Behold, the black Apple Watch Ultra 2 is $200 off during Black Friday

Last year I wrote that we don’t need a black man Apple Watch Ultra2. It was simply a color refresh, I said. The original Apple Watch Ultra on your wrist was still perfectly good. The world’s landfills would be better off without Apple’s first-generation rugged smartwatch. Also, suggesting that you spend an extra $800 just because it looked really sick (I mean, look at these photos) is not good advice.

I still stand by this statement. But, but, but!!! If you’ve been good and held out for this long, I feel both guilty and obligated to let you know that the black Ultra 2 is $200 off, listed for $600 on Amazon and Best Buy during Black Friday. And it’s a better value proposition today than it was then for several reasons.

For starters, the Ultra 3 is very nice but the upgrades are also extremely minor. You get emergency satellite messaging (only useful if you’re frequently off-grid or have poor connectivity where you live) and a slightly better battery. Plus, this Black Friday price is only $10 more than Apple’s refurbished models. And $200 off is a solid savings if you want to upgrade from an original Ultra to a newer model.
