Apple’s Wonderlust kicked off this Tuesday, September 12th with the announcement of the iPhone 15, Apple Watch Series 9 (and other products and features) – but how will these new gadgets affect the value of your current ones? It is no surprise that tech gadgets are losing value with the release of the new models. If you’re thinking about trading in an old device for the newest one, here’s how much you can get for it now.

How much your Apple Watch is worth now
With the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 set to launch on September 22nd, Apple has allowed people to trade in their old watches for some credit when they pre-order.
How much Apple gives you for your watch depends on the series (stainless steel is worth more than aluminum), model (generation and size), conditions (does everything work?), physical damage, and condition of the band. Assuming these are all in perfect condition and you have stainless steel, here’s what you can expect from Apple if you want to trade it in for the latest model:
- Apple Watch Series 1: Apple will recycle it for you for free.
- Apple Watch Series 2: Apple will recycle it for you for free.
- Apple Watch Series 3: Apple will recycle it for you for free.
- Apple Watch Series 4: $60
- Apple Watch Series 5: $90
- Apple Watch Series 6: $115
- Apple Watch Series 7: $155
- Apple Watch Ultra: $380
- Apple Watch Series 8: $190
