Do You Need To Buy A New Apple Watch?
Most people that use Apple Watch use it for three, core things:
- Tracking health and fitness
- Notifications
- Apple Pay

And that’s it. I own the Apple Watch Ultra 2 (which I bought refurbished) and the data tracks. I use mine to track my steps, my workouts, and pay for things.
I don’t have notifications on, however, because they’re annoying AF, distracting, and they run the battery down too much.
If You ONLY Need The Basics, A Refurbished Apple Watch Saves You A Fortune
With this in mind, I don’t really understand why anyone would be a brand new model.
For starters a new Apple Watch Ultra 4 is hella expensive; you’re looking at the best part of $1000/£1000 for one.
Yes, it has new features and bells and whistles.

But a Series 9 or Series 10 or even an Ultra 2 or Ultra 3 all do the three core things most users use Apple Watch for.
And the upshot? A refurbished Apple Watch is 60% cheaper to buy than a new one – even more if you’re looking at the Apple Watch Ultra 4 which costs a bomb.
If you don’t own an Apple Watch but are thinking of buying one to track your workouts, ask yourself this: do you really need to pay for a brand new one?
Pay Way Less & Get The Features You Actually Use
Or, would a refurbished model that looks and functions as good as new, and costs like 40% to 50% less, be a better fit?
I know which I’d go for because I already bought one earlier this year (an Apple Watch Ultra 2), and you know what? I’d never buy a new one again. It’s crazy money for something that is basically a glorified step and fitness tracker.
Seriously, check out how much you can save on Apple Watch by going refurbished. I guarantee you’ll be blown away.
