Amazon is slashing $110 off of original color new ultra 2. It’s very enticing, basically it’s the same watch as the black version. Will you go with the old color and save $110 or get the new black version at full price?
 
Best Buy currently has the Black U2 on sale, $50 off. Helped me make up my mind.
 
You need to pay for their plus membership to get that $50 discount
Ah yes, sorry should have mentioned. I have the membership from before. It’s not a bad deal actually given free Apple Care+ as long as you at member. As long as you have enough devices it pays off, in addition to other things you buy from them.
 
I love the look of the new black UW2, however i remember having a black stainless steel watch a few years back & other than dark watch bands, no other colours looked right.
I'm personally gonna stick with my original UW1 as i have quite a few different coloured bands that really coordinate well with it.
 
I Think the ultra looks better in natural color rather than black, but it does look good in black. I think the regular apple watch looks better in black, and not that its slimmer, if I wanted a black watch I would go that route myself. I don't know what the battery life it though.

Don't be afraid to buy a lightly used Ultra 1, they are cheap and have all of the health sensors.....just saying....there are some improvements on the 2 but they are not earth shattering.
 
I bet there will be better discounts for Black Friday and the holiday season compared to last year for the Ultra, in either color
