Amazon’s competitive pricing of Apple devices is beginning to extend to brand-new devices. Even though the Apple Watch Series 5 isn’t due out until September 20, Amazon has cut prices up to $50 off retail on select models. The sale is only on five specific models.
The best savings is on the Space Black Stainless Steel Case with Black Milanese Loop 44mm GPS+Cellular model, marked down to $749 from $799. These aren’t the only sales on brand-new Apple devices, either. Amazon is discounting the new iPad by up to $30, and the latest iPad Air is also on sale as well.

If those prices are still out of reach, don’t worry, as even some of the cheapest Apple Watch Series 5’s are on sale, with savings from $14 to as much as $50. Here are the ones we found:
Series 5 GPS
Series 5 GPS+Cellular
We also spotted coupons on other models which were not on sale, and that could be applied in order to save up to an additional $9 or so. We were not eligible for the coupon for some reason, but you may be. Just look for a checkbox below the price and be sure to have that checked before you add it to your cart.
So is the Series 5 a good value? We think so, and there are a few features to take note of. While the design of the watch is all but the same, the display is now ‘always on.’ While you might think that would drain the battery (and Apple Watches do lag somewhat behind their counterparts here), a lower-refresh rate in this mode allows the Series 5 to maintain the same 18-hour battery life of the previous generation, though. Apple did also add a few brand new titanium and ceramic finish options, but Amazon’s not selling those right now, unfortunately. If you want those models, you’ll have to buy direct from Apple at full price.
The Apple Watch now has a compass and international emergency calling on all GPS+Cellular models, so you’ll have no problem getting through to first responders almost anywhere in the world. We’re especially excited about the compass functionality, making this watch even more useful than before for outdoor fitness activities.
In every case, we recommend you take advantage of these deals right now, as it’s extremely rare to see decent sales on new Apple products without some catch.

We review a lot of health wearables. This one tracks something most ignore.
We've discussed the Hume Band’s design ethos before; specifically, how its screen-free, fabric-wrapped profile respects your attention span. But for those who treat their health as a long-term asset, the form factor is secondary to the data.
Rokid’s AI glasses offer a more affordable route to wearables than Meta Ray-Ban
The AI Glasses Style is completely screenless and weighs just 38.5 grams, making it light enough to wear all day without discomfort. Instead of visual overlays, it relies on voice, audio, and a built-in 12MP Sony camera capable of shooting 4K video in clips up to 10 minutes.
Forget the watch, Apple’s AI Pin might be its next wearable move
According to the details shared so far, the wearable is still in the very early stages of development. In fact, Apple could launch it or even cancel it, depending on how engineering and market conditions evolve. That said, people familiar with the project say the company is targeting a 2027 release window, a move that would position Apple directly against other AI wearable efforts from competitors like OpenAI and others experimenting with similar form factors.
