Can I sell a locked Apple Watch Series 12?

Apple Watch Series 12 locked questions
How much is a locked Apple Watch Series 12 worth?
An Apple Watch Series 12 in like-new shape currently prices at up to $520. Once the lock is cleared, the lock itself does not lower the price; condition, storage and battery do. Each Apple Watch estimate draws on this month's resale data for that configuration, and your condition answers refine it before anything is shipped.
Does the Apple Watch Series 12 have Activation Lock?
Yes. It stays tied to the owner's Apple Account until Find My is turned off or the device is removed at icloud.com/find. Activation Lock is tied to the Apple Account still signed in on the Apple Watch; signing out removes it and frees the device for its next owner. Locked out of your own account? Recover it at iforgot.apple.com before you ship, because an Apple Watch still linked to any account can't be bought or resold.
How do I get paid for my locked Apple Watch Series 12?
Choose PayPal, Zelle or Bank transfer (ACH) when you accept. After testing confirms the Apple Watch Series 12 matches your answers, payment is sent within 2 business days after your device passes inspection. If anything differs you get a revised offer first and can decline it for a free return.
Do you buy carrier-locked devices?
Yes. Pick the carrier in the quote. Carrier-locked units must be paid off and free of blacklist reports, which we check by IMEI before sending a label. Activation Lock is tied to the Apple Account still signed in on the Apple device; signing out removes it and frees the device for its next owner.
