Refurbished Apple Watch Series 10 Drops to $260 as Retailers Clear Older Models

3 articles · Updated · ZDNet · Oct 29

Summary

  • $260 at Best Buy and $283 at Back Market mark the latest refurbished deals on Apple Watch Series 10, with the lower price covering the GPS model and the higher one adding cellular connectivity.
  • Those discounts make the two-generation-old watch more compelling because new units remain relatively close in price to newer Apple models, while the refurbished versions are described as fully functional despite light cosmetic wear.
  • Series 10 still offers a larger display in a slimmer case, all-day battery life and fast charging that reaches 80% in 30 minutes or delivers about eight hours from a 15-minute top-up.
  • Health and fitness features remain broad—covering activity tracking, workout metrics, heart-rate and respiratory monitoring, sleep tracking and cycle tracking—helping keep demand up even as inventory may run out quickly.
