more enjoyable as I can accurately track my routes.”

Apple Watch SE 2nd Gen

For the most affordable Apple Watch option out there, look to the Apple Watch SE 2nd Gen, which has all of the essential functionalities that have made the line of smartwatches so popular with travelers and everyday users. Monitors allow you to keep track of your sleep, heart rate, and distance traveled, while crash and fall detection sensors automatically call for help when you’re in need. It also connects to your iPhone to send texts, answer calls, follow the GPS, listen to music, and more when you're on the go. 

These discounts won’t last forever, so we recommend jumping on them now before they sell out. And if you aren’t set on going with an Apple product, check out some great smartwatch deals from other tried-and-true brands below.
