Amazon gave the new Apple Watch Ultra 2 its very first price drop a day before its official launch, knocking several variants with cellular connectivity down about $20 to $779.99. That's a notable deal for a brand-spanking-new device from a popular brand — but with good timing and a quick app download, you can score an even better one today.

On Wednesday, Sept. 27 at around 11 a.m. ET, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 (Medium, GPS + Cellular) with a titanium case and an Indigo Alpine Loop will go on sale for a mere $729 in the Best Buy mobile app. That's $70 off its $799 MSRP and the Ultra 2's lowest price since it debuted in mid-September. (Note that paid My Best Buy members will save an additional $10.)

For its part, the Ultra 2 is an update to Apple's most powerful and rugged smartwatch that brings a faster new S9 SiP (System in Package), a brighter display, on-device Siri, better location tracking, and a new feature called Double Tap to the table. Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder called the latter its "coolest new feature" in his initial hands-on review: "I have no idea whether it's going to be useful long-term, but it's definitely really cool to do things on the Watch without even touching it ... You can answer or end a call, browse through the Smart Stack, or start and end a timer."

It's otherwise pretty similar to last year's first-generation Apple Watch Ultra, so owners of that model can probably pass on an upgrade. Stay tuned for our full review.
