It’s not a deal if you have to pay Best Buy ahead of time to use a membership.

Serious question. Why do users buy the Ultra version as opposed to the standard Watch? Thanks!
For me because it’s not much more than the standard stainless steel but I get a much larger display which makes it easier to go use, it’s more rugged as I’ve broken an Apple Watch display before and am active outside a lot with my wife and kids, and the main reason is because the battery is insane and even two years in I never have to worry about it unlike watches in the past which would just die while hiking, swimming, etc. For me it’s so much better. It’s not as dressy or sleek but that works for me because I’m a pretty casual guy and work from home running my company. The Ultra is all about function over form, even though it doesn’t look bad.

If you wait for a bit, I predict that you can save more than $50.

They're also offering $50 less on a trade in from a G1 watch ultra, so it's a wash if you have a trade in.

Battery and sapphire display. Standard will scratch (if you don't get SS version) and battery is really bad.

It's one year now not 2. Already pre-ordered from Best Buy. Only 12 months was offered.
It should qualify, but the watch has to be at least $799 so only the Natural Milanese Loop one seems to qualify right now.
