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.

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.

For a lot of people, the iPad is the device they choose to work with, which may include taking video calls. Though the front-facing camera on iPads has gotten better over time, many still prefer external webcams because they’re often much better than the built-in webcam on your tablet or even laptop. And now, if you use Microsoft Teams on iPad, you’re finally able to use external cameras, as Microsoft has announced via a blog post.

When we say "finally," it’s because Apple has included support for external USB-C cameras on the iPad since iPadOS 17. So technically, Microsoft is a little late to the party with this feature. But if you have to use Microsoft Teams for work and you tend to use the iPad most of the time, then this is certainly welcome news.
