I used the Apple Watch Ultra 2 to train for a marathon, and I'd buy it again at this record-low Black Friday price

I've seen a plethora of excellent smartwatch offerings in the Black Friday deals, but the Apple Watch Ultra 2 isn't a watch that gets many significant discounts – especially in its new black colorway that debuted this year. I mean, look at the picture above: it looks like the sort of watch Batman would wear, complete with the ability to show him a GPS map of the best route to Arkham Asylum.

Because the discounts on the Ultra 2 in general and the black Ultra 2, in particular, are so small, I was so pleased to find this doorbuster deal: at Best Buy, you can get the Apple Watch Ultra 2 in black for $719 down from $799. That's a 10% saving and the lowest price I've seen on the black Ultra 2 yet.

This is the best Apple Watch Ultra 2 deal I've seen in the US during this Black Friday deals period. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is currently ranked as our best smartwatch ever, and its black exterior colorway is new for 2024. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is an incredible device with a working dive computer, highly accurate GPS, and outstanding fitness tracking capabilities.

I reviewed the Apple Watch Ultra 2 last year, awarding it 4.5 stars, and wore it during the hardest race of my life: the 2024 London Marathon. It performed brilliantly (even if I struggled). I think this is a spectacular watch and a 10% discount on the new black version is not to be sniffed at. You'll have to purchase the rest of the batsuit separately, though.
