Apple Watch SE and SE2 are great, affordable smart watches. But with the killer deals on grade A refurbished Apple Watches like Series 6,7 and 8 that Amazon bargain site Woot! offers this week, why not go for a wearable with more features than the budget models?
Act fast, though — the deals, which also include Apple Watch SE plus Series 4 and 5 — and and appealing variety of choices of models and colors — end Tuesday, August 27, at 10 p.m. Pacific.
Woot! sale on grade A refurbished Apple Watches (1st gen SE and Series 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8)
Each of the links below goes straight to that Apple Watch model. Or you can select from all the deals on the sale page, which says at the top, “Grade A Apple Watches — A is for Apple, B is for Buy it.”
For many folks, the choice will come down to which Apple Watch they already have and how much of an upgrade they can afford. Every series features at least minimal updates, and of course the newer ones will have a longer lifespan in terms of software updates from Apple, which can help ensure ongoing functionality and security.
Which killer deals on refurbished Apple Watches should you choose?
So how old should you go on a nicely refurbished Apple Watch? If you’re on a strict budget, you might aim for the SE or Series 4 or 5. But if you can swing a slightly bigger purchase, you should aim for Series 6 or newer models to get a great mix of features, especially those related to health and fitness. Most changes from year to year are incremental, and some are bigger than others (e.g., Apple Watch 5 introduced the always-on display; Apple Watch 8 brought in an ECG app and blood oxygen sensing).
