If you're in the market for a new smartwatch, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 remains the best rugged option for those in the Apple ecosystem. Our editors still think the Apple Watch Series 10 is the best option for most people, but those who prefer the larger model have a new option, the Ultra 2. It also makes for an impressive gift this holiday season if you're feeling ultra generous.

We've seen quite a few Apple Watch Ultra deals on various colors and finishes. Right now, the 49mm Ultra 2 with the titanium case and indigo alpine loop is down to $729. We know, that's still pretty expensive. But Best Buy is also throwing in four free months of Apple Fitness Plus and three free months of Apple Music when you purchase this watch.

There's a lot to like about the Apple Watch Ultra 2, that's for sure. It has a huge 49mm display and high-precision GPS for use when you're out in the wilderness or just want reliable data for your workouts. The extra-long battery life ensures you get multiple days from a single charge, and the rugged titanium case is strong yet light, perfect for your next adventure. You also get access to all the usual features, including fitness and activity tracking, heart-rate monitoring and more.
