so 325? nope, that is way too low. people seriously can't expect to pay that little for a sealed device

you can try swappa to sell.

From experience it's crazy how much these things have dropped. I sold my stainless steel black with link band for less than 600...talk about taking a serious hit. Good luck
 
Try offerUp and letgo, as well as close5. I've had better luck selling things on there instead of craigslist lately. Having things cross posted between them has done a great job. But the apps seem to do better for selling apple products and craigslist for everything else.
 
I've tried selling one of my watches, they do not hold thier value at all, we'll compared to other apple products. Even with 50% off , it's hard to move.

Yours being sealed, should fetch more

In theory, but not that much more because Best Buy is currently selling the OP's exact model (38mm SS with black classic buckle) at $200 off. Why pay that much or even near that much for a sealed box from a stranger when you can get the same sealed box from a trusted retailer and still be able to return it if necessary? Not to mention losing out on credit card rewards and CC extended warranty if buying in cash from a stranger.

If a new Watch was being released, I would buy one. Since the goofy developers show yesterday revealed no new Watch hardware, I will just wait as the functionality in the current Watch version is unacceptable for my needs AND without such functionality the current Watch is grossly overpriced--which is why you can't sell your Watch for what you think it is worth.

Damn $200 off. I like my Apple Watch, but damn it was a horrible buy in relation to resale. If I get Apple Watch 2, I'll buy used this time .

Keep in mind Best Buy holds these $50/100/200 off loss leader sales only around major holidays (xmas, Valentine's Day, Veterans Day, Mothers Day, Memorial Day, and now Fathers Day).

The AW selling at 50% of original price in the marketplace is actually no different from one-year-old iPhone resale value. It doesn't matter if it's still the current generation as it's a tech device. A one-year-old tech device is still one year behind the latest, cutting edge technology and will be priced accordingly.

I believe this sums it up perfectly. So many are up for sale.

Sold my 42mm SS in Connecticut today for $500. I posted it 4 days ago. I had many scammers ask for it and 4 lowballers. 3 people were serious but dropped out because I would not be moved on the price. Last woman paid my price and she was happy about it. Perfect gift for her husband and much cheaper than at the store (considering I included my extra accessories)

There is a buyer for everything at any price . . . . you just got to find them.
 
I sold my 42mm SS Space Black with BSB for $400. It was 'new' as Apple had just replaced it.

I bought a 42mm with Milanese Loop for $200 off at Best Buy. Between that sale and reward zone certificates, I paid $420 before taxes.
 
I bought the exact same model for $185 last week, but this one is used and out of warranty. Hope you made the deal for $350.
 
As mentioned, supply and demand are the issues.

A device is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay you for it. That factor weighs even more heavily if your target audience is smaller. For example, if limited to local sales, I'd probably say it's worth $10 in my area. Very little demand.

I think demand is there. When i was selling mine a lot of people texted me about it. Only problem is people dont want to pay that much for a watch. I think the only watch that holds value is Rolex. Apple watch is nothing special.

That bad at $10, huh? In that case, just auction it on eBay and the bidding war will do very nicely at bringing it up to the market value, which is actually higher than some of the one-off sales you hear about, including Best Buy's $200 off for brand new.
