Apple Watch pricing: updated buying guide

Buying an Apple Watch today is no longer the same as it was in 2015 when it came out on the market. And not because it has many more functions and are better devices, which too, but because now there are more models to choose from and therefore we also find different price ranges. Here we tell you everything about the current price of Apple Watch, including those of models already discontinued.

What does the price of this smartwatch depend on?

Apple Watch pricing

The first factor why an Apple Watch can cost more or less money is its generation. Of course, the newer models are more expensive than the previous ones. And although Apple tends to discontinue the previous generation of its watch when it releases a new one, this does not always happen and we can find older versions of the device still on sale in company stores.

Regardless of the generation, within it there are several factors that determine its final price:

  • Case material: watches are usually manufactured with identical internal features, although with different materials. Aluminum, stainless steel, titanium and even ceramic are materials that Apple has used for these watches.
  • Size: the company always offers two sizes of Apple Watch that, although in screen proportions they have been increasing over time, in the end they are practically identical in dimensions and hence the straps are compatible between small and large models. The small ones have sizes of 38, 40 or 41 mm, while the large ones are 42, 44 or 45 mm.
  • Type of strap: although this is in the end an accessory that can be bought separately and exchanged whenever you want, as standard you always have to choose a type of strap and depending on the materials of this, they can increase the final price of the device.
  • Connectivity: the standard of these watches is the GPS version that depends one hundred percent on the iPhone and / or a WiFi connection to function, while there are also LTE versions called GPS + Cellular and that allow you to connect to the internet without the need for the iPhone through a mobile data connection that is contracted especially for him.

Apple Watch Series 3: available from 219 euros

The cheapest Apple watch has been on the market for a few years now and hence the 369 euros it cost at its launch in 2017 have been reduced. It is also noteworthy that different materials or LTE version are no longer offered, so their prices are such that:

  • 38mm size:
    • Aluminum case:
      • Sport strap: 219 euros
  • 42mm size:
    • Aluminum case:
      • Sport strap: 249 euros

As we already told you, it is a watch that has been on the market for several years and that is why it has no more materials or strap options than it did in its day. This derives at the end of Apple’s sales strategy, since in addition to saving manufacturing costs, it ensures that this device does not eclipse the other two it offers in its catalog.

Previous Apple Watch Models

We already have a considerable list of Apple Watch that are no longer officially sold. This does not mean that they cannot be bought in other stores, but since they are not manufactured or sold by Apple, it is more difficult to find them or have a fixed price for them.

What previous generations cost

As we told you before, there is no set price for those Apple Watch units that remain on the market. Therefore we cannot give a figure of its current value, but we can observe the price they had from the beginning, serving as a reference for the cost of the models that are currently sold.

* The first-generation Apple Watch was introduced in 2014 and released in 2015 without a nickname. With the launch of the Series 2 in 2016, the company rebranded the previous one as “Series 1” lowering its price and adding a new processor. And although it is essentially the same team, we have separated it as if it were different generations.

Where to buy Apple Watch already discontinued

At this point, you are probably wondering how to buy one of those Apple Watch already discontinued. First, to tell you that the more recent the device is, the more chances you will have of finding a store that has stock. Older models tend to be practically out of stock and only have the ability to buy them second-hand.

  • Normal stores: whether physical or online, there are many stores that continue to sell previous versions of the Apple Watch. See for example Amazon , who still have stock of devices such as Series 5 and Series 6.
  • Second-hand stores: there are establishments specialized in buying and selling second-hand items, including Apple Watch. Cash Converters or CeX are an example of this.
  • Individuals: apart from specialized stores, the second-hand market of individuals is usually also an option to find used Watches. Used Apples, Wallapop or Vibbo are some of the best known platforms for this.
