Don't get the Apple Watch Ultra 3 — Amazon has a record-low deal on the Apple Watch Ultra 2, and it's just as powerful and accurate

It's not every day you run into a record-low deal on the best Apple Watches, but that's what the Amazon Big Spring Sale is for, and there's one particular deal that will save you a generous $300.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is built for fitness connoisseurs and adventurers alike, and now our 4.5-star wearable is now $499 (was $799) while Amazon's sale is ongoing. This discount brings one of Apple's premium smartwatches down to its lowest price, beating last year's Black Friday listing.

To me, this deal is a no-brainer; it's a rare offer that not even the biggest sale event of the year has matched. Though it's still an investment, it's $300 cheaper than the newer Apple Watch Ultra 3, a model that has a lot of the same features as its predecessor, making it a near-identical device, despite some minor upgrades that the average user could easily do without.

Record-low price: Sometimes, Black Friday isn't always the best time to shop for the best deals, and this offer proves it. Though it's not the most recent model in the Ultra lineup, there are no deals on the Apple Watch Ultra 3 on Amazon right now, but the Ultra 2 shares a lot of the same fitness tracking features for $300 less. Besides, Apple discounts are hard to come by, which is what makes this deal even more worth the hype.

When we compared the Apple Watch Ultra 2 to the Apple Watch Ultra 3, we found some minor design upgrades in the latter, but for the most part, the Ultra 2 is pretty much the same device.

The Ultra 2 is still rugged in design, with a bright display and fitted with a titanium case to endure all kinds of conditions. If you're enthusiastic about your outdoor activities, this watch can put up with the best of them, and it has the tracking features to match. Think 36-hour battery life, accurate GPS tracking, and access to Strength Training workout profiles, allowing you to build and customize your own regimes with work and rest segments.

Additionally, the Ultra 2 also runs on watchOS 26, just like the Ultra 3, meaning it also offers hypertension alerts and the sleep score feature, giving you another reason not to spend an extra $300.
