Unveiled in 2023, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 stands as the company’s flagship smartwatch, embodying both premium features and advanced technology. Following Apple’s recent event where the Apple Watch Series 10 was introduced, many anticipated that the pricing for the Ultra 2 would see some adjustments. While Apple products typically experience marginal discounts, particularly on high-end models, any reduction is welcome at this tier. Currently, the GPS + Cellular Apple Watch Ultra 2 is available for $679, down from its original price of $799, marking the lowest point since its launch, as reported by price-tracking services.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 distinguishes itself from its predecessor, the original Apple Watch Ultra, and even the Apple Watch Series 10. Although many may find the Series 10 to be the optimum selection for everyday use, the Ultra 2 offers unmatched luxury with its expansive display, stunning brightness of 3,000 nits, impressive water resistance up to 100 meters, and an extraordinary battery lifespan lasting up to 36 hours.

Designed with fitness enthusiasts in mind, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 holds a wealth of health-tracking capabilities. Yet, it also caters to casual users who appreciate its features. For instance, individuals seeking a dependable sleep tracker can gain valuable insights into their sleep patterns with the Ultra 2 as long as it remains charged. Moreover, there are additional functionalities, not highlighted during product announcements, such as sleep detection, a translation tool, and specific features aimed at Ultra users that assist with tracking fitness progress in the gym.

The current model priced at $679 is the cellular variant, providing users with an independent cellular connection, making it possible to leave the iPhone behind during runs while still enjoying music and making calls.
