As a big fan of both keeping fit and paying less for tech, I'm always on the hunt for sizable savings on wearables. So you better believe my ears pricked up when I noticed a top-notch wearable had hit its lowest price ever – you can currently pick up the Apple Watch Ultra 2 for $644.26 (was $799) at Amazon.
For such a premium Apple product (although ‘premium’ may be a little redundant there), this is a seriously good price. It is worth noting that there are only two colorways reduced here, with the Black Titanium Case with Black Ocean Band going for $644.26 and the Rugged Titanium Case with Orange Ocean Band selling for only marginally more at $649.99. Either way, that’s the cheapest Amazon’s ever offered them, making them one serious bargain.
As the proud owner of Apple’s cheapest smartwatch, the original Watch SE, you can tell I’m a bit of a sucker for value prices. But this deal is convincing me the time is right for me to go Ultra – and if you’re looking for one of the best smartwatches on the market, I’d argue it is for you as well.
Amazon deal: Apple Watch Ultra 2
Whether I'm using it for tracking runs, listening to music on the go, or just clumsily tapping out messages, I love my Apple Watch SE. Unfortunately, it's starting to feel a little long in the tooth. Not only am I missing vital features like blood oxygen and sleep apnea tracking – as someone diagnosed with the disorder, this would be incredibly helpful – but I also live in fear of smashing or scratching it every time I go rock climbing.
As you can see from our 4.5-star Apple Watch Ultra 2 review, though, this rugged and seriously smart tracker can easily rise to this challenge. That titanium case and sapphire crystal display should be able to withstand the odd clonk against a rock face, while its longer 36-hour battery and absurdly bright 3,000 nit display mean I could use it all day, even in the blazing sun. Finally, the health features are potentially life-extending: having detailed insight into my heart health or when my sleep apnea is acting up would be a game-changer.
Really, the only thing preventing me from upgrading from my old faithful band has been that price. But this huge 19% discount really is starting to convince me that now is the perfect time to upgrade – and, if you've also had your eye on the Watch Ultra 2, you should seriously consider whether it's worth snapping it up at this great price.
