As long as you can live with a refurbished first generation unit, you may still have some hope.<\/p>\n<p>We&#39;re not talking about just any old refurbishment here, of course, but &#8220;grade A&#8221; devices sold in perfect working order by Woot with a 90-day warranty for the next few days (or until stock exhaustion).  Believe it or not, the Amazon-owned online retailer still promises that you&#39;ll get this bad boy &#8220;by Christmas,&#8221; at least if you order it right now at the new lowest price of $529.99.<\/p>\n<div>That&#39;s about the regular price of a brand new cellular-enabled Apple Watch <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/series\/\"   title=\"Series\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Series<\/a> 9 with a large 45mm case, and while it&#39;s not fair to make such a comparison for at least one obvious reason, it It&#39;s pretty clear that it&#39;s very unusual to be able to buy the Apple Watch Ultra at this type of &#8220;mainstream&#8221; price.<\/div>\n<div>By no means what you&#39;d call a conventional (or consumer) handheld device, the OG Ultra is of course aging (slowly), although it&#39;s almost impossible to tell the difference between it and its slightly more powerful, brighter model and smarter.  successor at first sight.<\/div>\n<div>Aside from withstanding the most extreme outdoor usage scenarios and environments and even handling the occasional drop onto a hard surface, this absolute tank of an iPhone-compatible smartwatch sports an undeniably stunning Retina display while still being able to keep the lights on for up to 36 hours.  hours between charges.<\/div>\n<p>While nowhere near as impressive as what the best Garmin smartwatches are capable of, the battery life leaves the <span>Apple Watch Series 9<\/span> in the dust, this is just one of many main reasons why you should strongly consider buying a cheaper than ever Apple Watch Ultra before it&#39;s too late.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#39;re hurrying, you can opt for one of three ocean strap color options at Woot, each of which is of course paired with a super-rugged titanium case.  If you don&#39;t, you can always go directly to Amazon and pick up a new, unused, unopened, undamaged unit at a significant but much more modest discount of $160 off the list price of $799 .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rugged Apple Watch Ultra is finally about as affordable as a &#8216;mainstream&#8217; smartwatch (with a catch)\u060c Have you dreamed of receiving the Apple Watch Ultra as a Christmas present this year, but know very well that even Santa Claus is on a tight budget these days?
