What’s the resale value of the Aluminum, as bad as steel?

It also depends which model/generation we talking about for the aluminum model. Figuratively speaking, the Apple Watch is based on condition overall as well.
They do Drop significantly, But the closer A Keynote approaches and the rumors are flourishing about a new Apple Watch, then the market really is saturated with used Apple Watches for sale, as everyone plans on upgrading. But they do hold some
value if it's the latest model offered for the most part. But like all technology, the depreciation is rather quick.
I'd say at least 50% after one year. I've only had stainless steel models and have sold 2 of them so far when upgrading.
For both the original and Series 2 I purchased them at launch for 779 + sales tax (13%) - $880 total.
Funnily enough, sold both of them for the same price when the newer model was launching for $550. So got back 62.5%.
This year I think the SS Series 2 will hold some resale value as the only SS option is the LTE model which is priced a bit higher, and the Series 2 still performs well.

Good suggestion. Swappa is likely the best source to compare to see what's selling and overall value. It's more of a generalization, but being that technology resale changes almost every day, it's the best source in my opinion.
