If you’re looking for a sporty smartwatch that’s both stylish and functional, particularly one you don’t have to worry about going from the office to an intense trailhead, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is one of our favorites. It’s top of the line for good reason, delivering a bigger and brighter display in an incredibly durable silhoutte, which is why it’s also the most expensive — except for today.
Ahead of Black Friday last year (arguably the best time to upgrade your tech at a discount), the recently released model dropped to $739, but it’s even less right now. You can get the Apple Watch Ultra 2 for $714— an all-time low at Amazon. As long as you don’t mind the Titanium case and Blue/Black trail loop wrist strap, that is.
Our fitness editor, who tests running watches for a living, previously argued that the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is the best Apple Watch to buy for athletes. Whether you’re training for a marathon, triathlon or 5K, this device can do it all. The even brighter screen, for instance, makes it that much easier to glance at your stance mid-stride no matter the time of day. The 3,000 nits cut through direct sunlight with no problem. And while we wish it’s battery life lasted a smidge longer, it’s still the most enduring you can buy from Apple.
The premium price tag ($799) is hefty—in fact, it’s double that of the Apple Watch Series 9 ($399)—but worth the investment when you consider all those rugged-proof details. So, if you’ve been hemming and hawing over whether or not to snatch it up, this is the cheapest we’ve ever seen on the market. My recommendation: jump on it while the offer still stands!
