Pre-orders have now landed on the new Apple Watch Ultra 3, alongside the savings opportunities we featured on the new Apple Watch Series 11 and AirPods Pro 3. Amazon now has listings live on the latest flagship Apple wearable, but Best Buy is now offering a $50 off to its members alongside some trade-in options – it just might not be the best option.
Apple Watch Ultra 3 pre-order deals/trade-ins
Much like we saw on the AirPods Pro 3, Best Buy is now offering its Plus and Total members a straight $50 discount on the new Ultra 3. This isn’t store credit you receive after the fact or enhanced trade-in value, but rather just a promotion for its members that will drop the regularly $799 pro-grade Apple Watch Ultra 3 down to $749.99 shipped.
Now you will obviously have to be a paid Best Buy member to actually take advantage of this deal, but it is by and large the only game in town when it comes to straight up cash discounts for those who are (outside of the limited educational offers and the like).
With that said, My Best Buy Plus and Total members can also double down on this offer with Best Buy’s trade-in values as well. But you might only want to take advantage of this if you happen to already have some store credit on your account you can use as well.
As of right now, Best Buy is offering us $250 credit with Apple Watch Ultra 2 trade-ins, $185 with Apple Watch 1 trades, and $180 when trading up from Apple Watch Series 10. But here’s the thing…
Over on the official Apple Store, we are getting better quotes – typically speaking Best Buy offers more than Apple, but even with the FREE $50 credit Apple will knock even more off your Ultra 3 with an Ultra 2 trade-in. With a 2024 Apple Watch Ultra 2 configuration (the Natural with the Tan Alpine Loop to be exact), we are getting the following:
So even with the extra $50 credit Best Buy amounts to $300 with an Ultra 2 trade, Apple however will send you up to $335 back against your Ultra 3 purchase.
