Smartwatches have become a useful tool in our lives, especially for those who don’t want to be looking at a phone screen constantly. Apple makes some of the best, with its most expensive and feature-rich models being the Apple Watch Ultras. While the latest model is the Watch Ultra 2, you can save yourself a significant amount of money by opting for the still-excellent Watch Ultra instead. Released just last year, the Watch Ultra has been discounted to the lowest price it’s ever been, and you can grab it at Best Buy for $629 instead of $799. Amazon has also discounted it down to $630 if you’d rather go with it instead.

At face value, the rugged looks of the Apple Watch Ultra might seem like it’s mostly made for people who are into athletics and fitness, but it’s much more versatile than that. For example, it has a longer battery life than most Apple Watches, as well as a much brighter screen. If that wasn’t enough, this 49mm version of the app has both cellular and dual-GPS frequencies, the latter of which is great if you like to jog or run and want to keep track of it.

It also has the full suite of tracking sensors and features, including things like VO2 Max, heart-rate detection and the new-ish car crash detection. There’s no built-in app or metric to tie them all together, like the Body Battery from Garmin, but the stats are there in detail to view them when you’d like, and third-party apps can take advantage of them. Also, for those who are into more athletic activities, the Watch Ultra is water resistant down to 100 meters and comes with a titanium body that makes it a lot more hardy in the great outdoors.

There are many more great features to the Watch Ultra that we don’t have space to cover here, but it’s worth taking a look at CNET’s full Apple Watch Ultra review. If you’re on the fence about which watch to pick, it’s also worth looking at our comparison between the Watch Ultra 2 versus the Watch Ultra.
