Apple Watch Series 9 cellular model on sale

The Apple Watch Series 9 with GPS and cellular connectivity is on sale for $299.99 at Woot. This is a new, 41mm model that normally starts at $399.

The sale includes a full one-year Apple warranty. Amazon Prime members get free standard shipping, while others pay a $6 fee.

The offer is live for four more days or until the watch sells out.

Key features of the cellular model

This model's cellular capability is its main advantage over the cheaper GPS-only version. With an active carrier plan, you can make calls, send messages, and stream music without your iPhone nearby.

This is ideal for runners or anyone who wants to stay connected while leaving their phone behind.

The watch runs on Apple's S9 processor, which improves performance. Its display can reach a peak brightness of 2,000 nits for outdoor visibility.

New gestures and health tracking

A new double-tap gesture lets you answer calls or scroll through widgets by pinching your thumb and index finger. On-device Siri can start workouts or set timers using your voice.

Health and safety features are comprehensive. The watch includes:

• Heart rate monitoring and ECG
• Blood oxygen readings
• Temperature sensing for cycle tracking
• Sleep tracking and GPS
• Fall detection

It is rated IP6X for dust resistance and WR50 for water resistance, making it suitable for swimming.

Battery life and environmental note

Battery life is rated for about 32.5 hours with the always-on display enabled. Heavy use of cellular connectivity will shorten this time.

Apple says this specific aluminum case and sport band configuration is its first carbon-neutral product. The watch also has direct access to the App Store for standalone apps.

At $299.99, this is a significant discount for a new cellular Apple Watch, positioning it as a strong deal among current smartwatches.
