The Apple Watch Series 9 earned our top spot as the best smartwatch for most people, and at a great price right now in different versions at Best Buy and Amazon.

This 2023 model isn’t the newest (the Series 10 holds that spot), but it’s a premium wearable that’s feature-packed and eligible for a slew of enhancements with watchOS 11.

Unfamiliar with what this smartwatch can do? Here are a few reasons the Series 9 is still a worthy purchase:

• Powerful S9 chip: This chip makes the display brighter, Siri more responsive, and allows for nifty features like the Double Tap gesture.
• Loads of wellness features: From closing Activity Rings and logging all kinds of strength and cardio workouts to checking your ECG anytime and monitoring sleep stages, the Apple Watch is a wellness device at heart.
• Safety tools: Fall Detection, Crash Detection, and Emergency SOS have your back to call for help if needed.

Amazon purchasers of this watch give it 4.6 stars out of 5.
