Trade in Apple Watch

Hello. I’m looking for the best advice to buy a new series 3 Apple Watch with cellular. I would like to trade in my series 3 GPS, still in good shape. Does this have to be done through an apple store? Thank you!

Yes both options are possible, although I believe this may vary by country. Quoting Apple in US:


”If you accept the trade-in estimate in the store, we’ll give you instant credit toward a purchase or a gift card you can use anytime.


If you accept the trade-in estimate online when you purchase a new Mac, iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch, we’ll arrange for you to send us your old device. Once we receive it, we’ll inspect it and verify its condition. If everything checks out, we’ll credit your original purchase method and send you any remaining balance on an Apple Gift Card by Email.”
