You don’t need to follow all the latest trends, buying the latest model in a tech lineup, new. A frugal-minded way to keep up with the latest tech is to just stay a couple years behind. You can usually find slightly older models on sale for huge discounts one the new one comes out. Going with certified refurbished products is another way you’re able get huge discounts and keeps some extra cash in your wallet. Back Market is a great outlet to find pre-owned tech that’s just like new or pretty close to it for a fraction of the cost. Right now, Back Market has the Apple Watch Series 10 on sale for $207 off. It normally goes for $429, but the discount ends up taking it down by nearly half all the way to just $222 for a limited time.

Certified Refurbished
Back Market breaks down its pre-owned products into four different categories—fair, good, excellent, and premium. This way you know exactly what kind of wear and tear you’ll be dealing with. The products have been restored professionally based upon 100 points of inspection. When purchasing through Back Market, you can be sure the product will have a reliable battery health, screen, biometric scanners, chargers, cables, cleanliness, external sensors, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and more. You also get a one year warranty and free returns up to 30 days.
Fair is the version of the Apple Watch Series 10 that is currently going for $222. This model has visible signs of use, solid battery life for daily use, and is reconstructed using verified parts if anything needed replacement.
Good is used to label the same as fair except it has only light signs of use. That version is now $279.
The Excellent label is used for when there are almost no signs of use. Oddly, this one has been discounted to $278, so it’s a dollar cheaper than “Good.” There is currently no reason to opt for a “good” Apple Watch Series 10 over an “excellent” Apple Watch Series 10.
Lastly, we have the Premium models. These have almost no signs of use, even better battery health, and only contain Apple parts if anything needed replacement.
Back Market also offers versions of the Apple Watch Series 10 with either GPS only or GPS plus cellular as well as offer sizes of either 42mm or 46mm. The prices change depending on which you go with. All prices listed above are for the 42mm chassis with only GPS, no celluar.
