This is the first time the Series 11, Ultra 3, and SE 3 have been available through Apple's online refurbished store since the devices launched last September.

Refurbished pricing on the 46mm GPS Apple Watch Series 11 starts at $369, down from $429, while Apple Watch Ultra 3 pricing starts at $699, down from $799. Apple Watch SE 3 40mm models start at $209, which is $40 less than the standard $249 price.

Apple has limited colors and sizes available for the Apple Watch Series 11, but refurbished stock changes regularly. If you're looking for a specific color, you can check back later to see if it's in stock. Both ‌Apple Watch Ultra 3‌ colors are available, and there are also several SE 3 options in stock.

Refurbished devices go through a rigorous cleaning and inspection process prior to sale, according to Apple. Refurbished products feature the same one-year limited warranty as newly purchased devices, and they are eligible for AppleCare+.

Apple offers around a 15 percent discount on its refurbished products, but you can get even better prices from third-party sellers. Amazon has the Apple Watch Series 11 available starting at $299 this week.

Miss the days when “Apple Refurbished” actually mean “value.”
I’ve routinely seen better prices on all of these models brand new through third parties like Amazon and Best Buy.
Absolutely zero incentive to even bother with these, which shows how little Apple cares about the segment itself.

Seems like a rubbish deal. Isn't this just matching the price of brand new devices sold by other retailers? At the moment in the UK 11 is discounted by more than these amounts by most major stores, and I think I've seen on here that it's heavily discounted by Amazon in the US.

Oh it’s an absolute trash deal as I said above. The series 11 is routinely discounted 100-150 dollars.

A used “refurbished” Ultra 3 watch at $100 off? Wow, maybe buy 5 at this price.
