If you can find an Ultra 3 new for <$660 go for that instead. Due to a limitation of six years for updates, divide the purchase price by number of years of updates left. In this case 550÷5. Also consider that they will lose 5-10% of the battery capacity the first year, and 5% per year thereafter.

They cannot sell Ultra 2 the same price as Ultra 3, I think this should be $499 watch in 2025...actually 2026.

Half price for LTE instead of 5G and no satellite connectivity?

I would get whichever is cheaper 2 or 3. Its damn near the same watch functionally and visually as far as 98% of how the gen pop uses it. Though it should be cheaper.

Bought mine new about 1 year ago for the cheapest I could get less than 700 which was a great price brand new. Through Consumer Cellular. So if you're not concerned about 2 vs 3 this is a good deal. Love my watch. I was a hard sell - my first Apple Watch, and I'm learning cool stuff about it all the time.

Go with Apple Watch Ultra 2 if you want a tough, full-featured smartwatch without overspending for everyday use, workouts, etc., it already does everything you want.Go with Ultra 3 if you care about the newest features: a bigger/brighter screen, longer battery life, and extra tricks for outdoor or travel.

Solid watch. I've been rocking the 2 since it came out and the battery health is still at 98% max battery after all this time. Also this model has the onboard O2 monitoring which some versions do not have, I see no need to upgrade past this one unless there is some real difference in the Ultra 4 or beyond.

Wish I would've gotten the Costco deal for $449 but they were sold out at all the stores near me.

An important thing to note is that the bigger screen and longer battery life are very, very minimal. If the Ultra 2 is cheap enough (~$550 or less), it is the better buy.
