We’re are under a week out from the beginning of Prime Day. Don’t be fooled by the name, though. Amazon’s big summer savings even actually lasts for multiple days. Next week from Tuesday, June 23 through Friday, June 26 you can expect big deals across pretty much every category of product from PC gaming accessories to smart home products to vacuum cleaners to basketball hoops. The opportunities are now even beginning to bleed beyond that. Some products have already started to see some major discount ahead of the first day of Prime Day.
Take for example the Apple Watch Ultra 3. This outdoorsy multisport smart watch usually sells for $799. However, thanks to an early Prime Day discount, has come down in price by $99. You can now grab it for an even $700 for a limited time.
Ultra Rugged and Ready to Go
The Ultra version of the Apple Watch stands out from the other models because of its rugged design. It’s made with a tough titanium case and a strong sapphire crystal display, while the standard model Apple Watch only has an aluminum case. This helps it hold up against scratches as well as withstand the elements you might face as a runner, climber, or swimmer. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is water resistant, able to be submerged under water up to 100 meters.
Runners, swimmers, cyclists, and other athletes can make use of the precision dual-frequency GPS which can provide accurate metrics during your workouts for pace and distance. The heart rate monitor can help you to run custom workouts where your heart rate zones are of concern.
The heart rate monitor and other health tracking features can even work for you outside of your workouts to provide you with your wellness status throughout the day. You can receive notifications if the watch ever detects signs of possible hypertension, sleep apnea, or unusually high or low heart rate. You can also track a daily sleep score and take readings of your blood oxygen level via the Vitals app.
The screen on the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is nice and bright so you can view the information you need to, even when running outside on a bright, sunny day.
Battery life is adequate. I’ll be honest, this is where smart watches like those from Samsung and Apple fall short compared to dedicated fitness watches like that of Garmin. Here you’ll only get between 48 and 72 hours of battery life on a single charge. But as long as you make a habit of charging frequently, this won’t be an issue.
