The Apple Watch Ultra 2 has only been around for a few weeks but you can already get at a pretty big discount. You can thank the Black Friday fun for that, with the Apple Watch Ultra 2 now yours for just $730 so long as you clip the on-page coupon.

This Black Friday Apple Watch deal might not stick around for long of course, with current sales likely to run for just a few days before they’re gone for good. The good news: This deal is available on multiple different band combinations so be sure to have your preferred one selected before you add your new watch to your cart.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is the latest and greatest wearable that Apple has to offer and it comes with a huge 49mm display and high-recision GPS for use when you’re out in the wilderness or just want reliable data for your workouts. The extra-long battery life ensures you get multiple days from a single charge, and the rugged titanium case is strong yet light, perfect for wearing on your next adventure. This might be the rugged Apple Watch but you still get access to all the usual Apple Watch goodness including fitness and activity tracking, heart rate monitoring, and more.

Not sure that an Apple Watch Ultra 2 is for you? There are plenty of other Amazon Black Friday deals to be had if you’d rather treat yourself to something different this holiday season.

Windows 11 is probably one of the most popular operating systems around, but grabbing from Microsoft will set you back a massive $200. That’s a lot of money, especially if you want to set up more than one device. Thankfully, you can save on Windows 11 if you know where to look, and with Black Friday sales now underway, it’s a great time to be looking. Right now at StackSocial you can get a Windows 11 Pro license for just $23, a record low price for the OS.

This is a great price, but it’s important to note that not every computer out there is able to run Windows 11, so before you buy it, you’re going to want to ensure that your computer will meet the requirements for the operating system. Additionally, the listing says that if you have a PC that’s already running Windows 10, and Windows Update doesn’t let you install the free Windows 11 upgrade, your computer won’t be compatible with this version either.

The activation key that’s provided following your purchase can be used to install and activate Windows 11 Pro on one computer. To be clear, purchases like this are generally intended for advanced users — those who are building a new computer or who want to dual-boot an existing computer with a second OS. If you’re doing that, you will need a secondary PC to access and download the files, so be sure you can access everything from another computer in your home or you have a friend’s machine that you can use temporarily. You’ll also want to have a USB thumb drive on hand to transfer the file, but with plenty of Amazon Black Friday deals going on right now you won’t have a problem finding an affordable one.

Are Black Friday deals under $25 worth buying?

While it’s true that you get what you pay for when it comes to Black Friday deals under $25, we’ve cultivated the ones that are worth your money. It’s a great time to stock up on home goods and essentials for the coming holiday season guests and an even better time to look for inexpensive stocking stuffers.

What are the best Black Friday deals under $25?

As mentioned above, there are many products that usually sell for more than $25 that go under that mark during Black Friday sales. Things like streaming media players, smart home devices, toys and games. These represent great value for money when they drop below $25, and make for excellent holiday gifts.

Right now, various Fire TV Sticks are under $25 in Amazon’s Black Friday sale, as are select Roku Black Friday deals, for example. We’d also recommend loading up on consumable items like batteries, hygiene products and stationery. Not only is it frustrating to find yourself running low on these kinds of things, but it makes sense to stockpile them while prices are at their best.

It’s a two-team race in the NFC West between the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks. The Niners lead the division at 7-3, with the Seahawks a game back at 6-4.

The two teams meet on Thanksgiving night in Seattle. It’s the first matchup between the two West Coast rivals before a rematch less than three weeks later in San Francisco.

The 49ers have gotten back on track after a three-game skid. They’ve won their last two games behind steadier play of quarterback Brock Purdy and the return of wideout Deebo Samuel.

Defensive end Chase Young has made an immediate impact after joining the team at the trade deadline, but the defense will be without All-Pro safety Talanoa Hufanga, who will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL.

For the Seahawks, quarterback Geno Smith was knocked out of last week’s game with an elbow injury, but the team thinks he’ll be able to suit up on Thursday.

The 49ers-Seahawks game kicks off in Seattle at 5:20 p.m. PT (8:20 p.m. ET) and will be shown nationally on NBC.

49ers vs. Seahawks: When and where?

For Week 12 of the NFL season, the 49ers host the Seahawks at 5:20 p.m. PT (8:20 p.m. ET) on Thanksgiving (Thursday, Nov. 23). The game is set to take place at Lumen Field in Seattle, home of the Seahawks.

How to watch, livestream 49ers vs. Seahawks

NBC is carrying this match nationwide, so in addition to cable, satellite and an over-the-air antenna — which lets you watch your local NBC station for free — you can also stream the game live using a streaming service. The least expensive is Peacock Premium at $6 per month. Most live TV streaming services, including YouTube TV and Hulu Plus Live TV, also carry your local NBC station (see below), but they’re a lot more expensive.

You can also subscribe to NFL Plus, the NFL’s own streaming service at $7 per month, but a stream for this Turkey Day game is limited to just watching on a phone or tablet (not a TV).

All the live TV streaming services above offer free trials, allow you to cancel anytime and require a solid internet connection. Looking for more information? Check out our live TV streaming services guide.
