Apple recently expanded their trade-up program to Apple Watch, offering customers instant credit or an Apple Store Gift Card. The program has widely been available for iPhone and iPad, but now it is available for Apple Watch users in Canada.
Users have the choice of trading in their Apple Watch at Apple Stores, where they will get instant credit towards the purchase of anything in the store, or trade-up online and get a gift card.
Right now, estimated trade-in values offer up to $225 CAD for your Apple Watch, depending on model. Here are some sample prices of what some models could be worth:
