Nevertheless, for essentially the most half, upgrading has meant getting caught with or recycling your outdated watch as trade-in choices have been non-existent and worth simply didn’t actually maintain. However, all of a sudden, there’s a strong possibility accessible.

Finest Purchase has not too long ago opened up trade-in gives for choose Put on OS smartwatches, most notably the unique Pixel Watch. Google’s first-generation Pixel Watch can now be traded in by Finest Purchase for the sequel or one other mannequin. The Google Retailer has provided trade-ins for the primary technology for a couple of months now, however it’s nice to have the choice at Finest Purchase too.

For the bottom Pixel Watch, Finest Purchase will provide you with $80, rather less than the Google Retailer.

Additional, and rather more surprisingly, Finest Purchase can be now making trade-in gives on choose Put on OS watches from Fossil Group. This features a handful of Fossil-branded watches, with values topping out at $120 for a Fossil Gen 6 smartwatch.

9to5Google’s Take

That is lengthy overdue, and manner higher than I personally anticipated. Put on OS smartwatches are infamous for not holding their values, particularly fashions from Fossil. Having the ability to get $140 for a Fossil Group smartwatch launched in 2019 borders on absurd. For anybody nonetheless utilizing an older Fossil watch and seeking to transfer as much as one thing new, that is one of the best deal you’re going to get.

It’s solely unlucky that these trade-in gives appeared after a number of the finest vacation offers expired, such because the $299 Pixel Watch 2. Nonetheless, although, it’s a stellar supply.
