Q: Apple Watch Trade In?

I have an Apple watch which is only a few months old, with Apple Care and I am an avid jogger who hates jogging with their bulky phone just for GPS. My question is, will there be a trade in offer for all or Apple Care purchasers? Or do I have to be punished large and fork over more money for not waiting?

    No mention of such. Because we are all users we have no idea what Apple plans are until they announce them.

    Hi

     

    Apple Watch is not presently listed under the Renew program:

    I too bought an Apple watch three or four months ago. It was the 42mm Stainless Steel with Milanese loop so not the cheapest.

     

    Do I expect a trade in? No I don't, I knew an upgrade was imminent but decided to buy at a discounted price.

     

    So yes, I think you should be punished large.

     

    Jog on and pay up or just make do with using your phone too.

     

    I despise people expecting a free ride or discounted upgrade, I have three large Sony TV's in my house of differing ages but never expected preferential discounts when the next model was announced.

     

    If its any consolation the trade in value for an Iphone 6S Plus for an Iphone 7 is insulting.

    I don't believe that Apple's trade-in program supports the Apple Watch.  I am not sure if this is intentional or not.  However, there are third party sites such as BuyBackWorld where you can sell your old Apple watch for cash.

    Not sure where you are located but, Nebraska Furniture Mart has an Apple Watch trade in deal in the Kansas City & Omaha areas.  I presume this is good in Des Moines & Texas also, but no confirmation.  I was offered $96 for my 2 month old 42mm sport.
