The Apple Watch Ultra 2, which came out last September, is Apple’s latest and most expensive smartwatch. As is the case with most Apple flagship products, the discounts aren’t massive, but they know they don’t need to be for you to buy them. The GPS + Cellular Apple Watch Ultra 2 is currently $689 (originally $799), the lowest price it has been since its release, according to price-checking tools. This is $10 cheaper than it was at Christmas. The only one available is the one-size-fits-all for wrists measuring 130mm to 200mm.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is different than the previous first-generation Apple Watch Ultra and the Apple Watch Series 9. It’s the most premium Apple watch, with the biggest case size (screen), brightest screen (3,000 nits), deepest water resistance of 100 meters, and longest battery life of up to 36 hours.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is packed with fitness-focused features, but even if you aren’t a health nut, it still has a lot of great features for casual users as well. People who want a reliable sleep tracker can learn a lot about their sleep habits with the Ultra 2 as long as they keep it well-charged. Apple is still upgrading its watchOS, with their WWDC event in June revealing new features for it. There are other features not highlighted on the event like nap detection, a translation app, and a feature for Ultra users only that helps you keep track of your current progress in the gym.
The model currently available for $689 is the cellular version, meaning you have an independent cellular signal on your smartwatch and can leave your phone behind on runs and still listen to music or make calls.
