Personally I just went the used route. Found one with the sensor and 100% battery in good condition and saved a couple hundred bucks
The main new features you get with Ultra 2 are:
Double tap gesture support
On-device Siri with health access
Precision finding for iPhone
Hardware differences on the Ultra 2 vs. 1
1000 extra nits brightness on the Ultra 2
S9 Chip (vs S8 on Ultra 1)
64gb storage (vs 32gb on Ultra 1)
Gen 2 Ultra Wide-band chip (gen 1 on Ultra 1)
72 hours of battery life in low power mode (vs 60 on Ultra 1)
Ultra 1 would have Blood Oxygen if made and not refurbished before 2024 (from my understanding)
Not a noticeable difference in any way to 99% of users.

Was this supposed to be a new watch or refurbished? Did that come in an authentic looking Apple box?
How in the world does that get mixed in to Target's stock that supposedly comes from Apple I'm assuming?
Di they take it back/replace without hassle? I'm assuming their first thought would be that you're trying to return a fake one after receiving the real one.

If you read the reviews there are complaints about fakes and honestly I didn't believe it till I got one.
Target took it back and I bought an Ultra 2 from Best Buy.

I went for this deal for a few reasons. Firstly, the AWU2 actually does seem to get better real-world battery life than the AWU1 with a more efficient SIP, coming from Garmin the AWU battery life is already really weak so I wanted every last bit. Secondly, the newer SIP will likely be supported by new WatchOS releases for at least 1-2 additional years and the on-watch Siri is much faster which makes it actually useful.
The mixed reviews and the guaranteed 85% battery life scared me off the eBay refurb. A few reviews said the included strap and charger were not original and a real Apple strap+charger would easily cost $150 if you were to buy them new. Even if the watch comes with 90% instead of 100% battery health, that's probably an extra year of battery wear that is worth $100 to me as I want this watch to last me 5-6 years (or 3-4 with solid trade-in/resale value).

The one from Reebelo looked new to me and had 100% battery life, along with the OEM Apple Watch band and charger. I didn't even open the Amazon box and just returned it in the sealed Amazon box after testing out the Reebelo one for a few days to make sure nothing was wrong with it.

Obviously we'll see how it holds up but first impressions are great.
