The Apple Watch often sees its fair share of limited-time discounts throughout the year, but Amazon’s Prime Day offers a chance for someone to shop deals across most available models all at once.

For this Prime Day, we’re seeing some worthwhile sales across the range of the 2022 Apple Watch SE, Apple Watch Series 9, and even the pricey Apple Watch Ultra 2. Most of these require an Amazon Prime subscription, but Amazon’s excellent $100 discount on the Ultra 2 does not.

While most Apple Watches are pretty similar at their core (iOS notifications on your wrist, fitness tracking, health metrics, etc.), it’s the extra features added or omitted from some models that often determines which is right for you — as well as your budget, of course. Be sure to check out our buying guide for some additional advice from our resident wearables reviewer, Vee Song, and let us highlight what deals you can nab for the right Apple Watch for you this Prime Day.

The latest SE borrows a few features from the Series 8, including the same chipset and Crash Detection feature, but it’s an otherwise subtle upgrade from the last-gen SE. Read our review.

The LTE-equipped Apple Watch SE features the same specs and fit as its GPS counterpart, only with cellular connectivity.

The Apple Watch Series 9 features a brand-new S9 processor that enables offline Siri use, brighter displays, and the double tap gesture. It also has the second-gen ultra wideband chip for Precision Finding if you have an iPhone 15. Read our review.

The rugged Apple Watch Ultra 2 comes in one size: 49mm. It offers the brightest display of any wearable in Apple’s lineup, along with better battery life and improved performance. It sports Apple’s new S9 processor too, allowing you to take advantage of Apple’s new double tap feature. Read our review.
