While Apple didn’t announce the Apple Watch Ultra 3 at its iPhone launch event, you can now get the Apple Watch Ultra 2 at a deep discount. The company’s high-performance smartwatch is currently marked down to $689 on Amazon, significantly cheaper than it was on Amazon Prime Day in July. That’s a savings of $110, making it one of the best discounts ever. Prime Day is still happening this year in October (though no specific date has been announced yet), so the smartwatch could go on sale again within the next few weeks.
This luxury watch is made for serious athletes and those with special fitness tracking needs, so the sensors are accurate and the exterior is surprisingly durable. It has the same 49mm form factor as the original, so it’s not too chunky. The screen is much brighter than the OG Ultra, up to 3,000 nits, which should make it easier to read in low light, another plus for extreme athletes who train early in the morning.

As for power, the smartwatch is equipped with Apple’s new S9 chip, which brings the aforementioned double-tap gesture controls and upgraded Siri functionality. The battery can last up to 72 hours on a single charge if in low-power mode; otherwise, it will die out after about 36 hours.
This is a pretty good smartwatch. Not only is it twice the price of the Apple Watch 9, but it’s packed with features that most people won’t need. This is a machine for serious fitness enthusiasts or those who spend long periods off the grid. That being said, today’s sale makes this a very attractive product for us regular folks.
