Save $250 Off the Apple Watch Ultra 2 Smartwatch, Less Expensive Than on Black Friday

Sponsored

Apple’s previous flagship Apple Watch Ultra 2 smartwatch just dropped in price today. Amazon currently has select models for just $549 after a hefty $250 instant discount (retail price is $799). This is actually $50 cheaper than the best deal I saw during Black Friday, making it the lowest price of the year. The Watch Ultra 2 is the best watch in the lineup for anyone who enjoys the outdoors, thanks to its increased durability, more precise GPS, and activity specific features and apps.

Apple Watch Ultra 2 Smartwatch for $549 (was $799)

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 features a titanium case that’s more rugged and corrosion resistant than the softer aluminum or stainless steel casing found in the less expensive Apple Watches. Pure titanium, not titanium “coated” metal, is considerably more expensive and is probably one of the main reasons for the Ultra’s price tag. This is also a larger watch with a 49mm case size compared to 42mm-46mm for the Series 11 so it looks more substantial on your wrist.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 boasts a 1.92″ Retina LTPO OLED display with up to 2,000 nits of brightness. It’s protected by a scratch resistant sapphire crystal face. Other features include an S9 processor with 64GB of storage, dual-frequency GPS, beam-forming triple microphone array, dual speakers, up to 36 hours of battery life, 100m of water resistance, customizable physical action button, and a built-in Oceanic+ app that literally puts a dive computer on your wrist.

How does it compare with the newer Apple Watch Ultra 3

The Apple Watch Ultra 3 includes a few upgrades, including a faster S10 chip, newer LTPO3 OLED display, 5G compatibility, and a faster charging rate. Note, however, that the Ultra 3 currently sells for $779. These upgrades are more incremental than revolutionary, so I’d recommend saving those 230 simoleons and getting a watch that’s nearly as good.
