Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.
Apple Watch Ultra 2 sees rare refurbished discount to $645
eBay’s certified refurbished program is now offering Apple Watch Ultra 2 for $645 in Excellent – Refurbished condition. Just about every style is included in the sale, with Ocean Bands being joined by both Alpine and Trail loops in tons of colors. Everything drops from the usual $799 price tag down to the best discounts we’ve seen at $154 off. Over at Amazon, you can also score a new condition model at $50 off, too. We break down the new addition to Apple’s fitness stable in our launch coverage, too.
Apple Watch Ultra 2 arrives as the second-generation rugged wearable from Apple with a few upgrades over its predecessor. Everything rests within the same elevated case as before, with a more distinct side module that encompasses the usual Digital Crown, as well as a secondary, customizable action button to round out the form-factor adjustments. There is the new S9 chip at the center of the experience, which also happens to power the new pinch gesture recognition tech for one-handed interactions. If hiking, snowboarding, or any other more dedicated workout is on your to-do list for 2024, then Apple Watch Ultra 2 is sure to help monitor your health along the way.
CalDigit’s TS3 Plus Thunderbolt 3 dock is a 9to5 favorite
Amazon is now discounting one of our favorite Thunderbolt 3 docks on the market. The company’s official storefront via Amazon offers the CalDigit TS3 Plus for $225. It has been trending at $250 as of late, but normally sells for $300. Today’s offer is the second-best discount we’ve seen at $75 off, only being beaten by Black Friday pricing last fall. The TS3 Plus has been a staple of 9to5 desk setups for years, including my own. You can learn more about why in our hands-on review.
Packed into its premium metal shell are five USB-A ports, three TB3 outputs, DisplayPort, Gigabit Ethernet, and more. This dock not only expands your Mac’s I/O, but brings 87W USB-C charging to the equation, allowing you to connect to all of these inputs with a single cable while still powering up your MacBook.
Compared to the newer TS4 Dock, you are making some sacrifices with the CalDigit dock on sale above. For many, these trade-offs will be worth the cash, but it’s still worth breaking down just what you’re missing between the two. The biggest adjustment is right in the name, with the newer counterpart arriving with Thunderbolt 4 support as opposed to Thunderbolt 3.
Logitech’s MX Master 3S is the ultimate mouse for Mac
Amazon is now offering the Logitech MX Master 3S Mouse for Mac at $84. Normally fetching $100, you’re looking at $16 in savings and a new all-time low. This is $4 under our previous mention from back in October, as well. Logitech just recently refreshed one of its most popular mice on the market with some new technology. We break everything down in our hands-on review.
This time, Logitech is employing an all-new 8000 DPI sensor and popular ergonomic form-factor, as well as more silent switches to signify the 3S naming scheme. All of the other staples in the Logitech MX Master 3 are also carried over to the new S version, with a build designed to work with Macs that’ll pair with your machine over Bluetooth in order to deliver 70-hour battery life. Alongside USB-C charging, it lives up to the popularity of the MX Master lineup with “ultrafast” MagSpeed scrolling, app-specific customizations, Flow cross-computer control, and much more.
Philips Hue smart lighting sale starts from $16
Woot today is launching its latest chance to score deep discounts on Philips Hue gear thanks to one of its signature certified refurbished sales. Marking down a collection of smart LED bulbs, lamps, lightstrips, and accessories, these are all rare chances to save. All starting from $16, you’ll be able to expand your Siri, Alexa, or Assistant setup with everything from standard light bulbs to individually-addressable RGB lightstrips, filament bulbs, and even outdoor smart lighting. Everything is down to the best prices in month and also comes backed by a 90-day warranty.
Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e Headphones are our favorite AirPods Max killer
Amazon is now offering the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e Headphones for $319. This is down from the usual $399 price tag and now marking a new all-time low at $80 off. We’ve seen these headphones for $50 off quite a few times since launching last year, and now they’re falling lower than we’ve ever seen with an extra $30 in savings. Earlier this fall, I tried out the new Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e headphones, only to deem them the AirPods Max successors I had been waiting for. Now they’re even easier to recommend with today’s discount. Dive into our hands-on review for the full scoop of what to expect
The Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e deliver a more premium take on over-ear headphones that come in one of four styles. Alongside just offering the brand’s signature sound with a unique acoustic system that sports angled drivers, there’s also active noise cancellation. Though after trying these myself, the best part has to be the higher-end build that makes these an absolute delight to wear.
This updated pair of headphones was just revealed a few months back, and now arrives with an upgraded high-performance Digital Signal Processing to go alongside even better sound from a similar driver array. There’s a new Forest Green color, as well. Otherwise, you’re getting the same 40mm drivers, six microphones, aptX Adaptive support, and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity as the original pair.
