Beat release day: Amazon drops a surprise preorder discount on the Apple Watch Series 12

On September 16, Amazon began offering a surprise preorder discount on the new Apple Watch Series 12. The base 42mm GPS model in Dark Bronze Aluminum, which has a list price of $399, is now available for $389.99 when preordered. This discount follows Apple's announcement that the Series 12 would be the ultimate device for a healthy life, featuring a majorly upgraded Health Sensing System.

This system includes background heart rate readings every five seconds, HRV tracking every five minutes, and a redesigned Health app with personalized guidance from Apple Intelligence, Health Age, and a new Longevity tab. The watch also introduces a Readiness score based on sleep, vitals, and activity, along with smart Audio Intelligence features like Live Rewind and Siri Recap.

However, the Oura Ring already has a Readiness score, and the Audio Intelligence tools won't be available on day one, as they will roll out in an English beta later this year. The Aluminum models now feature Ceramic Shield 2, offer up to 24 hours of normal battery life, and have fast charging that provides 12 hours of power in just 15 minutes.

Siri AI and Apple Intelligence also enable deep hands-free capabilities, including Live Rewind for replaying conversations and Workout Buddy for real-time fitness motivation. Purchasing a preorder on Amazon secures the delivery of this most capable health and fitness tracker straight to your door on launch day.
