Apple Watch Trade In

Before the event, Apple had only enabled the trade-in option for Apple Watch Series 4 and lower. Since the preorders for the Apple Watch Series 6 and SE are already live, the tech giant has given an option for the users to trade their hardware and get a maximum $240 off their Apple Series 6. The SE version of Apple Watch has been introduced at $279, the trade-in option allows users to get a hefty discount over their upgrade.

On the other hand, Apple Watch Series 6, which starts at $399 with an aluminium case can also be bought in the trade-in option which makes it convenient for the user to simply upgrade their previous generation Apple Wath. Users with older Apple Watch variants need not worry about the trade-in not being available for them. But it comes with considerably fewer discounts depending on the Watch's series.

Users with Apple Series 5 can avail up to $240 with trade-in. Users with Apple Watch Series 4 and 3 can avail up to $155 and $100 respectively.
