Apple Watch Ultra 3 Drops $250 in Early Black Friday Deals as Series 11 Discounts Appear

Summary
$250 off the Apple Watch Ultra 3 leads the latest early Black Friday smartwatch deals, with markdowns also surfacing on the Ultra 4, Ultra 2 and Series 11.
The Ultra 3 deal stands out because the older flagship still offers 5G, satellite connectivity, long battery life and a wide-angle OLED display at a much lower entry price.
Apple's newer models are discounted too: the Ultra 4 is listed at $699.99 from $799, while the Series 11 is being pitched as a cheaper alternative to the latest Series 12.
The offers extend a broader pattern of early holiday markdowns already hitting Apple's iPhones, iPads and AirPods before the main Black Friday and Cyber Monday rush.
With Amazon slashing prices on brand-new flagships like the Galaxy S26 Ultra, are smartphone upgrades stagnating enough to force massive early discounts?
Will holding out for Black Friday yield better deals, or are these Amazon UK price cuts the absolute floor for 2026 premium smartphones?
Considering Apple's usual reluctance to discount, does the iPhone 17's early price drop signal a major shift in the competitive premium smartphone market?
