The Apple Watch Series 9 is one of the most confusing watches out there. It was banned due to a sort of IP issue with its blood Oxygen sensing tech. Then, the ban was lifted in late 2023. And, finally, the ban got reinstated (sorta) earlier this year. So, can you get the watch? Surprisingly, not only is the answer “yes” but also “yes, and on sale!” Right now you can get a 41mm version of the somewhat controversial watch that rests at the top of our list of the best smartwatches for just $429. That’s $70 down from the usual $499. Tap the button below to find your watch or keep reading to see all the details about what it can do.

It can even guide you to your iPhone when you’ve misplaced it and don’t have someone around to call it for you.
