Buying Apple Watch 3 LTE(sprint) but it’s still in the persons payment plan is this a good idea. What’s the best way to go about it
 
If you plan on being with sprint for 2years I don’t see any issue paying 0% interest for 2 years. I think the LTE service is worth the monthly fee.
Would recommend apple care.
edited: not a second had watch though

You are wanting to buy a second hand watch from someone and the watch is still on the person's payment plan?

I would not take over someone's payment plan, much less be tied to Sprint for two years.

If you want a watch with LTE service on your carrier, open up a new account for the watch on your carrier. If your carrier is Sprint, I would have the guy pay it off before selling to you. And make sure you have proof in writing from the carrier of such.

Well I’m on T-Mobile he was just complaining about his bill and was going to pay it off and sell it at a great price. $300 42mm lte
 
The only way I'd do that is meet them at a Sprint Store and have them pay it off as soon as you hand them the cash. Anything short of that, I'd avoid it like it has the plague..

Some people have had problems getting LTE service one another carrier once the watch has had service on a different carrier. I would check with T-Mobile before doing anything.

Is the watch the SS model or the sport model?

Will look into it. It’s the sport model.

Great idea.
