Apple Watch Series 12 Launches With Best Buy Deal Starting at $199
Apple Watch Series 12 is available, and Best Buy trade-in can bring the 42mm GPS model to as little as $199.
The Best Buy offer allows customers to save up to $200 off the retail price when they trade in an older smartwatch. To check the value, shoppers click “Check your trade-in value” on the Apple Watch 12 product page, answer questions about their trade-in device, and Best Buy shows the estimated amount. The retailer then emails shipping instructions for the trade-in device. Once Best Buy receives it, the retailer refunds the amount to the original payment method. TechRadar reported that the offer is limited-time.
The Apple Watch Series 12 includes new Apple silicon and advanced health sensors. TechRadar reported that Apple claims the watch has the most accurate heart rate sensing in a wearable. The device also uses Apple’s newest Health Sensing System and the S11 chip, which support a suite of health and fitness features, including a new readiness score. Advanced workout and sleep tracking are included as well.
Battery life is rated at up to 24 hours, or up to 10 hours during an outdoor workout. TechRadar reported that this is a 25% improvement over the previous model. The 42mm GPS-only Apple Watch 12 has a retail price of $399 before any trade-in credit.
The Apple Watch 12 is officially available to buy at Best Buy, where the trade-in promotion can lower the price to as little as $199 with a qualifying device. Customers who want to upgrade from an older smartwatch can use the retailer’s online trade-in process to determine their savings. TechRadar noted that the deal is a good option for those with an older smartwatch who want to move to Apple’s latest model.
