Apple fans are more than aware that the Silicon Valley tech giant rarely offers discounts, but you can save on its devices during major sale seasons via third-party retailers such as Amazon and Best Buy. And with new year fitness regimes well underway, one of those retailers is taking 10% off Apple’s fitness-focused wearable. Amazon has dropped various Apple Watch Ultra 2 configurations as low as $720, a huge $79 saving.
There’s a lot to like about the Apple Watch Ultra 2. It has a bigger screen, thanks to its larger 49mm case, and high-precision GPS for use when you’re out in the wilderness or just want reliable data for your workouts. The extra-long battery life ensures you get multiple days from a single charge, and the rigged titanium case is strong yet light, perfect for your next adventure. You also get access to all the usual features, including fitness and activity tracking, heart rate monitoring and more.

The good news is that three band options are available at this low price right now. You can choose between an orange/beige trail loop, a blue-black design or a green-gray finish. We’re particularly fans of the orange-beige one as it’s more of a statement piece but if you’d prefer something that blends in but still looks sleek the blue-black or green-gray is the way to go. The bands are interchangeable, so you can always swap it out for a different style down the line.

Why this deal matters
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 doesn’t need to go on sale. People are always going to be willing to pay a price, even one that’s high, to get a quality device — and that’s arguably even more true for dedicated Apple fans. So, any discount is worth paying attention to, and for those wanting the ultimate Apple Watch in terms of ruggedness and features, this is probably the best bet. For reference, the lowest price we’ve seen Apple’s rugged watch go is $689, so this is a solid deal.
