Apple Watch series 9 Significantly Cheaper Than New Series 11
The Apple Watch Series 9 is currently available on Amazon for $609, a discount of over $140 compared too the newly released Series 11, wich retails for $749. This price difference presents a compelling argument for consumers to consider the older model, despite the upgrades offered in the latest iteration.
While the Series 11 introduces improvements like a Ceramic Shield display for enhanced scratch resistance and 5G cellular connectivity, the Series 9 remains a highly capable smartwatch and offers substantial savings. For many users, the benefits of the Series 11 may not justify the additional cost, especially those who don’t rely heavily on cellular functionality or are concerned about minor scratch resistance improvements. The Series 9 also brings back the popular space Gray finish, absent as the Series 6.
Apple claims the Ceramic Shield display offers double the scratch resistance of previous models. The series 11 also features a slightly larger battery capacity, though the real-world impact on battery life is not substantial. 5G connectivity is a key upgrade for cellular users, perhaps offering improved coverage as carriers phase out older LTE networks.
