Community Reviews
This Costco in store Ultra 3 deal is drawing attention for the $500 price and even lower in store finds around $450, with some locations showing stock despite the website saying out of stock. The watch is being treated as a strong value for buyers coming from older Apple Watch models, especially for the sapphire display, extra battery headroom, and 5G plus satellite support. Best Buy price matching has worked in many cases, though approval often depends on the rep and some attempts fail when the item is not in stock locally. A solid pickup if you can find stock or get the match approved.
In-store shoppers can sometimes find multiple units even when the website shows out of stock.
