For fitness enthusiasts or Apple lovers who have been in the market for a new Apple Watch - this Argos deal might be one of best Black Friday offers out there.

Black Friday may be weeks away but Argos has already started chopping prices on tech including the Apple Watch Ultra. The featured-packed watch is currently £649 - knocked down from £799, with Argos saying it's "our lowest price ever".

That's probably the best price available at the time of writing. It comes as the Apple Watch Ultra 2 has just released and the previous model is currently being heavily discounted.

And after the release of the Ultra 2, there were very minimal changes made to the watch. If you have been waiting out for an Apple Watch Ultra, spending slightly less on the older model is probably better value for money.

Our Apple Watch Ultra 2 review praised the small editions to the new device but we noted if you can find an original Watch Ultra at a cheaper price then you won't be disappointed.

The Watch Ultra can cope with freezing temperatures, high altitudes and being taken deeper under the sea. It also gets a larger Digital Crown which helps when trying to spin this useful control wheel with gloves on.

There's even a new set of speakers tucked inside the aerospace-grade titanium shell which can belt out a very loud alarm should find yourself in trouble and in need of some help. The much bigger and brighter Retina display makes it easier to view vital information and the battery life will easily last a couple of days strapped to your wrist.

There's also that new Action Button which takes you straight to your favourite feature on the watch without tapping on endless settings. One of the biggest complaints was the steep price when it was released in September 2022 - but at £649, it's a deal well-worth considering.

Alternatively, there are much more budget friendly smart watches available on Amazon, with one as low as £29.99.
