What to check on your Apple Watch

  1. Find the series and case size

    Match the exact Apple Watch Series, SE or Ultra model and its case size. Check the model information in the Watch app or on the watch rather than identifying it by the band.

  2. Confirm connectivity and case

    Choose GPS or GPS + Cellular and the matching case material where offered. These details distinguish configurations within the same watch generation.

  3. Check condition and function

    Look over the display, case, Digital Crown, side button and charging function. Use the condition questions for your model to find out whether an offer is available.

How to sell your Apple Watch

Start with an estimate. Prepare your device only when you are ready to send it in.

  1. Find your device

    Find your exact Apple Watch in the tool above and match its configuration before answering the condition questions.

  2. Check its condition

    Answer the device questions accurately to see your estimated trade-in value.

  3. Submit and ship

    Review your offer and payout options. Follow the shipping instructions and use the prepaid label provided for your mail-in offer.

  4. Inspection and payment

    We inspect your device after it arrives. Payment follows inspection; your online estimate is not a completed payout.

Before you ship your Apple Watch

Prepare your device after reviewing your offer and shipping instructions. You do not need to erase it to check its value.

  1. Back up and unpair

    When ready to ship, preserve your watch data and unpair the Apple Watch from your iPhone. Follow the prompts to remove it from your account.

  2. Remove Activation Lock

    Make sure the watch is no longer linked to your Apple Account or Find My. If you cannot remove the lock, contact Plug before shipping.

  3. Erase and manage cellular service

    Confirm personal data has been erased. For a cellular watch, remove the plan and contact your carrier about transferring or cancelling service as needed.

  4. Pack and label securely

    Follow your offer’s packing instructions. Use a sturdy box and cushioning, attach the provided shipping label and keep your drop-off receipt.

Apple Watch trade-in questions

How much is my Apple Watch worth?

Series, case size, material, connectivity and condition influence the estimate. Select your exact configuration in the tool to see current options. The final value follows inspection.

Does GPS or cellular connectivity matter?

Yes, choose the version you own. A GPS + Cellular watch remains that model even if you have never activated a cellular plan.

Do I need to unpair my Apple Watch?

Not to get an estimate. Before shipping, back up and unpair it from your iPhone, remove Activation Lock and erase your personal data. Erasing the watch alone may leave Activation Lock enabled.

Should I include my band and charger?

Use the accessory instructions provided with your offer. Contact Plug before sending additional items if you are unsure what to include.

Is shipping free?

The prepaid shipping label provided for your mail-in offer is free to use. Pack your device securely and follow the carrier and drop-off instructions supplied with your label.

How can I receive my payout?

Choose Store Credit or select Choose Later to pick a digital payout method after inspection. Available options are shown in your offer and may include bank transfer, PayPal, Venmo, instant debit transfer and Cash App.

Do I have to buy a replacement device?

No. You can submit a buyback offer without placing a shopping order. If you choose Store Credit, you can use that credit toward a purchase.

When will I be paid?

Payment follows receipt and inspection of your device. Submitting an online offer does not trigger payment. Contact Plug if you need help with the status of your offer.
