February is Heart Month, and Apple is marking the occasion by offering slightly higher trade-in values on older Apple Watch models in the United States.

A new banner added to Apple's website says customers can get a new Apple Watch Series 6 for as low as $239 after trade-in of an Apple Watch Series 4 in good condition, or a new Apple Watch SE for as low as $199 after trade-in of an Apple Watch Series 2 in good condition. These are only two examples, with many other combinations possible.

The new trade-in values are as follows:

  • Apple Watch Series 2: Up to $80 (up to $60 previously)
  • Apple Watch Series 1: Up to $40 (up to $35 previously)

What a joke of a trade-in program. $270 for an iPhone XS? Samsung offered me $350 for my iPhone X. It's going for $370 on eBay! Apple is a company that doesn't value their own products.

Wow, 5-10 bucks on top of their notoriously lowball trade in offers.
That’s mighty generous for a trillion dollar company with “heart.”

Here you go. You do need 250 posts and six months on the forum before you can access it though.
Bahhh. I have been here 13 years but only have 150+ posts. I wish I knew this existed, as I have 2 MacBook Pros to sell. Would so prefer to sell to someone who would appreciate their condition rather than some weirdo on eBay. Posting spree it is, then! LOL.

Edited to add: I would like to see heart health related ads from Apple. Heart disease is something people need to be made aware of and encouraged to keep focused on.
Come to think of it, what would be fun is, if you take advantage of the Heart Month trade-in rates, you get an exclusive watch face! While they don't do anything for me personally, I know a lot of people love their exclusive watch faces and the like. That would be a really fun thing if Apple were to do it.
