Apple Watch Ultra 3 stands out as a rugged, cellular Apple Watch with strong ecosystem features, quick wireless charging, and the freedom to call, text, and use data without a nearby phone. Costco's 90 day return window and in store availability add deal appeal, and the included Ocean band can fit small wrists despite sizing concerns on other bands. The main tradeoff is size and weight, which can feel bulky for daily wear or running, and battery life is still a concern for longer fitness use. A solid option if you want the Ultra experience and can live with the bulk.

Amazon lowered Ultra 3 price to $699 today:

https://www.amazon.com/Apple-Mult...r=8-1&th=1

Additional 5% (or 6%) off with Prime card but only 15 days to return vs. 90 days at Costco.

I'll take the AMZ deal and hold on to it to see if prices drop lower anywhere within return window.

Not sure if I should ask for price adjustment or return it... Ultra is awesome but heavy so constantly feel it while the S11 I forget I'm wearing.
Get a Rolex, even others will know you are wearing it.

Wow folks, are you all still buying Apple Watch Ultra? My Ultra 1 is collecting dust.
I'll take it off your hands(wrist) for you if you don't like it and don't use it. I'll even do you a solid, I'll take it off your hands for FREE, you don't even have to pay me anything. Sound like a deal?

What should I get this, wait for a deal on ultra 2, series 10 or the se3 on sale right now at Costco? Just need something for accurate calorie burn, pickleball and weight lifting calories burned. I like the look of the ultra 3 but feel like it's overkill. Also want nice aftermarket case options. TIA

This or Garmin Venu X1? On many comparison websites, they are putting Garmin Venu X1 way above Apple Watch Ultra 3, besides Venu X1 looks stunning and not as bulky as this watch, it's really the thinnest Garmin watch I've ever seen.
it depends how you use it - they both have their advantages:
Garmin has 2x the battery life, but few general purpose apps. If you want to count your steps it's fine, but if you want to order Domino's it's not going to happen.
Apple has most of the apps in the Apple ecosystem and a cellular connection so you can use it without a phone nearby to stay connected with calls/texts/data with a watch data plan.
While Apple watches require more frequent charging, the charging is quicker quicker and easier than with Garmin watches. I can put my Apple watch on a wireless charger before showering and by the time I'm dressed it's charged. Garmin watches usually require a proprietary cable and an hour+ to fully charge.

I only ever charge my garmin during showers and it's slower but it's still at 80% and gets to 92-95 before it repeats again the next day

Are you saying you only shower once a week or that you are unemployed/retired and have enough free time to charge a watch every day whose battery lasts more than a week?

I'm tempted but also really like buying from Apple and using the Apple Card's 0% interest free payments + 5% reward.

I may have to see if Apple will drop prices for BF.

Except the one size ocean band, others bands are all the largest size in their types, what a bummer.

Apple typically do not offer discounts at all for current gen products, other than refurbished.

Is this a joke 700 for a watch isn't the iPhone 17 this price and then you need a 700 watch to track your work out because yeah it means a ton you burned that many calories and tracked your work or time. Been jogging for many years and never needed a watch to figure I was running a 5 minute mile. My watch with my heart rate, steps etc tracks all of that and helps for my panic attacks $100 bucks out the door and works great, 700 are you kidding me for an apple logo.
