Amazon’s Prime Day Offers Record Low Price on Apple Watch Ultra 3

Amazon’s October Prime Day is approaching, and the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is seeing a record-low 22% discount, dropping the price to $700 from $899.

Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 Updates

While Apple’s recent keynote focused on the iPhone 18 Pro and the iPhone Duo, it also introduced the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4. Updates this year were largely iterative, with some features available on older models still receiving software updates.

Ultra 3: A Recommended Upgrade

Associate commerce editor Bryn Gelbart calls the Apple Watch Ultra 3 “the best Apple Watch ever,” noting he was previously uninterested in premium upgrades. It boasts enhanced fitness and health tracking, a bright 49mm display, satellite messaging, a durable titanium case, and a long-lasting battery (42 hours under normal use, 72 hours on Low Power Mode).

Best for Power Users

Apple Watch Ultra 3 (GPS + Cellular, 49mm) - Now $700

Best Entry-Level Smartwatch

Apple Watch SE 3 [GPS 40mm] - $249. Gelbart recommends the SE 3 for newcomers, highlighting its simplicity and accuracy as a workout tracker.

Limited Stock on Series 11

Stock of the Apple Watch Series 11 is currently limited, making the Apple Watch SE 3 a strong alternative for those seeking a sub-$300 option. It previously dropped to $190.
