As per usual, when Apple released the Apple Watch Series 5, the sale of the Series 4 Apple Watch ended. But that's okay, because you can get a refurbished Apple Watch 4 in like-new condition from us that looks and feels just like a new one. Free shipping for the UK and with a 12-month warranty and 30 day returns included too!
In our opinion, the Apple Watch 4 was the first Apple Watch that felt slim. At first glance you might not notice the difference, but the Apple Watch Series 4 has a screen that extends to the edges of the device, something that was not present in earlier Apple Watches.
There is not really a big difference between these two models of the Apple Watch. The only real advantage of the Series 5 over the Series 4 is the always-on display. So if you don't want your Apple Watch to always display the time, even when you're not looking at it, you should just look for a cheap Apple Watch 4 deal on this page. And although the used Apple Watch 4 does not have an always-on display, it is able to accurately and reliably know when you are looking at your watch by detecting the movement of your wrist when you want to check the time.
You can probably get an older refurbished Apple Watch model cheaply, but personally, I wouldn't buy an Apple Watch that is older than the Series 4. And it's not because older watches don't work as well or have fewer features, it's because a refurbished Apple Watch 4 has a slicker design than any Apple Watch that came before it.
So if you are looking for a cheap Apple Watch Series 4, you're in the right place. At Back Market, we offer savings of up to 50% compared to new, making it a super affordable and eco-friendly option for anyone looking to get an Apple smartwatch (or any other tech).
Plus when you buy a refurbished 4th gen Apple Watch 4 from Back Market, you can be 100% confident you're getting a high-quality product that has been cleaned, inspected, and tested to ensure it's in good working condition. We even offer a 12-month warranty on all of our refurbished products, so you can have complete peace of mind knowing that you're covered in case of any issues.
