Best Apple Watch Ultra and Ultra 2 Deals: Save Hundreds When You Trade in Your Old Watch
If you're an iPhone user and want to get the best smartwatch for you, then going with the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is your best bet. It's an absolute powerhouse of a device with an absurd number of features and great performance. It is a little pricey though, with things starting at $799. You can always go for a refurbished model of the original Ultra, but you can also make the most of the best Apple Watch Ultra 2 deals we've found below too. CNET Senior Editor Adam Oram has worked with our dedicated deals team to bring you the very best offers on the Apple Watch Ultra 2.

Apple/CNET Apple Watches can do a lot for those in the Apple ecosystem, although it's important to remember that the company is currently in a big patent dispure with a company called Masimo. The latest on this front was that a federal appeals court upheld the US International Trade Commission's ruling that Apple cannot sell Apple Watches with the blood oxygen sensing feature. Keep that in mind when buying a new one. Read more: Apple Watch Ultra 2 vs. Apple Watch Ultra: A Rugged Watch Comparison Best Apple Watch Ultra 2 deals Released in September 2023, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is Apple's most advanced smartwatch to date. It maintains the overall design of its predecessor while upgrading to the S9 chip for faster speeds and better battery efficiency. Plus, there's a new extra-bright display. Athletes will benefit from more advanced metrics for running and cycling and the extended altitude range is a boon for hikers and scuba divers. The battery life remains the longest in the Apple Watch lineup at 36 hours per charge or up to 72 hours in low-power mode.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 features a titanium case that comes in two finishes -- the natural metallic finish and the new satin black finish.

Best Meta Quest 3 Deals: Enjoy a Free Game and Three Months of a Premium Subscription
The Meta Quest 3 is an excellent bit of tech that makes VR not only reasonably-priced but also good for a lot more people. While the Meta Quest 3S is cheaper, the original model boasts higher specs overall. They're both good, but the Quest 3 is definitely better. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. According to CNET VR expert Scott Stein, the original Meta Quest 3 is still the best headset on the market. Why spend $3,499 on the Apple Vision Pro when it doesn't even have the same library of games available? The Quest 3 boasts some excellent VR and AR capabilities and a growing library of some of the biggest and best games from the technology. Unlike the Meta Quest 2, the Quest 3 embraces both virtual reality and mixed reality experiences in a way that's similar to the Apple Vision Pro and last year's Quest Pro. Better yet, it costs a lot less than both of those devices, which makes it even more appealing. Other improvements over its predecessor include a new Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor, better graphics, a higher-resolution display and improved controllers. With years of experience helping readers score big savings on tech, Adam Oram and other members of CNET's dedicated deals team have scoured the web to bring you the best Quest 3 bargains. We'll continue to update this page with the latest offers, so be sure to check back often. Currently, just about every retailer that sells the Meta Quest 3 is bundling a copy of the Batman: Arkham Shadow game with your purchase, no matter which model you buy: the 512GB Meta Quest 3 or the 128GB or 256GB Meta Quest 3S. Set in the Arkham universe, the game sees Batman take on The Rat King in an adventure that takes about four hours. Most retailers are including a free three-month trial of Meta Quest Plus as well, providing access to two free games per month until the subscription ends. Pick up the Meta Quest 3 headset and you'll also get a free copy of Batman: Arkham Shadow and a free three-month trial of Meta Quest Plus, which is a respectable $140 savings. See at Amazon The 512GB Meta Quest 3 is on sale at Newegg, including three months of Meta Quest Plus and a copy of Batman: Arkham Shadow, for $500.

See at Target Like Amazon, B&H is offering a Meta Quest 3 bundle deal that includes a free copy of Batman: Arkham Shadow with the purchase.
