I can’t believe Verizon is going to give me $200 for my series 1 watch. Lol.
 
Hmm if I knew this I would have traded in my S3, but then again I don't need to pay the extra $15/month for the cellular service.
 
I went through check out and selected the trade in option. Hopefully it wasnt a limited time deal.
 
same, though I am curious to know if they're going to give me the full amount because I've beaten the hell out of my series 2 in the last couple months and even had to re-glue the screen back on. works perfectly but it's a mess. hopefully they don't look too closely. still got $150 off with device dollars as well, so even if I don't get the $200 it won't be too bad. but if i do get $350 off total, i'll be very happy. wanted to wait for the 8 because I want more sensors (blood sugar etc) but may upgrade next year if there's a big improvement if I manage to get the 7 for only $200 or so. won't feel so bad about it.
 
How did you get such high amounts? I just checked for my Series 4 and they want to offer me $56 lol.
Apple won’t give me anything. Verizon site states $200 for any Watch trade in and a rep on chat confirmed that. Hell I bought the 13 Pro and they gave me $800 for my X trade in.

Has anyone completed the trade in? I'm trying to select my series 3 Nike GPS only but I receive an error message "Please select all the device details" and can't go further. This is not a cellular device so it does not have an IMEI number.

I may have to drag myself and call VZ tmrrw.

I chatted with someone at Verizon online because I had the same issue. Instead of an IMEI number, you use the WIFI address number. Seems ridiculous but it worked and correctly identified my watch.

This is why I love MR. THANK YOU. VZ is completely incompetent when applying promos and upgrading devices.

FINALLY moving on from my S3 Nike edition. It still works completely fine especially since apple fixed that awful update bug. Almost 4 years to the date since I purchased this thing.

I ordered the Silver Nike 45” edition. $200 promo + $50 in device credits.

Ships 12/16.

Awesome, enjoy! I have a stainless steel series 2 that’s five years old and falling apart. Ordered a 45mm green series 7. $200 for trade-in (assuming they accept it) and 150 in device dollars. I plan to upgrade more frequently after this and might treat myself to something like another stainless or titanium in a couple years. Mine ships 11/12.

Verizon gave me $800 for my daughter’s XR 64GB when I upgraded her to the 13PM. I’ll take it.
 
UPDATE... So Verizon will only give me $200 for my series 1 when i buy a watch with a cellular plan for it. So much for that.
 
Pretty awesome deal offered by Verizon. Just traded in my Series 2 for $200 and got a Graphite 45 SS w Abyss sport blue band. Also had $60 in device dollars, so really got $260 off retail.

On top of that, they somehow had this Graphite SS in stock and it’s already shipped, when nobody else seems to have inventory.
