Sell the Apple Watch you stopped wearing in March.
Series, Ultra or SE. Any generation, any size, any state of strap. A real offer in about a minute.
The Apple Watch has the shortest gap of any Apple product between being worn daily and living in a drawer. Usually it is the strap that goes first, or a fitness habit that quietly ends, and then it sits there uncharged for a year while its value drains away.
The good news is that the Ultra models hold their value remarkably well. They are expensive new, they are genuinely durable, and the people buying them used are buying them to actually use, which supports the price in a way that fashion-driven demand does not.
The less good news is that older aluminium Series watches with a degraded battery are among the least valuable things Apple makes. We will still quote you, and the offer will be honest rather than flattering.
The Apple Watch models we buy.
Working or faulty, any size, strap or no strap. Not sure which one you have? The Watch app on your iPhone shows it under General, About.
Apple Watch Ultra
Ultra, Ultra 2 or Ultra 3, 49mm
Apple Watch Series
Series 11 back to Series 4, 38mm to 46mm
Apple Watch SE
SE 3, SE 2 or the original SE
Stainless steel and titanium
Priced separately from aluminium
Upgrading? Put it towards the new one.
The honest split is this: if you swim, cycle or hike, the Ultra's battery life changes how you use it. If you mostly want notifications and a step count, a current SE does that for a fraction of the money.
Take the payout as EpicDeals.co.za credit instead of cash and we add 12% on top. That is us paying you for not needing the money in your account today, and it costs you nothing if you were going to spend it here anyway.
The 12% is only worth taking if you were going to spend it. If you need the cash, take the cash, and we will not make the voucher hard to refuse.
What affects your offer.
Case material, which is the biggest single factor
Stainless steel and titanium cases are worth substantially more than the aluminium version of the same watch and same generation. If you are not sure which you have, check the back of the case or the original box.
Battery health, which is brutal on a watch
A watch battery is tiny and cycles hard, so it degrades faster than a phone's. Below 80% is where it stops lasting a full day and stops being a daily watch to a buyer. Check under Settings, Battery, Battery Health.
Cellular versus GPS-only
A cellular model is worth more, even though plenty of owners never activated the feature. Look for the red dot on the digital crown, or the small text on the back.
The screen, and its scratches
A watch face takes knocks that a phone never does, because it is on your wrist near doorframes. Aluminium models use Ion-X glass, which scratches far more readily than the sapphire on the steel and titanium versions.
We still buy it with these.
Choose the closest condition in the calculator and mention anything that is wrong. Your offer already takes it into account.
- Cracked or heavily scratched screen
- Battery that no longer lasts a day
- Swollen battery lifting the screen away from the case
- Digital crown stiff, gritty or not turning
- Screen lifting or separating from the case
- Charging intermittently or not at all
- Will not switch on
