If you’re happy to go for the soon-to-be-previous-gen Ultra 2, now is an excellent time to do it, because Best Buy currently has a few different models of it with $150 off. Other models are $100 off there and at Amazon.
This price is available on the Apple Watch Ultra 2 in a few different configurations, but not all. We suggest figuring out if the one you like best is part of the deal before checking out.

No matter which band you choose, you’ll get the same Apple Watch Ultra 2, which means a large yet comfortable 49mm size and a gorgeous display that’s easy to read even in direct sunlight. Its size also means that it has the longest-lasting battery of any Apple Watch, so you can go longer between charges. There’s even the option to enable a low power mode to eke every last bit of juice out of it if the need arises.
Each Apple Watch Ultra 2 comes with cellular connectivity, so you can leave your iPhone at home while the corrosion-resistant titanium case is joined by a sapphire front crystal that makes it more resistant to scratches.
Like all Apple Watches, the Ultra 2 supports the same health and fitness features that have made these wearables so popular. You can track workouts, including heart rate zones and training load, among other things. All of that and more make this the go-to smartwatch for people who live an active life and want their wearable to keep up, no matter what they get up to.
Why this deal matters
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is often discounted, but prices can often be particularly volatile. This isn’t quite the best price we’ve seen this model sell for, but it isn’t far off. If you’re looking for a new smartwatch right now and don’t need the latest and greatest model, then this $150 discount is perfect.
