Sell or trade in your Apple Watch SE 2 in Vienna
The second-generation SE arrived in 2022 and was for years the best-selling entry-level watch, especially for children and as a first watch. Its back is a nylon composite instead of ceramic, and the display switches off when you lower your arm. Since the SE 3 its price is dropping noticeably, so selling now pays more than later.
What the Apple Watch SE 2 still brings
| Like new, no scratches | up to 60 EUR |
| Good, light signs of use | up to 50 EUR |
| Visible wear | up to 35 EUR |
| Faulty, never opened | from 20 EUR |
The Apple Watch SE (2nd generation) with GPS brings up to 60 € with us in like-new condition, up to 50 € with light wear and up to 35 € with visible scratches. Faulty but never opened, we pay from 20 €. In like-new condition the Cellular version adds 35 €, up to 95 € and more than half the GPS price on top; with light or visible wear and when faulty, that premium shrinks in proportion. On the SE 2, scratches in the glass and a tired battery are what push the price down most.

Even a broken SE 2 still brings money
If the glass of your SE 2 is cracked, the touchscreen no longer responds or the battery does not last a few hours, that does not make it worthless. As long as it was never opened by a third-party shop, we buy it as faulty, from 20 € and more with Cellular. Select the fault in the calculator above.
Cellular, size, battery: price factors of the SE 2
The second-generation SE only comes in aluminium. Size does not matter, 40 and 44 mm bring the same. Cellular makes a big difference: a 35 € premium like new, still 30 € with light wear and 25 € with visible scratches. After three years the battery counts most; read its state on the watch under Settings › Battery › Battery Health. You do not need to send band or charging cable, they add nothing.
