A Milanese Loop configuration is also on sale for $699.97, a $199.03 discount off its $899 list. Not every listing on Amazon is worth clicking, though: some band options are priced at $779.99, only about $20 off the standard $799 rate, so check the exact configuration before assuming you're getting the headline deal.\n\nUltra 3 is officially the previous-generation model now that Ultra 4 is Apple's current model, which is likely why Amazon is willing to cut this deep before the holiday shopping season even starts. For anyone who doesn't need the newest chip or Ultra 4 exclusive features, this is meaningfully cheaper rugged hardware with the same core capabilities.\n\nIt's a straightforward trade: last-generation silicon for a lower price, which is exactly the kind of deal worth watching once a new flagship ships.","[\"apple watch ultra 3\",\"amazon deals\",\"wearables\",\"apple\"]","2026-09-23T14:15:02.000Z","2026-09-23T15:38:23.893Z","2026-09-23T15:38:30.415Z","published",null,[24,30],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"The dek claims the discount applies to 'only one color and band combo,' but the body itself lists three discounted configurations (Ocean Band, Milanese Loop, and other bands down to $779.99) — fix the dek so it doesn't contradict the body, and cut or substantiate the unsupported claim that Apple 'rarely sees discounts this steep this fast.'","resolved",{"id":31,"reviewer":26,"round":32,"reason":33,"status":29},"editor-r2",2,"Cut the closing paragraph — it's meta-commentary warning readers not to trust 'the headline price' and just repeats the $779.99\u002Fbarely-$20-off detail already stated in paragraph two; fold any necessary caveat into that earlier mention instead.","deals",[36,37,38,39],"apple watch ultra 3","amazon deals","wearables","apple",[41],{"name":42,"url":43},"MacRumors","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.macrumors.com\u002F2026\u002F09\u002F23\u002Fapple-watch-ultra-3-599\u002F",0,{"sections":46},[47,52,57,62,66,71,76,81,86,91,96,101,106,111],{"name":48,"slug":49,"count":50,"latest_published_at":51},"AI","ai",4356,"2026-09-23T18:03:00.000Z",{"name":53,"slug":54,"count":55,"latest_published_at":56},"Security","security",716,"2026-09-23T17:45:30.000Z",{"name":58,"slug":59,"count":60,"latest_published_at":61},"Policy","policy",374,"2026-09-23T17:06:16.000Z",{"name":63,"slug":34,"count":64,"latest_published_at":65},"Deals",217,"2026-09-23T17:13:12.000Z",{"name":67,"slug":68,"count":69,"latest_published_at":70},"Hardware","hardware",170,"2026-09-23T11:59:23.000Z",{"name":72,"slug":73,"count":74,"latest_published_at":75},"Science","science",134,"2026-09-23T09:00:00.000Z",{"name":77,"slug":78,"count":79,"latest_published_at":80},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",111,"2026-09-23T17:04:48.000Z",{"name":82,"slug":83,"count":84,"latest_published_at":85},"Software","software",84,"2026-09-23T17:28:13.000Z",{"name":87,"slug":88,"count":89,"latest_published_at":90},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",79,"2026-09-22T22:21:13.000Z",{"name":92,"slug":93,"count":94,"latest_published_at":95},"Startups","startups",66,"2026-09-23T17:28:38.000Z",{"name":97,"slug":98,"count":99,"latest_published_at":100},"Gaming","gaming",45,"2026-09-22T15:35:06.000Z",{"name":102,"slug":103,"count":104,"latest_published_at":105},"General","general",43,"2026-09-21T23:48:56.000Z",{"name":107,"slug":108,"count":109,"latest_published_at":110},"Reviews","reviews",27,"2026-09-22T13:00:00.000Z",{"name":112,"slug":113,"count":114,"latest_published_at":115},"How-To","how-to",6,"2026-06-16T09:00:00.000Z"]
