Guide prices for GPS with aluminium case, 41 or 45 mm. Non-binding estimate; the exact amount is set after our inspection.
Selling a Series 8 with a fault
If the glass of your Series 8 is cracked, the display only responds in places or the watch dies after a few hours, we still buy it. As long as it was never opened by another repair shop, we pay the faulty price from 20 €. That beats the bin, and the battery does not end up in household waste.
What determines the price of a Series 8
The Series 8 came in aluminium and in stainless steel with sapphire glass. Our table applies to aluminium; a stainless steel watch is valued after inspection. Size does not matter, 41 and 45 mm bring the same. Cellular raises the amount, by 15 € on a like-new watch and by less with heavier wear. After three years the battery counts most: you find its state on the watch under Settings › Battery › Battery Health. You do not need to send band or charging cable.

Yes, as long as it works and is not badly scratched, an Apple Watch Series 8 still brings up to 70 €. With every new model the amount keeps dropping, though. If you no longer wear it, now is a better time than a year from now.

You recognise the Cellular version of the Apple Watch Series 8 by the red ring on the crown. Remove the plan when you unpair it before sending.
Do you buy a stainless steel Apple Watch Series 8?
Yes. The table applies to the aluminium version; we value an Apple Watch Series 8 in stainless steel with sapphire glass after the inspection. Steel shows fine scratches on the polished surfaces, while the sapphire glass usually stays flawless.
Is a 45 mm Apple Watch Series 8 worth more than a 41 mm?
Not with us, both sizes of the Apple Watch Series 8 bring the same amount. The large watch hardly fetches more second-hand. Cellular, material and the state of glass, case and battery are what count.
How much does an old battery lower the price of my Apple Watch Series 8?
On a Series 8 from 2022, battery health is often between 80 and 90 percent, which is normal and costs nothing. If it is well below 80 percent and the watch no longer lasts a day, that goes into the checked offer. We tell you how much beforehand.
Can I sell an Apple Watch Series 8 with cracked glass?
Yes, as faulty from 20 €, a little more with Cellular, as long as the Apple Watch Series 8 was never opened. A cracked glass is no reason for us to say no. Select it in the calculator and the adjusted value appears immediately.
What is the easiest way to sell my used Apple Watch Series 8?
With us: work out the value online, get a free label by email, drop the watch at the post office, receive the money around 48 hours after the inspection. No buyer to find, no photos, no haggling. For a used Series 8 that saves a lot of time for little difference in amount.
Do I have to pay to ship my Apple Watch Series 8?
No, shipping to us is free and insured. You get the label by email and drop the Apple Watch Series 8 at the nearest post office. Only if you decline our checked offer does the return cost 10 €.
What happens to my Apple Watch Series 8 if I refuse the price?
We send it back to you and charge 10 € for return shipping. Beforehand you get a clear explanation of why the checked price differs from the estimate, for example because of a weaker battery or a scratch in the glass.
How do I unpair the Apple Watch Series 8 without the old iPhone?
Then remove the watch via icloud.com: sign in with your Apple Account, open Find My, select the Series 8 and remove it from the account. Then reset it on the watch under Settings › General › Reset. Only then is Activation Lock gone.
When is my Apple Watch Series 8 paid out?
Around 48 hours after the inspection in our workshop, by PayPal or bank transfer. We do not pay cash; every purchase runs on a written contract. That way it stays clear later which watch was sold at which price.
Does Apple give cash for the Apple Watch Series 8 at trade-in?
No, Apple gives credit towards a purchase or an Apple Gift Card for the Series 8, not cash. The credit may be above our amount, but it is tied to Apple. With us you get money for the Series 8 by PayPal or bank transfer.
Should I add the band and charger of my Apple Watch Series 8?
Not necessary. Band, charging cable and box add nothing to the Series 8 price. We buy the watch without any accessories. You can keep using the band on a newer watch of the matching size.
Can the calculator price of my Apple Watch Series 8 still change?
Only if our technician finds something during the inspection that you did not mention. Then you get a new offer and decide for yourself. If your answers about the Series 8 are accurate, it usually stays at the estimated value.
