Refurbished Apple Watch Ultra (GPS + Cellular) Now Costs $360
This deal on a refurbished Apple Watch Ultra (GPS + Cellular) for $359.99 at Woot (for the next six days or until they sell out) is tempting, especially considering it’ll cost over $445 at Amazon . That’s a major price cut, but the catch is that this is a refurbished device. This means some level of wear and tear is expected, but it has been tested for full functionality with at least 80% battery capacity, and Woot backs it with a two-year limited warranty. If you’re happy with some cosmetic imperfections in exchange for savings, it might be worth purchasing—just note that shipping is only available within the contiguous US. Prime members also get free shipping, while non-members will have to pay $6.
As for the Apple Watch Ultra itself, it is made solidly. Designed for extreme conditions, MIL-STD 810H certification means it can withstand low temperatures, high altitudes, sandstorms and generally harsh conditions. Apple says it will operate in temperatures from -4 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit, which is overkill for most people, but great if you’re into extreme sports or outdoor adventures. This model’s GPS+cellular connectivity is also a big selling point, allowing you to take calls, stream music, or use maps even when you’re away from your phone—a huge plus for runners, hikers, and anyone who hates being tethered to their iPhones. Plus, its 1.9-inch Retina OLED screen is incredibly bright at 2,000 nits, making it very easy to read in direct sunlight.
Apple Watch Ultra runs watchOS 9 and comes with features like heart rate zones, sleep stage tracking, advanced running metrics, and more. It also includes Apple’s safety and health tools, such as car crash detection and nighttime body temperature monitoring. Battery life holds up well, lasting 55 to 57 hours with normal use, even with the Always-On display on, PCMag’s review noted.
If you want one of the most durable Apple Watches ever made at a lower price (and don’t mind some cosmetic flaws), this Woot deal is worth considering before it sells out. But if you prefer a newer model without the bulk of the Ultra, the Series 10 ($359, down from $429) is the best iPhone-compatible smartwatch for most users , and the Watch SE ($249) is the best budget option, according to PCMag’s ” Best Smartwatches of 2025 ” review.
