It is now possible to buy an Apple Watch SE from Apple a little cheaper, with Apple now selling certified refurbished models from its online store. While it appears Apple is also preparing to sell refurbished Apple Watch Series 6.
On the Australian Apple store, Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Series 6 has been added to the refurbished store. Joining other refurbished Apple Watch models Apple started to sell earlier in the year – including Apple Watch Series 5.
Pricing starts at just A$359 for a refurbished 38mm Apple Watch SE, while the larger 44mm starts at A$399. Prices that are A$80 off the recommended retail price (RRP) of new, a decent saving considering discounts on Apple Watch models are hard to find. Pricing does vary depending on the size of the watch and whether it has cellular connectivity.
Australian refurbished Apple Watch SE pricing is as follows:
| Model | Price* |
|---|---|
| Refurbished Apple Watch SE GPS, 40-mm | A$359 – save A$80 |
| Refurbished Apple Watch SE GPS + Cellular, 40-mm | A$399 – save A$80 |
| Refurbished Apple Watch SE GPS, 44-mm | A$419 – save A$80 |

All refurbished Apple Watch SE models go through a ‘rigorous’ process before being sold. A process that includes testing and inspection, cleaning process, repackaged with manuals etc, and more. Any Apple Watch that is found to require replacement parts are not offered for sale, states Apple.
Where to buy
Certified Refurbished Apple Watch models can only be purchased from Apple online. All orders include fast, free delivery and 14-day returns. Stock tends to be extremely limited, but Apple regularly updates the refurbished store.
