If you’re in the market for a cheaper Apple Watch, how about buying one directly from Apple? The Cupertino-based tech giant has started selling refurbished units of the Apple Watch Series 7, and needless to say, they come with a lower price tag.

The Apple Watch Series 7 normally starts at $399 for the 41mm aluminum version, while the larger 45mm model can be had from $429.

However, the refurbished units are obviously much cheaper, as the smaller model starts at $330, while the larger sibling costs $359. As per MacRumors, only the aluminum version is currently selling as part of the refurbished program, with several color options also included.

The Apple Watch Series 8

Certainly, getting your hands on a cheaper Apple Watch Series 7 is certainly something that many people are willing to do, but at the same time, it’s not a secret that some are waiting for the next-generation model.

And according to recent information that made the headlines, the Apple Watch Series 8 could come with lots of improvements, including the addition of a body temperature sensor.

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has an excellent track of everything related to Apple, says the Cupertino-based company initially planned to add the body temperature sensor to the smartwatch on the model already on the market.

However, because the feature didn’t meet Apple’s expectations, the Apple Watch Series 7 launched without a body temperature sensor, so now there’s a chance the upcoming model could finally introduce such capabilities.

However, Kuo himself warned that making this happen isn’t by any means easy, as Apple just wants to make sure everything is working properly. And because of the highly complex system, Apple isn’t the only one struggling with the whole thing, as Samsung could also fail to bring a body temperature sensor to its smartwatch.
