ZDNET’s best smartwatch, the Apple Watch Ultra 2, is on sale for $60 off for Black Friday. The watch, released less than three months ago, is now priced at $739, down from its regular price of $799. The discount is available for the 49mm Titanium Case model at Best Buy and Amazon.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2, released just one year after its base model, offers minor internal upgrades and is considered Apple’s latest and greatest smartwatch. While the external improvements are not groundbreaking, it is still a top-performing smartwatch.
Reviewers note that if you already own the base model, upgrading to the Ultra 2 may not make much sense. However, for first-time buyers, the Ultra 2 is considered “as good as it gets,” making it an ideal holiday gift for yourself or a loved one.
While Walmart does not have a Black Friday sale on the Ultra 2, they regularly sell it for $25 less than Apple’s price. Additionally, Best Buy, Walmart, and Amazon are offering discounts on other models, such as the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch SE.
