Can I sell a locked Apple Watch Series 8?
It depends on the lock. Carrier locks are accepted. Activation Lock (iCloud) and MDM management locks must be removed before the sale, because an Apple Watch Series 8 still tied to an account or organization cannot be reset for its next owner. We never buy or unlock devices for anyone who is not the owner. The same rule holds for any Apple Watch Series 8, bought new or used.

Apple Watch Series 8 locked questions
How much is a locked Apple Watch Series 8 worth?
An Apple Watch Series 8 in like-new shape currently prices at up to $180. Once the lock is cleared, the lock itself does not lower the price; condition, storage and battery do. The Apple Watch price is built from what the same configuration resells for right now, minus only what our technicians would need to fix.
Does the Apple Watch Series 8 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. Signing the Apple Watch out of its Apple Account drops it from Find My, and that is what lifts Activation Lock for the next user. Activation Lock is checked during pricing and again on the bench, so switching it off early keeps the Apple Watch sale moving.
How do I get paid for my locked Apple Watch Series 8?
Choose PayPal, Zelle or Bank transfer (ACH) when you accept. After testing confirms the Apple Watch Series 8 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.
