You've got barely 12 hours left to take advantage of the best Apple deal available in the Prime Big Deal Days event, a $50 discount on the brand new Apple Watch Ultra 2. 

The Ultra 2 is the second iteration of Apple's rugged, outdoor smartwatch that brings with it a new chip, double tap technology, and an even brighter display. But what makes this the best deal of the event? In a year of its lifecycle, the original Apple Watch Ultra didn't see a discount of more than $20, yet the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is $50 off despite being less than a month old. When the event ends, so will this deal. It's not going to get any cheaper, and there's no guarantee it will resurface on Black Friday, so move fast.

A rugged feel

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is the absolute best Apple wearable out there. It has days' worth of battery life, a titanium base which exudes class, and a very impressive S9 SiP chip

I've been using an Apple Watch Series 7 for a while now, and this deal has made me very tempted to go for an upgrade. As we said in our Watch Ultra vs Watch Ultra 2 piece, it may not be worth paying full price for the upgrade from an Apple Watch Ultra, but with an improved neural engine, a powerful S9 SiP chip, and 64 GB of storage, it's worth picking up in a sale. 

Designed with divers and hikers in mind, it is swim-proof up to 100 meters, has precisions dual-frequency GPS, and the always-on retina display can shine up to 3,000 nits on bright days. This makes it fantastic for any would-be adventurers. 

The Action button, now a main function in the iPhone 15 Pro, gives users more customizability in their watch, and blood oxygen, ECG, heart rate, and crash detection sensors give you a much better way to monitor all those important signs throughout the day.

Though it is a bit of an investment, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is an excellent device, and this discount makes it even better.
