It was simply a color refresh, I said. The original Apple Watch Ultra on your wrist was still perfectly fine. The landfills of the world were better off without Apple\u2019s first-gen ruggedized smartwatch filling it. Also, suggesting that you spend another $800 just because it looked sick as hell (I mean, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/9\/19\/24248380\/apple-watch-ultra-2-black-smartwatch-wearables\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">looketh at these photos<\/a>) isn\u2019t great advice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">I still stand by that statement. But, but, but!!! If, you have been good and resisted for this long, I feel both guilty and obligated to let you know the black Ultra 2 is $200 off, listed for $600 at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Apple-Cellular-Titanium-Alpine-Renewed\/dp\/B0DGJ7N8VH?sr=8-3&amp;tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bestbuy.7tiv.net\/c\/482924\/614286\/10014?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fproduct%2Fapple-watch-ultra-2-gps-cellular-49mm-titanium-case-with-black-ocean-band-black-2024%2FJJGCQ3FLGQ\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Best Buy<\/a> during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/808624\/black-friday-cyber-monday-guide-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Black Friday<\/a>. And that\u2019s a better value proposition now compared to back then for a few reasons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">For starters \u2014 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/793264\/apple-watch-ultra-3-review-satellite-5g-display-battery-wearable\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ultra 3<\/a> is very nice but also the upgrades are extremely minor. You get satellite messaging for emergencies (only helpful if you frequently go off-grid or have crap connectivity where you live) and slightly better battery. Also, this Black Friday price is only $10 more than Apple\u2019s refurbished models. And $200 off is solid savings if you\u2019re looking to upgrade from an original Ultra.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last year, I wrote that you do not need a black Apple Watch Ultra 2.
