Apple gear doesn’t come cheap, and upgrading to the latest smartwatch can be a serious splurge. But you can still save by buying an older model or buying refurbished — or, in this case, doing both. Woot is having a sale on refurbished Apple Watches, which means you can snag top-tier tech without breaking the bank.
Prices start at $130. The Apple Watch Series 9 is available from $205 and the first-generation Apple Watch Ultra is $380. The sale runs through Oct. 31 or until stock runs out. Some models have already sold out, so do not hesitate if you want a premium smartwatch for less.
It’s worth noting that these watches are refurbished, which means they show moderate wear and tear like scratches, dents or dings. But Woot has fully tested them. Their batteries can hold at least 80% of their original capacity, so while these devices may not look pristine, they can still handle daily tasks, workouts and manage notifications reliably. Plus, each purchase comes with a two-year limited Woot warranty.
