Apple Watch Series 3 refurb smartwatches on sale for $93 off at Amazon

After a long holiday season of spending money on everyone else, it’s officially acceptable to be selfish — and a new Apple Watch would be a top-tier gift to yourself.

Amazon has cut the prices of multiple certified refurbished Apple Watch models (with some down to under $200). Our favorite deal is on the fancy 42MM Series 3 with GPS and cellular, which could be yours for $315.99, a savings of $93.

But here’s the real kicker: The same exact refurb model is nearly $200 more on Apple’s site, making the already-awesome deal so much better.

Though the new Series 4 was released back in September 2018, there are plenty of reasons why opting for a Series 3 could be the move for you. Unless you’re a die-hard Apple connoisseur and need the latest and greatest, you probably won’t even notice those new features that you’d be paying extra for. Plus, getting the next-to-newest Apple Watch for basically $300 is unheard of.

You’re not getting the thinnest bezels or Apple’s newest processor, but the stuff that really matters in a smart watch — cellular connectivity, iMessages, fitness tracking and heart rate monitoring, water resistance, Spotify, and other similar stuff — is still packed into the gorgeous Series 3 for way less.

“Refurbished” can feel like a sketchy yard sale term, but we’re dealing with nothing less than legit here. Amazon promises that they’ve been tested and inspected to work like new, and enthusiastic reviews from previous customers offer extra reassurance. But if you’re just not satisfied, there’s also a 90-day warranty.

Regularly $409 (or $509 on Apple’s refurb site), you can save $93 and grab the Apple Watch Series 3 with GPS and cellular for just $315.99.
