Score Apple Watch Series 11 at $180 off with Best Buy’s Series 10 trade-in values

As we have already detailed, pre-orders on the new Apple Watch Series 11 wearables are now live at Apple and Amazon. That said, if you have some free store credit at Amazon, you might be able to score one for less over there (we have featured a ton of promotions with FREE Amazon credit attached over the last month or more), and Best Buy is offering some elevated trade-in values on Series 10 (and other models) that can knock $180 or more off your new Apple Watch Series 11. 

How to get a deal on Apple Watch Series 11

You can of course trade-in your previous model at Apple and try your hand there, but it looks as though in our testing that Best Buy is offering slightly more on most models right now. You will definitely want to check both options before making a move – you have to put a specific serial number in at Apple to check the value, but Best Buy is definitely worth a look here. 

As of right now, Best Buy is offering us $180 off Series 11 with trade-ins of either the 42mm or 46mm Series 10 GPS-only base model – Apple is offering us up to $175 when we test various serial numbers. 

Best Buy is offering $110 when flipping a Series 9 to Series 11, and as much as $250 on an Ultra 2 – you are perhaps not likely to be trading in the latter for a Series 11, but you never know (this will bring Series 11 down to as low as $149). 

Follow these steps to ensure you get this:

  1. Navigate to the Apple Watch Series 11 listing page, and add a configuration to your cart. 
  2. Then navigate to your cart, and hit the “Check Trade-In Value” button. 
  3. Follow the on-screen prompts – enter the watch you have and choose “Good” condition.  
  4. And then hit the “Search” button at the bottom, select your model from the results, and then “Add it to Cart”
  5. This will then load up your cart with both the new Series 10 and the trade-in, effectively knocking the price down on Series 11 with the values mentioned above.
