If an Apple Watch has been on your list forever (or you're looking to upgrade from an older model), today is the day to snag one.

The Apple Watch Series 4 is on sale for one of the lowest prices ever today on Amazon—I'm talking $70 off for both the GPS-only and cellular models.

What's the difference, you say? The cellular models allow you to set up a phone plan with your watch, so you can make and take calls, as well as use data and apps on your watch even when you don't have your phone with you or have access to Wi-fi.

Yes, that means you can run without your bulky phone and still stream music, use maps, track workouts on third-party apps, and send calls and texts when you need to.

Here are some of the best deals you can find on the Apple Watch today:

If you're new to Apple Watch, here's what you can expect from the Series 4. First of all, the display is the biggest yet (you can choose between 40mm or 44mm), which makes it easier to view when you're on the run (literally or figuratively).

Outside of the cool features that basically give you a phone on your wrist, the watch will track all your runs and workouts (from miles logged to cadence tracking to pace alerts). This version also offers both yoga and hiking tracking and comes with a personalized coaching feature that gives you monthly challenges and achievement awards. Plus, its swim-proof.

The Series 4 Apple Watch also has the brand's most advanced heart monitoring feature yet, courtesy of an electrical heart sensor. If your heart rate rises or falls to concerning levels, it will alert you so you can get help. Another bonus for active peeps: The Series 4 comes with an improved accelerometer and gyroscope for fall detection. If you take a spill, the watch can automatically make an emergency call.

If all those features sound like something you could use in your life, the Apple Watch is a great investment.
