Outside of a one-off and extremely limited price drop for a couple hours, the latest Apple Watch Ultra 2 has basically never really dropped below $714. That’s a pricey smartwatch, especially considering you can score a Series 9 right now for $300 (that’s $100 off). Having said that, the Ultra is also one of the most attractive out there in my opinion, not to mention being one of the most powerful on the market. But if you’re looking to land the Ultra vibes without reaching as deep into your pocket, Amazon’s Renewed Premium program is stepping in today with a deep deal on the OG Apple Watch Ultra at $499 shipped. The original Apple Watch Ultra is still a beautiful wearable that also still fetches $800 in brand new condition on Amazon for a reason. Today’s deal is over $300 below that price to deliver one of the lowest points of entry from a reputable source we have ever tracked on any Apple Watch Ultra.
For some, spending $499 on a refurbished (details on this below, it comes with a 1-year warranty), is just too much. Again, you can land a brand new, current-generation Series 9 on sale right now at $199 less. But this is the high-end Ultra model, that still delivers that elevated tech and wearing experience. While some older Apple Watch models will not be able to run the new watchOS 11 when it lands this fall, the Apple Watch Ultra 1st Gen certainly will.
As details at 9to5Mac, the OG Ultra is still a notable option with 100-meter water-resistance, 36-hour battery life, dual-frequency GPS, and the secondary, customizable action button. It also delivers on a mostly comparable form-factor as the latest model while landing with a whole lot less expensive a price tag.
Here’s more details on Amazon’s Renewed Premium service – it essentially delivers better quality gear with a like-new treatment and a full 1-year warranty:
Amazon Renewed is your trusted destination for pre-owned and refurbished products that are inspected and tested to work and look like new. Any repairs are made with Apple components that are new, or reused and in like-new condition. The products will have minimal to no signs of wear, no visible cosmetic imperfections when held 12 inches away, batteries with at least 80% capacity relative to new, and may arrive in a brown or white box with relevant accessories (no headphones included) that may be generic.
