If you’ve been followingApple‘s totally unexpectedlegal issues of the last couple of monthsconcerning the blood oxygen monitoring of probably thebest smartwatchesin the world right now, you may already know that the company itself has recently started to sellSeries 9 and Ultra 2 models with the contested pulse oximeter disabled.
Even better, those exact retailers are currently charging a cool 70 bucks less than usual for such an unhampered Apple Watch Ultra 2 unit. If you’re the proud owner of an iPhone that you want to pair with an outdoor-friendly smartwatch therefore, now is probably the time to pull the trigger… as long as you’re not very picky about the color and size of your new wearable’s band.
Keep in mind that the rugged Apple Watch Ultra 2 normally costs $799, which kind of makes this new price cut feel a lot less momentous than it might seem at first glance. But while we’ve seen the device more steeply discounted in the past, there’s no guarantee that will happen again in the near future, and if Best Buy and Amazon run out of inventory, they’ll need to start selling units without working blood oxygen technology.
That will still leave you with a bunch of other super-advanced sensors and potentially life-saving health tools, as well as a Retina display like no other on the market today, not to mention stellar battery life (by normal Apple Watch standards), but why make any compromises when… you don’t really have to?
