It may still be a pricey accessory at $750, but it beats paying full price.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 isn’t new, as it launched last year, but its newly available black color looks pretty sick and is currently receiving one of its first (small) discounts. Right now, you can get the black titanium Ultra 2 with a green Alpine Loop strap in either small or large sizes for $749.99 ($49 off) at Amazon. (And if you’re not style-obsessed, the Ultra 2 is still available at Amazon in its original color for $689.99.)
It’s still an expensive smartwatch even with this modest discount, but if you feel compelled to get one now, whether for its adventure-ready fitness tracking or fashion reasons (hey, no judgment here), you might as well save what you can.
Apple’s chunky wearable has a large 49mm display, and its titanium case makes it more than rugged enough for the average weekend warrior (as long as you’re one with a requisite iPhone, of course). But outside of the customizable Action Button for power users and features like multiband GPS, which is more accurate than the single-band GPS found on lesser Apple Watches, one of the biggest appeals of the Ultra is its battery life. It can easily last up to two full days on a single charge, which, for some folks, may make its high price worth it alone.
Read our Apple Watch Ultra 2 review.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 comes in one size — 49mm — and is geared toward athletic types. It’s the most rugged wearable in Apple’s lineup, offering the brightest display as well as the longest battery life. It runs on Apple’s last-gen S9 chip, letting you take advantage of Apple’s newer double tap feature.
