With the launch of the Apple Watch Ultra 3, we’re starting to see discounts on the Apple Watch Ultra 2, and Best Buy has one of the most attractive offers for the smartwatch. From its original price of $799, it’s on sale for a more affordable $649, for huge savings of $150. However, with stocks of the wearable device possibly already running low, you’re going to have to be quick with your purchase if you want to make sure that you’re able to take advantage of the discount.

Why you should buy the Apple Watch Ultra 2

Even with the arrival of the Apple Watch Ultra 3, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 remains a great choice for iPhone owners who want a smartwatch. The wearable device features a 49mm corrosion-resistance titanium case for durability, a large Digital Crown and a customizable Action button to access its various functions, and battery life of up to 36 hours that stretches to up to 72 hours with Low Power Mode activated. The display is stunning and super bright, and it can be upgraded to the latest watchOS 26.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 will maximize your training with advanced metrics and helpful insights from the Workout app, with other health and safety features that include the ECG app, the Blood Oxygen app, sleep tracking, and automatic emergency calls in case of a crash. The wearable device also offers specific features for certain sports, such automatic track detection for runners, speed and elevation tracking for cyclists, offline maps for hikers, and automatic stroke detection and lap count for swimmers.

In one of the most tempting Apple Watch deals that you can shop today, Best Buy is selling the Apple Watch Ultra 2 at $150 off, which brings its price down from $799 to only $649. That’s a solid price for this premium wearable device, but you’ll need to act fast because we’re not sure how much time you’ve got left to grab this offer. Tomorrow may already be too late, so proceed with your transaction for the Apple Watch Ultra 2 within the day if you can.
