Here’s why everyone is buying the Apple Watch Ultra 2 right now

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is the biggest and best smartwatch that Apple has ever released. Of course, it's also the most expensive model that Apple makes if you compare base prices. Even still, I recommend it all the time to people looking for a new model with the best possible battery life, as long as their wrist is big enough to pull it off. Of course, they also need to be willing to spend all that money on a smartwatch. Right now, however, you can snag an Apple Watch Ultra 2 with a huge discount if you get the Black Titanium version. That's why so many BGR readers are buying it at the moment.

Just like the first-generation model, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 retails for $799. But now, for the first time in months, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is currently on sale with an unreal discount. You can pick up Apple's biggest and best smartwatch for just $739. That matches the best price we've seen in months for the Black Titanium model.

If you read our Apple Watch Ultra 2 review, you'll see that this is the best smartwatch that Apple has ever released.

No, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 isn't a massive upgrade compared to the first-generation Ultra model, but there are several key areas that Apple focused on with the new version. And if you don't care about any of Apple's key improvements, you can always get a first-generation Apple Watch Ultra instead while renewed models are on sale for as little as $415.

As I mentioned, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is an improvement over the original model in a few key areas.

First, we have the display. Apple's new OLED screen is even brighter than the display on the first model. That's obviously a big deal in sunny environments, which is important since the Ultra model is geared toward the outdoors.

Also important is the fact that the new screen's brightness can go as low as 1 nit. That'll save plenty of battery life in low-light environments.

The other big hardware improvements are the S9 SiP and new health sensors in the Apple Watch Ultra 2. The watch is much faster and more responsive thanks to Apple's upgraded processor. Plus, health tracking is more accurate than ever before.

As long as you don't need pulse oximetry, which is still banned in the US due to a patent dispute, the Ultra 2 is better than the original in several key ways.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 retails for $799, just like its predecessor. That's a fair price for a rugged titanium smartwatch with some of the most advanced features in the industry.

If you want to save some money, however, you'll find that this model is currently on sale with a deep discount. Head over to Amazon, and you'll pay as little as $739 for the Apple Watch Ultra 2, which is a discount of $60.

I'll also note that this isn't the all-time low price for the Apple Watch Ultra 2, but it is the best price we've seen in the past few months. Also, this deal is for the Black Titanium model, which doesn't typically go on sale as often as the Natural Titanium version.
