It might only feature modest improvements over the previous model but the Apple Watch Series 9 is one of the best smartwatches you can buy right now, especially if you're an iPhone owner. Unfortunately, Apple Watches are also among the most expensive wearables around which is why it's well worth keeping your eyes peeled for Fourth of July deals this week. Amazon is already taking $100 off several configurations and those savings apply to multiple different configurations. However, as is often the case with Apple Watch discounts, the prices can vary depending on the color and band you're shopping for so make sure to check the price before checking out..
Interestingly, Best Buy is also offering a number of Apple Watch deals with the best being the cellular 45mm model with a midnight aluminum case. That watch would normally sell for $529 but Best Buy will sell you one today for just $419 -- a $110 discount.
