Apple today stocked its U.S. refurbished store with Apple Watch Series 10 models, offering the latest Apple Watch devices at a discount for the first time since their launch last September.

The refurbished Apple Watch Series 10 models are discounted by approximately 15 percent compared to the standard price for brand new models. The Wi-Fi only 46mm Apple Watch Series 10, for example, is available for $359, down from $429. A titanium 46mm Series 10 is priced at $639, down from $749.

As of right now, Apple is only offering 46mm Apple Watch Series 10 models in either Jet Black aluminum or Slate titanium, but additional models in other colors and sizes will likely be added in the not too distant future.

Refurbished stock fluctuates based on what Apple is getting when people return devices or send them in for repair, so if you're looking for a discount on a specific model, you may need to check back often.

Refurbished devices go through a rigorous refurbishment process prior to sale, according to Apple. Steps include functionality testing, cleaning and inspection, and repackaging. Apple does not offer refurbished Apple Watch models that require replacement parts, so all devices are in operational condition before refurbishment.

Apple's refurbished products feature the same one-year limited warranty as newly purchased devices, and they are eligible for AppleCare+ coverage.

It is worth noting that third-party retailers like Amazon often offer better discounts on the same Apple Watch Series 10 models.

Yes in the US buying from Costco or Amazon when they put the watches on sale is the way to go.
Why, does Costco price match? Better return policy?

Somewhat related: my older AA battery-powered trackpad and keyboard (Apple) are going through batteries every other week. I used to get months out of a pair of batteries. So I’m maybe in the market to upgrade to the USB version of each. I was skimming their refurb store, curious if things like trackpads and keyboards ever land there, and stumbled across this doozie.

I’ve been in creative and production my entire adult life. Who on Earth is buying this configuration? 🤪

Costco takes $100 off the series 10 the same as Amazon does during sales.
 
Not a good price from the refurbished store. There are numerous offers from 3rd party retailers. Can get a new Series 10 for much lower than this. Better to buy from there than the refurbished Apple store.

The cheaper ones on Amazon were the smaller versions. The 46mm ones were the same price and the refurb cellular ones were $10 less.

Given the price of the titanium series 10 refurbs are $40 less than the Ultra2 refurbs, which one would be the better device?
