• What is my Apple Watch worth?

  The true value of an Apple Watch depends on its condition and specifications like capacity, screensize, frame type, etc. The most important factor will be the cosmetic and operational condition of your device. Of course, the better the condition the more money in your pocket, but the companies we search will even purchase broken devices!

  Watch values depreciate by around 40% over one year, but that rate jumps to 75% over three years. At the same time, values for old watch models drop by 15% or more after a new flagship is released. That means you should sell as soon as possible to get the most money for your used watch.

  Sending your Apple Watch to a Flipsy Trust Verified online buyback store is convenient since you’ll get a free printable shipping label and speed payments that are sent within 3 days of delivery.
