SAVE $150: As of Oct. 15, the 2025 Apple Watch Ultra 3 is on sale for $649 at Best Buy. That’s 19% off its $799 MSRP and its lowest price ever.

Don’t look now, but the last-gen Apple Watch Ultra 3 is still in stock at Best Buy — and on sale for a record-low price.

Apple’s rugged smartwatch from fall 2025 is currently marked down to $649 on the electronics retailer’s website, which is $150 off its usual sticker price of $799 (a 19% savings). According to the price-tracking site camelcamelcamel, the only other time it’s been this cheap on Amazon was during its huge Prime Day sale in June.

The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is harder to find in stock these days. Apple discontinued it after launching the new Ultra 4 last month, and third-party retailers’ inventories are dwindling. In fact, I spotted the same $649 Ultra 3 deal on Amazon earlier this morning, but it sold out as I was writing this. (It’s now only available in used condition there.) Hustle if you’re still trying to nab it from Best Buy.

The Ultra 3 has the same rugged design as its successor, which also starts at $799, complete with a mega-bright, always-on OLED display, a 49mm titanium case, and a water-resistance rating of up to 100 meters. The Ultra 4 has better heart rate sensors, a slightly longer battery life, and a faster chip that supports a new Readiness app and Audio Intelligence tools. But otherwise, the two wearables’ core feature sets are identical. To name a few, there’s sleep tracking (including sleep apnea alerts), hypertension notifications, and Emergency SOS via satellite.

Mashable’s Stan Schroeder recommends the new Ultra 4 “if you’re an athlete, especially an endurance athlete,” and the Ultra 3 for those who just want “a cool watch on your wrist that you sometimes use for workouts.” With a $150 difference now separating them thanks to Best Buy’s deal, the Ultra 3 is also the cost-effective choice for the time being.
