It's not every day that you run into a good deal on the best Apple Watches, but thankfully this year's Presidents' Day sales are being quite generous. Right now, three of our favorite models are seeing price drops, but the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is the clear winner.

In Best Buy's President's Day event, you can score the Ultra 2 for $549 (was $799) and save $250, a deal that's outstanding compared to current offers from the likes of Amazon. But the best part about the Presidents' Day sales is that there is a deal and model out there for everyone, so you don't need to feel pressured to keep up to date with the most recent, advanced smartwatch there is — it's okay to settle for the previous generation if the price suits you better.

Thanks to the Apple Watch Ultra 3 which dropped in September last year, its predecessor is getting more discounts than ever – even better that it's one of Apple's most powerful fitness trackers. With a 36-hour battery life and extensive health functions, the Ultra 2 isn't far behind the Ultra 3, meaning that you don't need to splurge on the latest model if you can live without the minor upgrades. If money is no object for you this Presidents' Day and you want a robust, reliable fitness companion for the great outdoors, this is the model to look into to.

If the Ultra 2 is too rugged of a smartwatch for your needs, consider looking at the Apple Watch Series 11, which is now back to its lowest-ever price at Amazon. While it doesn't match the Ultra 2's tracking tools, it packs more health features than Apple's more basic models including Hypertension notifications and Sleep Score, both of which are flagship features for the Series 11.

Apple Watch SE 3 (GPS) 40mm Midnight Aluminum Case with Midnight Sport Band: was $249 now $219 at Best Buy

We rate the Apple Watch SE 3 the best smartwatch for most people because of its simple, yet effective combination of features and performance – especially if you're purchasing your first Apple Watch and don't need every health tracking feature under the sun. When you save $30 with this Best Buy deal, you'll also get a four-month free trial to Apple Fitness+, which will allow you to dive even further into the Apple Watch ecosystem.
