Apple makes some of thebest smartwatches on the market, but they aren’t the most affordable devices out there. If you’re new to wearables or you just don’t have the budget for the current flagship models, you can avoid spending a fortune by opting for an older or refurbished Apple Watch. And Woot is giving you the opportunity to do just that today with a one-day sale on previous-gen Apple Watch Series 7 devices, dropping prices down as low as $230 for these refurbished models. 

As the names would suggest, the Series 7 has been supplanted in the lineup by 2022’s Apple Watch Series 8. But just because it’s a year older, the Series 7 is no slouch by today’s standards. In fact, when comparing the Apple Watch Series 7 and Series 8, we found relatively few notable differences between the two for real world usage. 

You can use the Series 7 to track your exercise, blood oxygen levels, sleep and much more. You can even take an ECG to check your heart rhythm. It has essentially the same display as the Series 8 which allows for larger buttons in apps and a full QWERTY keyboard, making this watch easier to use than its predecessors. The battery lasts up to 18 hours on a single charge, and the Series 7 also has fast charging, so you can top off and get back to what matters without missing a beat.

The main catch with the Woot deal is that the products on offer there may have a little wear and tear, such as scratches, dents or dings. Other than that, they are in full working condition with batteries guaranteed to function at 85% capacity or more. A 90-day warranty is also provided. Various colors and sizes are available, as well as cellular-enabled variants, though some models may sell out much sooner than the slated end for this sale. 

If you have a little more room in your budget and would prefer to go for a brand new device, Walmart has select cellular-enabled Apple Watch Series 7 models on sale from $279.
