When acquiring a Second -hand Apple productwe have multiple options, from the iPhone, something very common, to the Mac, iPad, or even Apple Watchsomething that is usually very common because it is a non -essential accessory and that many end up keeping in a drawer, so they choose to sell it.
However, if it is a model with several years, it could have a trick, and that finally does not come out as cheap as we thought, so we are going to give you a series of recommendations if you are thinking of getting one in this way, which, sometimes, can go well.
Second -hand Apple Watch Dangers
When we buy an iPhone, or an iPad, the first thing we usually look, apart from its exterior physical state, is the battery healthsomething that we do not usually do with the Apple Watch, and that is more important.
A clock of this brand has an official duration, according to the company itself, 18 hours of use. This newly bought from 100% health, however, its daily use, for 2 years, could lower this, less than 85%, so, although we buy a guarantee model, and practically of the last ones, it could have its degraded autonomy, and that is that 15% of 18 hours equals almost 3 hours, so we would already talk that it would last about 15 hours, that will not count that it will continue to fall quickly in the coming weeks.
This, on an iPhone, is not so visible, since it will depend a little on its use, and change this battery can be very economical, especially if we do it on our own. However, in an Apple Watch it is more difficult, and we will have to take it to the technical service, which will charge us around 109 euros for this changein most current models.
If we add this price, to what the second -hand Apple Watch has cost us, we are probable that we no longer see such a good offer used, and that we had acquired a new one almost for the same.
In summary, Apple Watch batteries degrade in just over 2 yearsand it is something that we do not usually look at when we do with one, so we have to take it into account, since we could acquire a clock that does not reach us at the end of the day, forcing us to pay 109 euros to solve it, since, otherwise, it will not help us much, and we will have thrown the money.
Apple has to put the batteries, never better, and get future models with greater autonomy, since it is one of the weak points that these watches have, and for which many do not buy one, opting for competition brands with much higher data in this aspect.
And you, do you look at this kind of thing when acquiring a second -hand product, or just look at the exterior, without physical blows or defects? Leave us a comment with your personal opinion or experience in these cases.
