Amazon Takes $49 Off Apple Watch Ultra 2 in Black, Available From $749.99

[aneftp]

My neighbor is selling his Ultra 2 from last year. I asked him why exactly, expecting him to say it's too big, which would be a good reason true because he actually does have small wrists like I do. But no, he wants the new color. I couldn't believe it. And you'd think the guy's rich but he works at the local supermarket and has 2 children. I just stood there frozen when he told me that.

People enjoy certain things in life. Some people spend money on alcohol going out

Let’s say a typical person orders a total of 6 drinks per month (reasonable amount) at a cost of $12 a drink That’s $72 a month drinking out/drinking while ordering alcohol at restaurants.

That’s $864/year. Enough to buy a new ultra watch each year.

Not a chance. Tons and tons of feedback on Reddit and other forums about the black scratching very easily. Good luck to those who purchased.

Thanks for that note! I have been waiting for them to properly place the crown (centered with buttons on each side) but have been tempted by on-board Siri and now...blackness! Now, I can wait quietly 😶

And here I am disappointed. I really liked the color. lol.

 

[darthaddie]

do you have photos to share? cause I find that really hard to believe ... hd a SB S4 that went thru a lot and the case was pristine after over 3 years

Not really. I already returned it. You can find photos on Reddit groups though of similar issues.

Seriously thank you for this post. I’ve been wondering how the black coating would hold up. The beauty of the natural titanium Ultra is that it doesn’t easily scratch.

My friend has an ultra 2 bought last year. Still looks pristine and he is not a careful user. Sad cause I liked the black so much

Not tons at all. In fact some who thought they scratched it have realised it was just transfer from the other material and wiped off.

Got mine. Slight brush against wood and it scratched. Retuned it promptly. The black coating goes against the ruggedness ultra stands for.

So the black isn’t throughout obviously.

Do people complain about the DLC Ti Garmin Fenix/Tactix not being rugged?

That is just foolishness. He could buy a Pitaka bumper in carbon fiber black and call it a day. Plus it’s missing the oxygen sensor. What an idiot.

Rich people spend like they're poor. Poor people spend like they're rich.

Pretty true. Rich people can be and are cheap as ****. I’ve been around my fair share to see it and it’s really something. Worse tippers ever as well.

How does the watch cost twice as much as an iPad?

 

[svish]

Good to see the discount on the new colour.

 

[sc00ba]

$1400 for this model with that band in Australia, what a joke.

Cue the "Stop being poor anon, that's just Apple's pricing" defenders🙄.

Amazing how the watch just came out three days ago and its already two years old? Hows that magic work?

Nobody wants a 2 year old watch

Why not? If it does the job, then it don't matter. My fitbit watch is over 2 years old.

that watch above looks nice, very chunky, but no way would i pay that much for a watch.

Buying an ultra isn’t even worth judging. Tell us how he does basic things in life. Does he take lunch/dinner to work? Does he go out drinking multiple times a week. I know a guy who judges other people but blows up 200 bucks on eating and drinking out per week. Dude could buy an ultra and not blink if he is disciplined in other areas of life.

Rich people also don't tell everyone they're rich.

The millionaire next door generation cliches are long gone. I know plenty of rich people who just show how rich they are and don’t give a damn what others feel. I grew up listening and reading Millionaire next door, but you will end up poorer if you go by that now. Many of things what made people rich have flippped.

 

[2low_tech]

Discounts already?

 

[iamgalt]

Just my opinion, but if you can’t afford a $750 watch, something tells me you can’t really afford a $700 watch.

Amazon has the titanium Ultra 2 for $689 now. I picked one up to replace my Series 8 right after the Apple event (it was also delivered next day lol). The look and battery life are so much better. I should have bought one earlier.

Not based on what I have seen. Definitely scratches.
