Certified Refurbished Apple Watch Models Are Available for $229

Refurbished Apple Watch Models are now available starting at $229.

Similar to all other Apple products, a brand-new Apple Watch is more expensive than other similar products from its competitors. However, you can now save some money by purchasing a certified refurbished Apple Watch Series 1 or Series 2 online or from select retailers.

Although the prices for refurbished Apple Watches start at around $229, they can go up quite fast depending on the model, band and other features you might want, up to $509. Nonetheless, it seems that customers interested in refurbished Apple Watches no matter its price can still save at least 15 percent over the brand-new version.

This marks the first time that Apple has started selling refurbished Apple Watches since they first launched back in early 2015. The refurbished section on Apple’s website includes both the Apple Watch Series 1 and Series 2 with various configurations and prices. However, no original Apple Watch models are included.

The shop includes both the aluminum and stainless steel versions of the Apple Watch, in either 38 or 42 mm size options, which also include sport bands with a wide variety of colors. The aluminum Apple Watch Models start at $229 for the 38mm model, which is $40 cheaper than a new one. The 38mm stainless steel version starts at $469, with $80 off.

If you’re looking to purchase a refurbished Apple Watch, it’s important to know that the stock varies on daily basis depending on what models Apple has on hand. Nonetheless, supplies of select models are known to not last long but the refurbished stock is replenished on a regular basis.

You should also know that all refurbished Apple Watches sold on the company’s website include magnetic charging cables, as well as a one-year warranty, in a similar fashion to a new product. However, only Series 2 models come with a power adapter, unlike the Series 1.

It’s worth noting that the refurbished Apple Watches are also available at third-party retailers, usually at a better price than on Apple’s website. For example, Target offers the cheapest version of the Apple Watch Series 1 for $199, which is $30 cheaper than Apple’s offering
