Amazon's two-day sales event is over for another year. This Prime Day saw the price of Apple Watches crash down to their lowest ever price. The good news is many of the discounts are still live — but the sales could end at any moment, so don't wait. 

So, this may be your last chance to pick up the Apple Watch 9 (GPS/41mm) for just $279 at Amazon, saving you 30% on the regular price. This brings Apple's most recent (and probably greatest) watch down to its lowest ever price. 

Or, if you're after a durable smartwatch with a longer battery life, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is down to $699 at Amazon, a $100 discount on this rugged, high-performance version of Apple's wearable designed for the outdoors.

FAQs

Is Prime Day over?

Amazon Prime Day 2024 took place across July 16 and 17, 2024, and officially ended at midnight on the final day. However, in previous years, some deals have lasted for the entire week, while others disappear after a few hours. 

The retailer announced the two-day shopping event in late-June, marking the 10th edition of Amazon's subscriber-only sale. The annual event usually spans two days early in the week, with new deals going live throughout. 

Are Apple Watches on sale for Prime Day?

There were plenty of discounts on Apple Watches this Prime Day, and we expect these deals to stick around for a bit longer, even if the price varies. And these discounts are on the latest models (Watch Series 9, Ultra 2). 

Older models, including the Watch 8 and Watch SE, are on sale too, making Prime Day an ideal time to invest if you want a premium smartwatch without breaking the bank, so long as you're happy to miss out on any features exclusive to the Watch 9 and Ultra 2. 

Are things really cheaper on Prime Day?

Amazon's product pricing isn't always clear, so it can be difficult to work out whether the Apple Watch is really cheaper on Prime Day. A good rule of thumb is to check the price against Apple's listings. 

Apple doesn't often discount the watch on its own store, so you can check Amazon's prices against the MSRP; Apple Watch SE (from $249), Apple Watch Series 9 (from $399) and Apple Watch Ultra 2 (from $799). 

The price will vary depending on the configuration you choose (Wi-Fi vs cellular, strap size, color, strap type), but this is a good indicator. Often, the prices on Amazon are lower than the MSRP, but that doesn't always mean its a good deal. 

Amazon often sells the Apple Watch below the MSRP anyway, so what looks like a deal may be the regular price. You can use tools like CamelCamelCamel to check historic prices and see if its really on sale. 

However, we also do this before we list any deals or discounts on our roundups to make it easier for you to filter the Prime Day sales and find an Apple Watch on sale that's truly worth your money.
