Here’s where you can buy the brand-new Apple Watch Series 5 right now

The Apple Watch Series 5 is now available online and in-store

While the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro may have stolen the show, Apple also released a new Apple Watch at its annual September event — the Apple Watch Series 5. The new device may not be a radical redesign like the Apple Watch Series 4 before it, but it still has a ton to offer and is the Apple Watch to buy if you’re in the market for a new smartwatch.

Of course, you might be wondering where you can get the Apple Watch Series 5 — which is exactly why we’ve written this guide. Here’s everything you need to know about pricing and availability of the Apple Watch Series 5.

Unlocked

The Apple Watch Series 5 is available from Apple, and now that pre-orders are over you can get it for yourself online and in-store. The Apple Watch Series 5 GPS model starts at $400, while the Apple Watch Series 5 cellular comes at $500. That said, if you want to get the Apple Watch  Series 5 in titanium or ceramic, you’ll pay a little more — the titanium model starts at $800, while the ceramic model starts at $1,300. Prices vary depending on whether or not you want cellular connectivity, which allows you to use your device essentially like a smartphone.

You can get the Apple Watch for yourself straight from the Apple website.

Carriers

As with previous iterations of the Apple Watch, can also get the Apple Watch Series 5 from your carrier. Carrier pricing for the device is available below.

AT&T

AT&T is carrying the Apple Watch Series 5, and now that pre-orders are over, the device is fully available. On AT&T, the Apple Watch Series 5 starts at $500, or $16.67 per month for 30 months, for the entry-level 40mm cellular model, or $17.67 per month for the 44mm model.

Sprint

Sprint is carrying the Apple Watch Series 5, and pre-orders for the device on the carrier are now over. On Sprint, the Apple Watch Series 5 starts at $500 or $20.84 per month for 24 months, though Sprint is currently running a promotion that allows customers to get 50% off those monthly payments — so you could get the device for as little as $10.42 per month.

T-Mobile

T-Mobile is offering the Apple Watch Series 5, and pre-orders are now over, so full sales have begun. Pricing for the Apple Watch Series 5 on T-Mobile starts at $500, or $20.84 per month for 24 months for the 40mm model, or $530 or $22.09 per month for 24 months for the 44mm model.

Verizon

Verizon is carrying the Apple Watch and prices start at $500, or $20.83 per month for 24 months for the 40mm model, or $530 or $22.08 per month for 24 months for the 44mm model. Not only that but for a limited time, if you get a new Apple Watch through Verizon, you can get a second one for half price.

U.S. Cellular

U.S. Cellular announced that it is carrying the Apple Watch Series 5. The company has yet to announce pricing, and it doesn’t seem as though pricing is available from the website just yet.

Xfinity Mobile

Xfinity Mobile is carrying the Apple Watch Series 5 alongside the new iPhone models. The carrier didn’t offer pre-orders, but now that pre-orders are over, the device is available from the Xfinity Mobile website.

We’ll update this article as we hear more about pricing and availability of the Apple Watch Series 5.

The uniquely named "Wonderlust" event will almost certainly introduce the world to the iPhone 15 series and next-generation Apple Watches — including the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2.

Like last year's event, the iPhone 15 event will be streamed across various platforms, including Apple's website, on iPhone/iPad and Apple TV, X (formerly known as Twitter), and YouTube. Here's a look at how to stream the highly anticipated event as it happens later today.

If you're in the market for a new smartphone, it's almost certainly best to wait — especially if you're looking for a new iPhone. The Apple iPhone 15 series should be announced in just a few weeks, with a release date soon after, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. If correct, it would follow a long-running pattern of Apple announcing, then releasing, new handsets soon after Labor Day in the U.S.

According to Gurman, Apple will hold an iPhone 15 event on Tuesday, September 12, or Wednesday, September 13, with a release date around Friday, September 22. Last year, Apple announced the iPhone 14 lineup on September 7, with the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max available in stores beginning September 16. The iPhone 14 Plus, a model that was new to the iPhone lineup, didn't launch until October 7.

If you own an Apple product — be in the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or a Mac — you should update it immediately. Why? Apple has begun rolling out updates to all of its devices with fixes for a serious security vulnerability.

The security vulnerability is known as CVE-2023-32434, and it has to do with the kernel privileges of Apple devices. Per Apple's website, the vulnerability allows third-party apps to "execute arbitrary code." In other words, if a bad actor knows how to exploit this vulnerability, they could potentially gain access to your Apple device and wreck havoc.
