Is this early October Prime Day deal worth shopping?
While we can provide some insight, only you can answer this question. Amazon reviewers have long described the Apple Watch as a "must-have" for athletes and health-conscious consumers. The Series 9, in particular, boasts an incredibly powerful chip that delivers more accurate and powerful features and metrics. However, some shoppers aren't a fan of the band, something to keep in mind when placing your order.
