The watch in the bedside drawer with a flat battery.

Watch 6, 7, 8, Classic or Ultra. Bluetooth or LTE, and yes, we know which one yours is worth more.

Smartwatches get abandoned faster than any other device. The novelty runs out, the charging becomes a chore, and it ends up in a drawer with a flat battery about eight months in. Almost nobody thinks to sell one.

They are worth less than phones, which is unsurprising, and more than nothing, which surprises people. A recent Watch in decent condition is a few thousand rand, and the courier costs you nothing.

The two things that change the price most are the size and whether it is the LTE version, and both are easy to get wrong from memory. Check before you pick.

If you are upgrading, you are not selling. You are part-paying.

If the watch stopped being worn because of battery life, the newer generations genuinely fixed a lot of that. If it stopped being worn because you did not want a watch, sell it and enjoy the bare wrist.

Take the payout as EpicDeals.co.za credit instead of cash and we add 12% on top. That is us paying you for not needing the money in your account today, and it costs you nothing if you were going to spend it here anyway.

The 12% is only worth taking if you were going to spend it. If you need the cash, take the cash, and we will not make the voucher hard to refuse.

What affects your offer.

Size and connectivity

40mm and 44mm are different prices, and LTE is worth more than Bluetooth-only. Both are on the back of the case or in the Wearable app, and both are commonly misremembered.

The screen and the bezel

A watch face lives on your wrist and meets every doorframe. Scratches on the glass are the most common deduction, and a deep one on the display is a real subtraction.

Battery health

Watch batteries are tiny and they degrade quickly. A watch that no longer lasts a day is common at two years old and is priced accordingly rather than refused.

The charger, which is model specific

Watch chargers are not interchangeable across every generation and are frequently lost. Send it if you have it.

We still buy it with these.

Choose the closest condition in the calculator and mention anything that is wrong. Your offer already takes it into account.

  • Scratched or cracked watch glass
  • Battery that will not last a day, or at all
  • Charging puck missing or no longer connecting
  • Rotating bezel that has stopped clicking
  • Heart rate sensor that has stopped reading
  • Worn or missing strap, which is a small deduction
  • Will not switch on at all

Galaxy Watch questions.

Check the Galaxy Wearable app, or look at the model number engraved on the back of the case. LTE models usually have a coloured detail on the home button, but that varies by generation, so the model number is the reliable route.
