Deals: Apple Watch Ultra 3 $65 off, Ultra 2 $150 off, M3 iPad Air $150 off, Apple clear iPhone 17/Pro cases, more

Alongside the new AirPods Pro 3 and Apple Watch Series 11, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 arrived this month and today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is starting off with a chance to save on one. More specifically we have open-box deals with full Apple warranties on both the Natural and Black Ultra 3 models at $65 off – alongside a solid $150 price drop on the black Apple Watch Ultra 2. On top of that we are still tracking the most affordable M3 iPad Air models at $150 off to match the best prices we have tracked to date, alongside launch deals on Apple’s official iPhone 17/Pro/Max and iPhone Air Clear cases, the silicone models, and new TechWoven treatments. All of that and more awaits below.

  • Apple Watch Series 11 42mm $399
  • Apple Watch Series 11 46mm $429
  • Apple Watch Ultra 3 $799

  • Apple Watch SE 3 40mm $249
  • Apple Watch SE 3 44mm $279

Land the black Apple Watch Ultra 2 at $150 less than the new Ultra 3 (Matching Amazon low)

The new Apple Watch Ultra 3 has arrived starting at the same $799 as the Ultra 2. It does have some enhancements, largely in the display size, always-on action, satellite/5G connectivity, and battery life departments, but the Ultra 2 is still a wonderful wrist computer that looks nearly the same – and you can score one for $150 less at Amazon right now.

We spotted a listing on Amazon that has the black Apple Watch Ultra 2 with a medium-sized Dark Green Alpine Loop down at $649 shipped. That’s $150 off its original price and $150 less than the new Ultra 3. And let’s keep in mind it took quite a while before we saw Ultra 2 models at $150 off. There were plenty of $70 and $100 price drops in the first year of the latest Ultra 2 black model, but it wasn’t until Prime Day 2025 in July that we saw straight $150 price cuts across the Ultra 2 lineup.

We certainly wouldn’t blame anyone for holding on to whatever they have now and waiting for a deep deal on Ultra 3. That might not end up being all that deep into its lifecycle after all – Apple could very well skip next year like it did with Ultra 2 and keep the new model on a two year refresh cycle.

But if the new enhancements on the Ultra 3 aren’t particularly exciting to you, landing the latest black Ultra 2 at $150 is quite a notable price and significantly less than the new model at full price.

We have detailed the differences between the Ultra 2 and Ultra 3 right here for you – slightly larger display, 42 hours of battery life compared to 36, enhanced satellite and 5G cellular connectivity, and a series of health capabilities you will also get on Ultra 2 are the short form takeaways.

Apple Watch Ultra 3 with black Alpine Loop now down at $735 in Best Buy open-box condition (1-yr. warranty)

Apple’s most affordable full-size 2025 model M3 iPad Air is sitting down at the Amazon low ($150 off)

While all the focus is on the new AirPods Pro 3 and latest Apple Watch models, not to mention all of the iPhone 17 accessories, we wanted to shine a light on the ongoing deal that has Apple most affordable 13-inch M3 iPad Air models back down at Amazon all-time low pricing with $150 in savings.

Amazon is offering the latest 2025 model M3 iPad Airin the 13-inch form-factor down at $649 shippedon the base storage tier. This includes all four colors and delivers a deal on par with the best we have tracked to date.

This is a regularly $799 configuration that has largely bounced between $699 and as much as $769 through most of the year. After dropping to $679 for the July Prime Day, it has since started to land at all-time low pricing with the same $150 in savings we have here today.

Much of the same applies to the base model 11-inch model that is now sitting down at $449 shipped – that’s $150 off and matching the Amazon all-time low as well.

We have seen some of the upgraded models and more pricey Wi-Fi + Cell variants with a few wild price drops here and there, but the base model M3 iPad Air still remains the most affordable M series tablets and none of the upgraded configs have dropped down nearly as low as the options we have here today.
