I'll jump straight in as these deals aren't going to hang around for long: it's nearly Cyber Monday and the end of the Black Friday weekend of sales, but, more importantly, stock levels are rapidly depleting. The US deal I found on the Apple Watch Ultra 1 is litreally the last place you can grab one at a discount - BestBuy is up to full price and Amazon doesn't even have any at all.
With that in mind, here's an executive summary: The Ultra 2 has a much brighter screen that's easier to read and upgraded internals. The choice really boils down to whether you want something that'll handle future updates better - right now the two watches are about on par in what they do, and the Ultra 1 is much cheaper right now.
