Apple Watch Series 9 Price
Ranked as Apple’s second-most expensive watch after the Apple Watch Ultra 2, both launched in 2023, the Series 9 and Ultra 2 faced legal issues regarding the blood oxygen level feature’s patent, resulting in a temporary removal from shelves. In response, Apple is eliminating the feature to avoid a sales ban. The utility of the blood oxygen level feature has been debated, with Lifehacker’s senior health editor, Beth Skwarecki, questioning its effectiveness. If you desire this feature, it’s advisable to make your purchase now, as it is unlikely to be removed in future updates.

Notably, the discounted Series 9 models are the GPS-only versions, requiring proximity to your iPhone for calls and messages. The aluminum variant is more affordable than the stainless steel model, and the 41mm screen caters to those who prefer a smaller display compared to the 45mm option. The small/medium size accommodates wrists measuring 130 to 180 mm.
