Black Apple Watch Ultra 3 configs up to $104 off at Best Buy (Open-box, 1-yr. warranty)

$104 off/Ultra 3

We caught some short-lived $99 price drops on the latest black Watch Ultra 3 over the holidays last year, but these offers were quite limited. They were, for the most part, only live on the large band-size configs and only on select models of them, however Amazon is offering some slight price drops to deliver new all-time low pricing on the small and medium size options today, while Best Buy is offering as much as $104 off “excellent” open-box listings. 

Again, the new unit deals at Amazon are slight for the most part, but we are talking about all-time low pricing on much of them:

• Black Apple Watch Ultra 3 + Black Alpine Loop $768 (Reg. $799)
• Black Apple Watch Ultra 3 + Black Trail Loop $768 (Reg. $799)
• Black Apple Watch Ultra 3 + Blue Trail Loop $768 (Reg. $799)

However, if you don’t mind going with an “excellent” condition open-box unit with a 1-year Apple warranty, there are much better prices to be had. You’ll find up to $94 off the standard band options and as much as $104 off the elevated config with the gorgeous black Milanese Loop attached:

• Black Apple Watch Ultra 3 + Black Alpine Loop $705 (Reg. $799)
• Black Apple Watch Ultra 3 + Black Trail Loop $707 (Reg. $799)
• Black Apple Watch Ultra 3 + Black Ocean Band $719 (Reg. $799)
• Black Apple Watch Ultra 3 + Milanese Loop $795 (Reg. $899)
• And even more…

Here are some additional details on these top-end open-box listings from Best Buy:

• Geek Squad Verified
• Works and looks like new. Restored to factory settings.
• Includes all parts and accessories. Packaging may vary or be absent.
• 1-year Apple warranty

We might very well start to see proper discounts on the brand new Ultra 3 models at some point later in the year, but thus far price drops have been light at best. Even the Black Friday offers were quite limited, so it’s hard to say if or when we will get something particularly substantial before the major summer sale season begins.
