Update: While the Ocean Band deals below have come and gone now, Amazon is now offering the Apple Watch Ultra 2 on the Alpine Loop starting from $714 shipped. Regularly $799, this is one of the lowest prices we have tracked on an Alpine Loop configuration and matching the ongoing discount below on the Trail Loop config. 

While you can still score the Ultra 2 with the Trail Loop band down at $714 – with one color option, Amazon is now offering Apple Watch Ultra 2 with the Ocean Band in three colors down at $729 shipped. Regularly $799, this is $70 off and the lowest price we can find on this configuration. Now, if you’re just looking to score an Ultra 2 and then flip the band out to something else (like the amazing leather Burton Goods straps we have an exclusive offer on or the best metal bracelet models right here), then you might as well grab the configuration with the Trail Loop at $714. However, if you’re one of the those people that are into the Ocean Band style (I’m one of those people), then the $729 price is a notable one. The Apple Ocean Band carries a regular price of $99 if you buy it separately. Head below for more details. 

While I personally love a more traditional leather or metal strap, be it for an Apple Watch or a traditional mechanical timepiece, if I’m going to go pure sporty with an Ultra 2, the Ocean is it for me. There’s something about the sort of 3D rounded barrel treatment spanning the length of elastomer strap and titanium buckle that matches the watch case that just does it for me. 

Beyond the strap setup here, you’re looking at Apple’s flagship, current-generation wearable, as I’m sure anyone reading this will know. The 49mm corrosion-resistant titanium case comes loaded with tech controlled by way of your voice, Apple’s multi-function Digital Crown, and a secondary Action Button. Its brightest Always-on display showcases all of the workout and health tracking features alongside built-in cellular connectivity options and those magical pinch gestures.  

And here’s how to turn on double tap-like pinch gesture control on almost any Apple Watch.

Apple Watch Ultra 2 features:

Rugged, capable, and built to meet the demands of endurance athletes, outdoor adventurers, and water sport enthusiasts — with a specialized band for each. The S9 SiP enables a superbright display and a magical new way to quickly and easily interact with your Apple Watch without touching the display. Up to 36 hours of battery life and 72 hours in Low Power Mode. 49mm corrosion-resistant titanium case. Large Digital Crown and Customizable Action button for instant control over a variety of functions. 100m water resistance.
