The first Apple Watch 12 preorders are now underway with units expected to hit stores on September 18. If you're looking for deals, I've also spotted one of the first Apple Watch deals you can get on the new Series 12.
For a limited time, buy an Apple Watch 12 and get one free at T-Mobile. The offer applies to any Apple Watch from the Series 10 to the Apple Watch Ultra 4. Just buy one at full price and you'll receive a $300 credit on your second watch that'll be added to your account over the span of 36 months.
The Apple Watch 12 received a handful of noteworthy upgrades at the recent Apple keynote. In addition to giving you a heart rate reading every five seconds — 60 times more frequent than the Apple Watch 11 — the new watch supports HRV readings, a new readiness score that gives you deeper insights into when to push/when to recover, and new longevity features in the updated Health app. In our Apple Watch Series 12 hands-on we said the new health updates are big enough to make this the best smartwatch on the market.
Meanwhile, the Apple Watch Ultra 4 sports many of the same new features and adds a new battery that's rated to last up to 50 hours per charge, a noteworthy increase over its predecessor’s 42-hour rating. There’s also a new Max Extended workout tracking mode that increases longevity from around 18 hours with full-time GPS and continuous heart rate tracking to a whopping 45 hours without sacrificing cardiovascular and location insights.
These are the first Apple Watch deals I've seen on Apple's new watches. While they due require that you open a new wearable line, it's the best offer I've seen if you were already planning on buying the cellular models.
