On the hunt for an Apple Watch Ultra deal this side of Christmas? We’ve got the scoop on where to find the best prices and biggest discounts on Apple’s new, rugged smartwatch ahead of the holidays. 

Revealed alongside the Apple Watch Series 8, the new Ultra offers a more utilitarian Apple Watch experience with several features aimed at elite athletes, hikers and scuba divers. It offers the biggest and brightest Apple Watch display yet with a 49mm titanium case and a flat sapphire front crystal. The device is more durable than ever with MIL-STD-810H-grade certification for altitude, temperature and dust, as well as a higher water-resistance rating, up to EN13319, for diving. There’s also a new customizable Action button that offers instant access to a range of features to suit your needs.

A headline feature of the Apple Watch Ultra for outdoor types is the increased battery life, now up to 36 hours per charge — double that of the regular Apple Watch models — and that can be extended to up to 60 hours with a new low-power setting. 

The Apple Watch Ultra retails at $799 (£849, AU$1,299). We’ll be sure to update the below list with any Apple Watch Ultra deals that crop up.
