Which Apple Watch should you buy this Black Friday?
Apple announced the Apple Watch Series 9 in September 2023 with updated features and the new S9 SiP. The new dual-core CPU has 5.6 billion transistors, which comes in at 60 percent more than the S8 chip. The display is also brighter at up to 2,000 nits.

For customers who don't need the latest and greatest technology, the Apple Watch SE 2 is in its second generation and features Apple's S8 SiP processor, Crash Detection, and a lower starting price. It is built with a budget in mind, with limited health tracking and a basic feature set. It is the new budget Apple Watch model that replaced the Apple Watch Series 3. Retail Apple Watch SE 2 prices start at $249, although discounts are often available.
