Amazon, Walmart Cut Apple Watch Ultra 4 to $799.99 and Discount Games Up to $12

Q: What hidden catch lies behind the rare, sudden discount on Apple's newly AI-equipped Watch Ultra 4 this weekend?

The “catch” is that the eye-catching Apple Watch Ultra 4 markdown is not a blanket price cut on the whole lineup. It applies only to specific case-and-band combinations, and in this roundup the $799.99 offer is for the GPS + Cellular 49mm model with a Black Titanium case and Titanium Milanese Loop. That matters because the Milanese Loop version carries a higher list price than the standard Ultra 4 configurations. So the reported $100 discount is real for that premium bundle, but it does not mean every Ultra 4 is suddenly $100 cheaper than Apple’s normal $799 starting price. In fact, Apple’s base U.S. starting price for the Ultra 4 remains $799. There is another practical wrinkle: some of the watch’s headline AI features are not fully available out of the box. Apple Intelligence and Siri AI support depend on watchOS 27, supported language and region settings, and some Audio Intelligence tools such as Live Rewind and Siri Recap are arriving later in beta, with feature availability varying by market. So the hidden catch is twofold: the discount is configuration-specific rather than universal, and some of the new AI selling points are still rolling out or limited by region and software support.
