Smartwatch Resale Value

A used smartwatch typically sells for between £40 and £250, with most changing hands around £145. Smartwatches depreciate quickly and the range mostly reflects whether the model still receives updates and how the battery is holding up.

The short version

  • Typical range: £40 – £250
  • Biggest single factor: condition — see the table below
  • Category: Electronics
  • Cost to sell on WishThrift: nothing, at any price

What a used smartwatch is worth by condition

Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for smartwatchs, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.

ConditionTypical priceWhat it means
New with Tags£250Unused, tags or seals intact
Like New£212Barely used, no visible wear
Good£162Light signs of use, complete and working
Fair£112Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part
For Parts£62Not working or incomplete, sold as seen

These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.

What raises the value of a smartwatch

  • Recent models still supported by the maker
  • Battery lasting close to its original rated day count
  • Original charger, which is nearly always proprietary
  • Spare or unworn straps included

What lowers it

  • Models no longer receiving software updates
  • Battery that no longer lasts a day
  • Deep scratches to the screen or bezel
  • Missing proprietary charging puck or cable

How to work out what yours is worth

  1. Check the model still takes current software updates
  2. Charge fully and record how long a normal day lasts
  3. Confirm you still have the correct charger

Once you have those three answers you can place your own smartwatch on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions

Are used smartwatches worth much?

Modest sums for most models. They depreciate quickly, and buyers focus on remaining battery life and whether updates are still arriving.

Why does the charger matter so much?

Because it is almost always proprietary. Without it a buyer has to source a model-specific charger before they can use the watch at all.

Should I include spare straps?

Yes. Straps are inexpensive but bundling them makes the listing more attractive at no real cost to you.
