Apple’s Fanciest Watch Is $100 Off

Looking for an Apple Watch that's as rugged and bold as you are? Right now, you can grab the Apple Watch Ultra 3 with GPS and Cellular for $700 on Amazon. Options for colors are fairly limited, but I spotted the Natural Titanium Case with Anchor Blue Ocean Band and the Black Titanium Case with Black Ocean Band at the discounted price. This upgraded smartwatch is built for the weekend, with dedicated adventuring features like satellite messaging and longer battery life.

The Watch Ultra 3 handles basically all of the tasks that the regular Apple Watch can, including notifications, fitness and sleep tracking, and a variety of useful apps. Apple continues to add a variety of health- and usability-focused features, and every Apple Watch model has a big, bright screen that's easily visible and always on. It has a 3D-printed case that makes it lighter and more efficient, which also means more room for the good stuff inside, and at 49 millimeters it's noticeably larger than any other Apple Watch.

What makes this watch “Ultra” is the variety of extra features tailored largely toward the adventurous and outdoorsy. There's satellite messaging built directly into the watch, so even if you find yourself in the wilderness without your phone you can stay in touch with the rest of the world. It has a much bigger battery as well, with a claimed 42 hours of stamina on a single charge, enough for a complete weekend in the woods. If you really need help, you can even sound an alert siren to attract attention from anyone who might be looking for you.

As the top-end model of Apple Watch, it also supports basically every health feature Apple has deployed to date. It has sensors for blood oxygen and skin temperature, ECG, and hypertension notifications, giving you a full suite of data about every workout.

Ready to take the plunge on an adventurous new watch? Head to Amazon to grab the Apple Watch Ultra 3 for $700 in either Black Titanium or Natural Titanium.
