Apple Watch Ultra 3 discounted to $700 ahead of Black Friday
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is on sale for $700 (down from $800), making it one of the standout wearable deals this holiday season. This model ships with 64GB storage, a 49mm titanium case, GPS + cellular support and the new satellite communication features that let you call or share your location in emergencies.
Released in early September, the Ultra 3 also brings a larger display thanks to thinner bezels and an improved battery that can last up to about 42 hours in typical use. The sale is limited to certain color and band options: a Black titanium case with Black Ocean band and a Natural titanium case with Anchor Blue Ocean band.
Quick specs & highlights
