Spent a fortune on S0 model of Apple Watch. Wish I had not as the cheaper models just as good and last long if looked after. Resell value was quite poor also.They don't have the Stainless Steel one though! Seems like no one does and even the ones that do (Like John Lewis) don't have it in stock
Yeah, I got the aluminium S2 in 2016, but this time I want the stainless steel with Milanese loop as it’s more premium (plus the stainless steel body will match my iPhone XS!).
You’re right about resale value - currently I’m getting £65 for my S2 lol
Have you checked musicmagpie? I sold my s0 sport for £80 with them! Got the money in my bank the same day they received it.
Seems like I can get £120 for it, but now I have to pack everything up and send it haha. Not sure if it’s worth the extra £55. Plus they require that my watch band must have very little wear & tear, but it has faded a little bit so i guess they might knock off some value off it. So I’m not sure maybe it’s better to give it to Apple and have the value applied towards my new S4 instantly no need to worry about sending the watch and stuff
Thanks! Got one for pickup tomorrow!
Excellent! Do you think we’ll get a specific delivery time slot on Monday?Yes Tim, mine appears to be keeping yours company.
If you sign up to UPS My Choice Tim you get timely updates with a delivery slot.
Personally I’m not too bothered but have added my email address so they can contact me if there are any issues.
It’s all on the UPS Tracking Details web page.
Any 40mm SS Milanese Loop? I guess not as I’ve signed up to me notified by email if any arrives but didn’t get an email
Speaking of resale values, I had a milanese s2 which cost £750 and trade in value now is about £150 haha, very steep depreciation. I also have my s0 too, im just keeping my watches.
Music magpie was great with my phone trade in though. I sold them a 7+ and X for a total of £975 with a 10% extra voucher. They paid me the same day it was received, no hassle.

Just picked up a space black 44mm at John Lewis Regent Street they had 4 I got the last one
They didn't give me a specific discount for having the phone and the watch on the same contract.
I was still using my old O2 Refresh Tariff as I wanted the data sharing. I had 30GB I shared between my phone and an iPad SIM and it was costing me £46 a month.
I took a 40GB SIMO on EE which was £25 a month on offer, and a 5GB SIMO for my iPad which was £13 a month. For every device (except apple watch) you add to your account you save 10% anyway, so I would save £1.30 a month on the iPad SIM. However, I get a corporate discount of 20% which applied to the whole thing, so I pay £30.40 a month (£38 - 20%).
So this alone saves me £15 a month, and with EE I can gift data from my 40GB to my iPad should I need to.
I then added the watch for £5 a month.... 6 months unlimited data, and then it's own 10GB of data from 6 months onwards. I also got an additional 1GB a month bonus from EE added to my iPad SIM, which is a "boost" you get for adding additional devices too
All in all, well worth it for me.
So have I got this correct - if you already own an Apple Watch S4 or are buying it elsewhere other than from EE, it’s only £5 a month for a watch contract?
Yep. I bought my watch from Apple. In the watch app you go into Mobile Data, select EE, it asks you to login to your EE account and agree to some stuff and then that’s it. £5 a month.
Ah cool. I have signed up with them already so will check the app on Monday! If I know a time slot I may be able to pop back home for an hour to take delivery!
Would I have to call up EE and take out a contract then or can I do this from the Watch app?
You can only add the watch to an existing EE contract. It can't be the ONLY thing you have with them. So you'll need an EE SIMO in your iPhone.
