Sell or trade in your Apple Watch Series 9 in Vienna
The Series 9 from 2023 brought the double tap gesture, which lets you answer calls without touching the display, and a brighter screen than the Series 8. It is reliable and popular second-hand, but two successors are pushing its price down. If your watch lies unused, you get more for it today than next year.
Apple Watch Series 9: prices by condition
| Like new, no scratches | up to 100 EUR |

| Faulty, never opened | from 30 EUR |
We pay up to 100 € for an Apple Watch Series 9 with GPS and aluminium case when it looks like new, up to 80 € with light wear and up to 60 € with visible scratches. Faulty but never opened, it is from 30 €, with Cellular from 40 €. Like new and with light wear, Cellular sits 25 € above GPS; with visible scratches it is 20 €. On the Series 9 the price is mostly pushed down by scratches in the front glass of the aluminium version, which almost always appear after two years without a screen protector.
Guide prices for GPS with aluminium case, 41 or 45 mm. Non-binding estimate; the exact amount is set after our inspection.
Series 9 broken? We still buy it
Cracked glass, a flickering display or a Series 9 that no longer starts after an update: if the watch was never opened by a third-party shop, we buy it as faulty, from 30 €. With Cellular the amount is a little higher. Select the fault in the calculator and see straight away what your Series 9 still brings.
Aluminium or stainless steel: what a Series 9 is worth
The Series 9 came in aluminium with Ion-X glass and in stainless steel with sapphire glass. Our table applies to aluminium; for stainless steel we set the amount after inspection, because the sapphire glass is usually in much better shape. Size, 41 or 45 mm, does not matter. Cellular adds 25 € in the best condition; with visible scratches or a fault that premium shrinks in proportion. Read the battery under Settings › Battery › Battery Health, and keep your band.
How your Series 9 gets to us and the money to you
Choose GPS or Cellular above and answer a few questions; the estimate is there at once. Then you get an insured shipping label and drop the watch free at a post office, wherever you live in Austria. After the inspection in our Vienna workshop we transfer the money around 48 hours later via PayPal or to your account. More watches are on Sell your Apple Watch, all rules in our trade-in terms.
Disconnect the Series 9 from your iPhone
Place the Series 9 next to your iPhone and open the Watch app. Under All Watches tap the info button next to the watch and choose Unpair Apple Watch. Confirm with your Apple Account password; the watch is backed up, erased and Activation Lock is removed. On a Cellular watch you remove the plan. Without this step we cannot buy the watch. Apple shows the process on its support page.

What do I get for a stainless steel Apple Watch Series 9?
The table prices apply to aluminium. We also buy an Apple Watch Series 9 in stainless steel with sapphire glass and set the amount after the inspection. Because sapphire rarely scratches, a steel watch is often in better shape after two years than the aluminium version.
Do you pay more for the 45 mm Apple Watch Series 9?
No, the 45 mm watch brings the same as the 41 mm version. For the Apple Watch Series 9, only Cellular, material and the state of glass, case and battery affect the price.
Can I sell my Apple Watch Series 9 with a scratched screen?
Yes. Fine scratches in the glass that only show in the light count as light wear, and the Series 9 then brings up to 80 €. Deep scratches that get in the way of reading count as visible wear, up to 60 €. A crack counts as a fault, for which we pay from 30 €.
Where can I sell a used Apple Watch Series 9?
With us, for example, online and by post. Work out the value of your used Series 9 on this page, send it with our free label and receive the money around 48 hours after the inspection. A private sale may bring a bit more, but you carry the risk with strangers.
How much do you deduct on the Apple Watch Series 9 for a weak battery?
There is no fixed deduction. Above 80 percent battery health is normal for a Series 9 from 2023. If it is lower and the watch no longer lasts until evening, that goes into the checked offer, and we tell you how much beforehand.
What does shipping my Apple Watch Series 9 to you cost me?
Nothing. You get an insured shipping label by email and drop the Apple Watch Series 9 at a post office, from Carinthia just as from Vienna. Pack it in a small padded box so the glass does not take a knock on the way.
How much does it cost to get my Apple Watch Series 9 back after inspection?
10 € for return shipping. Sending it in stays free; the return only applies if you decline our checked offer. Before you decide, we explain exactly why the amount differs from the estimate.
How do I remove Activation Lock from the Apple Watch Series 9?
By unpairing the watch in the Watch app on your iPhone. If you no longer have the iPhone, sign in on icloud.com and remove the Series 9 from the device list in Find My. We cannot buy a watch that is still linked to an Apple Account.
How do I receive the money for the Apple Watch Series 9 I sold?
By PayPal or bank transfer, around 48 hours after the inspection in our workshop. We deliberately do not pay cash. You get a written contract stating model, condition and amount.
Can you trade in the Apple Watch Series 9 at Apple?
Yes, through Apple Trade In. You get the value as credit towards a purchase or an Apple Gift Card, not as money. The credit may be higher than our amount, but it is tied to Apple. With us you get a bank transfer or PayPal payment for the Series 9.
Do I have to include a band with the Apple Watch Series 9?
No. Band, charging cable and box add nothing to the Series 9 price. The bands also fit the Series 10 and 11 in the matching size, so you can keep using them. We buy the watch without any accessories.
Do you take an Apple Watch Series 9 with water damage?
Yes, as faulty, from 30 €, as long as the watch was never opened. Water damage on the Series 9 usually follows a small crack in the glass through which moisture gets in during a shower or swim. Select the fault in the calculator.
How reliable is the estimate for my Apple Watch Series 9?
It is based on your answers and becomes binding once our technician has checked the Series 9. If you described glass, case and battery honestly, it usually stays at the estimated amount. If something differs, you get a new offer and decide for yourself.
