# The Only Apple Watch Memorial Day Deals Worth Your Time
Apple Watch prices drop during Memorial Day sales, with the Series 11, Ultra 2, and other models available at significant discounts. Men's Health tested and vetted these deals to identify which ones actually justify the purchase.
The Apple Watch Series 11 represents the latest standard model, offering everyday fitness tracking and health monitoring at a lower price point during this promotional period. The Ultra 2, the premium option, targets serious athletes with extended battery life, rugged durability, and advanced training features like precise altitude tracking and enhanced water resistance for diving.
Both new and refurbished models appear in these sales. Refurbished units typically offer the best value, as they've been restored to factory condition and come with warranties. Buyers can expect 20-40 percent discounts on popular models during Memorial Day promotions, though specific pricing varies by retailer and watch configuration.
The Series 11 works for general users who want heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, and basic workout logging without premium features. The Ultra 2 suits runners, cyclists, and triathletes who need longer battery endurance (up to 36 hours with extended mode) and sport-specific training metrics.
These watches sync with iPhones to deliver notifications, calls, and messages directly to your wrist. Both models track multiple workout types, monitor blood oxygen levels, and include fall detection for safety. The Ultra 2 adds a larger display and titanium construction for durability during intense training.
Timing matters with holiday sales. Inventory on popular sizes and colors sells out quickly, particularly on refurbished models where stock is limited. Best deals typically last through the end of Memorial Day weekend, though inventory depletes faster than discounts expire.
Check return policies before purchasing refurbished units. Most retailers offer 14-30 day returns, allowing testing before
