Apple Watch holds value surprisingly well — but where you sell it makes a big difference. Apple Trade-In typically pays 30–50% below what you can get selling directly. Here's what each model is worth in 2026, and your best options for selling.
Apple Watch Values in 2026
Resale values vary significantly by series, size, material, and condition. Here's a rough guide based on current market prices:
- Apple Watch Ultra 2 (49mm) — $350–$520 in good condition
- Apple Watch Series 10 (46mm) — $250–$380 good condition
- Apple Watch Series 9 (45mm) — $180–$280 good condition
- Apple Watch Series 8 (45mm) — $120–$200 good condition
- Apple Watch SE 2 (44mm) — $90–$150 good condition
- Apple Watch Series 7 and older — $50–$120 depending on condition
Cracked or non-functional Watches still have value — typically 30–60% of working price depending on the fault.
Best Places to Sell Your Apple Watch
eBay — highest prices, but takes time and 12–15% in fees. Best for Ultra and high-end Series 9/10 in excellent condition.
Swappa — lower fees than eBay, buyers are vetted. Good for mid-range models.
Apple Trade-In — convenient but pays the least. Use it only if you're buying a new Apple device and want the discount.
Local (Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist) — no fees, cash in hand, but requires meeting strangers and more effort.
Before You Sell
- Remove your Apple Watch from your Apple ID: iPhone → Watch app → General → Reset → Erase Apple Watch Content and Settings
- Remove Activation Lock: go to icloud.com → Find My → remove the device
- Unpair from your iPhone — this backs up the Watch automatically
