Prime Big Deal Days (aka Prime Day part two) is nearly back again, officially kicking off tomorrow, Oct. 8. As in years past, Amazon came through with early price drops on major categories, including Apple Watches, weeks ahead of the big day.

With the sale just hours away, we're seeing price cuts on the Series 9, Ultra 2, and even the brand-new Series 10. Last week, we did see a nice $30 markdown on the 42mm Series 10, but we're expecting that we might have to wait until Prime Day officially starts to see a price drop that big again. In the meantime, the $100 price cut on the Series 9 watches is welcome, and we'll likely see them get phased out after this fall shopping season, making it a good time to pick one up.

We'll be updating this page throughout the shopping event, so be sure to check back if you're interested in grabbing the best Apple Watch deals of October's Prime Day. And in the meantime, check out our full list of early Prime Day deals (and even more Apple deals).

Why we like it

Check out our full review of the Apple Watch Series 9.

At just one year old, the Series 9 is hardly outdated. It comes with the same 18 hours of battery life as the Series 10 and many of the same fitness features. While you'll get a slightly larger display with the newer Apple Watch and a sleep apnea sensor, you'll save $100 on the Series 9 because it's the "old" Apple Watch. Both watches have the same 2,000-nit max brightness, which Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder said was one of the best reasons to grab the watch. Overall, if you've never bought into the Apple Watch ecosystem and want to save some cash, this Series 9 deal is a decent bang for your buck.
