Best Buy currently has the Apple Watch Ultra on sale for just $599. That does make it the lowest price ever, beating out the previous all-time low by about $40. So this is a great time to buy it. A big reason for this being discounted so much is likely due to the Apple Watch ban, even though that only applies to the new Apple Watch Series 9 and Watch Ultra 2. But hey, we’ll take $200 off, right?
Remember that the Apple Watch Ultra is basically only available in one model. There are no colors, just the exposed titanium look, with the choice of three different bands. Now, the bands are available in different colors and at different prices. It’s also worth mentioning that this is the original Apple Watch Ultra, not the Ultra 2 that was announced in September.
Why you should buy the Apple Watch Ultra
The Apple Watch Ultra was announced in September 2022, and it has received some pretty good reviews since its announcement. Many that aren’t adventurous have come to like it. Why? Mainly for the bigger battery inside. Apple says the Watch Ultra battery can last around 36 hours on a charge. That’s double what the Apple Watch Series 8 is rated for. However, many are finding it lasting far longer than 36 hours.
Another significant benefit of the Apple Watch Ultra is the fact that it has a much brighter display than the other Apple Watches. It allows you to see it better outside in direct sunlight. It is also a lot more rugged. Since it has a titanium case, that makes it less susceptible to scratches and dings. Additionally, the screen is squared off, like the iPhone, allowing the screen to take less damage. Not to mention, it is also sapphire, so it’s less likely to scratch anyway.
Apple’s Watch Ultra only works with the iPhone, of course. However, the Ultra does come with Cellular by default. So you can connect it to your carrier (or not, you’re not forced to), and go out without your iPhone too. This is really great if you prefer to use Android but would rather have an Apple Watch on your wrist.
