Woot today is now offering the original Apple Watch Ultra with your choice of band color and style for $694.99 Prime shipped. Delivery will run you $6 otherwise. This is down from the usual $799 price tag and marking one of the better chances to save. We typically don’t see much variety on these previous-generation wearables when they go on sale now, but Woot saved the best stock for last after Christmas with $104 in savings across styles with Ocean Band, Trail Loop, and Alpine Loop stylings. We break everything down below the fold, including how it compares to the new Ultra 2 that is beginning to sell out now that Apple had to stop selling it.
Apple Watch Ultra is the original version of Apple’s most capable wearable with an even more rugged design than its flagship Series 8 counterpart. Everything about that improved feature set is packed into a titanium case that encircles the larger 49mm screen that’s the brightest Always-On Retina display yet. Apple Watch Ultra also sports a more distinct side module that encompasses the usual Digital Crown, as well as a secondary, customizable action button to round out the form-factor adjustments. There’s also a 100-meter water-resistance rating, as well as 36-hour battery life, dual-frequency GPS, and everything else you can read about over at 9to5Mac.
As for how it compares to the new Apple Watch Ultra 2, you’re not missing all too much. There is the new S9 chip at the center of the fitness tracking experience, as well as the new pinch gesture recognition, but you’re largely looking at the same wearable as the discounted model above.
