According to MacRumors, which tracks Apple deals, it lands roughly $100 below the last time this model went on sale. The site also disclosed that it is an affiliate partner with some of the vendors it links to and may earn a small payment when readers buy.\n\nA second listing sets the price in context. The site said the Black and Natural Ultra 3 models are $649.00, down from $799.00, at Amazon and Best Buy this week. That is about 19% off, and it is more than $100 below the current sale price of the Ultra 4, the newer model.\n\nThe two deals do not line up neatly. The Milanese Loop version carries a $100 higher list price than the $799 models, yet at $599.97 it now costs $49.03 less than the $649 listing. Anyone who wanted the metal band is getting it for less than the cheaper configuration, though this is a deal on one color and one band size. By the same math, the $599.97 price sits more than $149 under the Ultra 4's current sale price.\n\nThat gap is the real decision. An older Ultra at a deep discount works as a cheaper way into the same product line, and the choice comes down to whether the Ultra 4's upgrades are worth roughly $150 or more to you. The site pointed readers to its Ultra 3 vs. Ultra 4 buyer's guide for that comparison. A shopper who mostly wants the Ultra's size, battery and rugged build has a stronger case for the older model than one chasing the newest features.","[\"apple-watch\",\"deals\",\"apple\",\"wearables\"]","2026-10-20T13:29:19.000Z","2026-10-20T14:13:57.938Z","2026-10-20T14:13:59.845Z","published",null,[24,30,34],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"Fix the factual contradiction where the $649.00 listing is called 'cheaper still' than $599.97 (it costs $49.03 more); name MacRumors instead of the vague 'deal write-up' and 'the source' references; drop the unsupported 'retailers push it ahead of the holidays' pattern claim and the 'real pressure on the Ultra 4's premium' analysis, which rest on a single deal post; and end with a concrete closing paragraph rather than pointing readers to a buyer's guide.","resolved",{"id":31,"reviewer":26,"round":32,"reason":33,"status":29},"editor-r2",2,"The arithmetic contradiction is fixed, but the draft still never names MacRumors (it says 'the site that flagged the deal', 'the same post' and 'the material'), so name MacRumors and its affiliate disclosure directly; also cut the meta-sounding 'the material does not say' line and the unsupported claim that the Ultra 3 'is discounted at all' because it is older, and end on a substantive closing paragraph instead of re-stating the $49.03 difference.",{"id":35,"reviewer":26,"round":36,"reason":37,"status":29},"editor-r3",3,"The draft still never names MacRumors (it says 'a deal listing', 'the publication that tracked the deal'), so name MacRumors and its affiliate disclosure directly; also remove the invented 'October 20' date, the unsupported 'Apple discounts usually get deeper' holiday claim and the 'how much further it can fall' speculation, cut the meta-sounding 'does not say' lines, fix the garbled Amazon\u002FBest Buy sentence, and end on a substantive closing paragraph.","deals",[40,38,41,42],"apple-watch","apple","wearables",[44],{"name":45,"url":46},"MacRumors","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.macrumors.com\u002F2026\u002F10\u002F20\u002Fapple-watch-ultra-3-new-low-2\u002F",0,{"sections":49},[50,55,60,65,69,74,79,84,89,94,99,104,109,113],{"name":51,"slug":52,"count":53,"latest_published_at":54},"AI","ai",7042,"2026-10-20T16:00:00.000Z",{"name":56,"slug":57,"count":58,"latest_published_at":59},"Security","security",1015,"2026-10-20T12:00:00.000Z",{"name":61,"slug":62,"count":63,"latest_published_at":64},"Policy","policy",546,"2026-10-20T13:11:23.000Z",{"name":66,"slug":38,"count":67,"latest_published_at":68},"Deals",536,"2026-10-20T15:55:20.000Z",{"name":70,"slug":71,"count":72,"latest_published_at":73},"Hardware","hardware",271,"2026-10-20T15:25:03.000Z",{"name":75,"slug":76,"count":77,"latest_published_at":78},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",252,"2026-10-20T16:04:13.000Z",{"name":80,"slug":81,"count":82,"latest_published_at":83},"Science","science",207,"2026-10-20T12:50:00.000Z",{"name":85,"slug":86,"count":87,"latest_published_at":88},"Startups","startups",135,"2026-10-20T11:00:00.000Z",{"name":90,"slug":91,"count":92,"latest_published_at":93},"Software","software",134,"2026-10-20T14:57:15.000Z",{"name":95,"slug":96,"count":97,"latest_published_at":98},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",119,"2026-10-20T13:00:00.000Z",{"name":100,"slug":101,"count":102,"latest_published_at":103},"General","general",88,"2026-10-20T09:36:16.000Z",{"name":105,"slug":106,"count":107,"latest_published_at":108},"Gaming","gaming",80,"2026-10-20T13:24:49.000Z",{"name":110,"slug":111,"count":112,"latest_published_at":59},"Reviews","reviews",38,{"name":114,"slug":115,"count":116,"latest_published_at":117},"How-To","how-to",8,"2026-10-05T09:00:00.000Z"]
