Apple Watch Series 9: Worth Considering at This Price?
The Apple Watch Series 9 was released six months ago and is considered an excellent companion for iPhone users. In fact, for many first-time iPhone users, the Apple Watch is already on their list of must-have accessories.
More importantly, the Apple Watch Series 9 has rarely seen such a heavy-duty discount until now. Given that the base 41mm watch can be purchased for under Rs 35,000, this makes this an enticing deal to consider. This price point brings it closer to the Apple Watch SE series, which is typically the more ‘affordable’ one in the company’s lineup.
The Apple Watch Series 9 offers all the latest and greatest features that you will find on a smartwatch. These include ECG, temperature sensor, fall and crash detection, and an always-on display with 2000nits brightness.
What About The Apple Watch SE?
Flipkart is selling the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) 40mm at Rs 29,499, which is just Rs 3,000 less than the discounted price of the Apple Watch Series 9 41mm variant. So, the price difference is not so as much.
But if your budget is tight, and you cannot spend beyond Rs 30,000, then the SE will have to be your pick. But keep in mind there are some negatives.
Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) on the left and Apple Watch Series 9 on the right
The Watch SE features the older S8 chip compared to the latest S9 chip on the Watch Series 9. Also, the Watch SE (2nd Gen) doesn’t offer an always-on display, a feature considered essential for smartwatches. Moreover, the Watch SE’s display maxes out at 1000 units of brightness.
The Watch SE (2nd Gen) doesn’t offer blood oxygen monitoring and ECG features. So yes, the Apple Watch Series 9 is a little costlier at the moment, but it offers more value for money compared to the Watch SE.
