Community Reviews
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 at Costco is drawing attention as a strong value for buyers who want the titanium Ultra with GPS and cellular, especially for diving, battery life, and the sapphire display. In-store stock has been found at many warehouses even when the website shows out of stock, and the kiosk ticket or local check can help confirm availability. Best Buy price matching has also worked repeatedly, though it often takes multiple tries and sometimes requires proving local stock. The main caveat is that availability and price match approval vary by store, zip code, and agent, so persistence matters. A solid deal if you can find it locally.
Common Questions (5)
Often yes. Several attempts were denied when the item was out of stock locally, but matches were approved when the rep accepted a warehouse zip showing low stock or when a different agent reviewed the request.
Yes, Best Buy can price match it, but approval depends on the agent and whether the Costco item appears in stock for the zip code used. Some matches were approved on the first try, while others required multiple attempts or a different rep.
Yes. Multiple shoppers bought it in person after the website showed out of stock, including stores with several units on hand and others where the last unit was still available.
At this price, the Ultra 3 is a strong buy if you want the Ultra features, battery headroom, sapphire durability, and 5G + Satellite. It is less compelling if you already own an Ultra 1 or 2, since the upgrade is smaller than moving up from an older Series watch.
No. The watch is in-store only and availability varies by warehouse; several locations showed stock even when the website said out of stock, while other stores had none. Checking locally or asking at the warehouse kiosk is the practical way to confirm.

They first confirmed the price match. Then waited on the line while I placed the order and provided them the order #, and then the agent submitted the refund for ~$220 (diff + tax).

How did you get that rep accommodate? Each time after they asked for a zip code, they would say Costco website in out of stock, therefore they can't match the sales price
