Used smartwatches in Melbourne typically sell for A$77 to A$480 (about $54 to $335). Smartwatches are bought on compatibility and battery life, so name the exact model, say which phones it works with, and give a tested figure for how long a charge lasts.
Selling a smartwatch in Melbourne
Melbourne has the strongest vintage and op-shop culture in Australia and a large student population across several universities, so buying second hand here is entirely ordinary. It is also the country’s music city, which keeps instruments, amps and records moving in a way they do not everywhere.
The tram network covers the inner suburbs densely and is how most small handovers happen. The city is flat, which makes collecting a bike or a chest of drawers by car straightforward, though inner-suburb streets are narrow and permit parking is tightly enforced.
On anything stored in a garage or shed, check for damp. The winters here are wetter and colder than the city’s reputation suggests, and fabric and particle board both suffer for it.
Melbourne has around 5.1 million people in Victoria, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Melbourne
Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.

Put in the description
- Tested battery life per charge
- Whether the original charger and band are included, and the band size
Brand, model and case size: “Garmin Forerunner 255, 46mm, Black”. Case size matters for fit and band compatibility. State which phones it pairs with — a watch that only works with one platform needs saying, and it saves you a dozen messages.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
