Fresh batch of Apple Watch Series 8 cellular models see first discounts from $490 (Save $39)
After seeing the more affordable Apple Watch SE 2 go on sale to close out last week, Amazon is back on this Monday to offer some of the first Apple Watch Series 8 discounts. Marking down cellular models this time around, pricing starts at *$489.99 shipped* for the 45mm style. Down from $529, this is now matching what you’d pay for the smaller 41mm model with $39 in savings delivering not only a new all-time low, but also the first discount period. As for today’s sale, you’re looking at $39 in savings on the highlighted model, with other sizable discounts applying to other models.
Apple Watch Series 8 arrives as the brand’s next-generation wearable that steps up to deliver Apple’s most comprehensive fitness tracking experience yet. Well, aside from the new Ultra model, that is. Sporting an always-on display, you’ll find a new S8 chip powering the experience which drives the improved gyroscope and accelerometer to enable crash detection. The onboard temperature sensor pairs with overnight sleep tracking, as well as the onboard heart rate sensor, ECG capabilities, and blood oxygen monitoring. And of course, all of these arrive with cellular connectivity. Go learn more over at 9to5Mac.
