Best Buy drops Apple Watch Ultra 3 to record-low $649

The window to acquire the discontinued wearable is closing rapidly. After Apple launched the Ultra 4 last month, supply chains for the previous generation have tightened. While Amazon listings for the device have already shifted to used inventory, Best Buy maintains a supply of new units. This model remains highly capable, sharing the same 49mm titanium chassis, 100-meter water resistance, and always-on OLED display as its successor.

While the newer Ultra 4 introduces refined heart rate sensors, extended battery life, and enhanced Audio Intelligence tools, the core functionality remains largely unchanged. Both devices support comprehensive sleep tracking, hypertension monitoring, and satellite-based Emergency SOS. For users prioritizing value over the minor performance bumps of the latest model, the current $150 price gap makes the Ultra 3 the more logical choice for everyday wear.
