For the Apple Watch Ultra 4, MacRumors initially reported the Natural model with a Translucent Gray Ocean Band at $699.99, down from $799.00, a new all-time low. 9to5Mac later said Ultra 4 deals were “somewhat unreliable” with configurations “popping in and out of stock”, but highlighted a Black Titanium model with a Burgundy Trail Loop at $699.99. MacRumors subsequently reported both Natural and Black Ultra 4 models at $774.99, a $24 discount described as a new record low. [ 1 , 2 , 5 ]
The Ultra 3, the previous generation, saw a $199 markdown to $599.97 for the Natural color with an Anchor Blue Ocean Band, according to MacRumors. A Black Ultra 3 with a Black Milanese Loop was priced at $699.97, down from $899.00. MacRumors said both models had free delivery estimates around October 9 if ordered that day. [ 5 ]
