Apple Watch Users Explain Why They’re Reselling On eBay

The Apple Watch has been out for less than two months, but already people are trying to unload theirs on sites like eBay. And these people aren’t just resellers hoping to cash in on the hype. Nope, these people are selling their Apple Watches “barely used” — a clear sign that things just didn’t work out for people who intended to keep them.

So if you really want an Apple Watch, you’re in luck! Not only can you now order them online and pick them up in the store, but there are plenty to choose from on sites like eBay. Below, a few of the listings you can find right now. As you can see, it looks like a lot of people only stuck with their Apple Watch for “about a week.”

Not For Me

“This Apple Watch Sport was purchased directly from Apple less than a month ago and is available for immediate shipping. […] Perfect condition. Selling because this watch is just not for me.” [Excellent condition 42mm Blue Apple Watch Sport In Hand Ready To Ship]

Everyone Was Jealous But I Wasn’t Feeling It

“I used this watch for a week – just wasn’t feeling it. Everyone I know was jealous of it. Owning this watch will possibly change your life! […] I waited 2 months for this, you just have to wait a couple of days. Or get it for your Father. He wishes you’d finally get him something nice for Fathers Day.” [Apple WATCH SPORT 42mm Space Grey Aluminium Case Black Sport Band]

Practically Brand New

Selling for a Home Improvement Project

“Like brand new condition. Complete with all boxing, packaging, manuals, cables, power adaptor with two additional bands (red silicone sports band and brown leather band), and band replacement tool. Home improvement project needs to take precedence otherwise I would be keeping it.” [APPLE WATCH – 42 MM STAINLESS STEEL CLASSIC BUCKLE- BARELY USED – LOTS OF EXTRAS]

Is it too early to call the Apple Watch a dud? Probably. The next generation might have features and an interface that people actually like. Who knows! Anything can happen!
