While deals on iPhones and Apple Watches pop up throughout the year, these Apple devices are still pretty pricey even after a discount. The best way to score some serious savings is by shopping refurbished models. Right now, Woot has a massive selection of used iPhones and Apple Watches on sale, with prices starting at just $110.
The lineup even includes some more recent models like the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which you can snag for hundreds less than the list price. However, these offers are only available through Dec. 19, and some items have already sold out, so act fast if you don’t want to miss out on these savings.
Plus, Amazon Prime members get free two-day shipping — Woot is owned by Amazon — which is great if you’re hoping to have one of these gadgets wrapped and under the tree before Christmas morning.
There are so many different deals here that we can’t possibly get into all of them, but there are some worth pointing out. Those looking to spend the least will note the Apple Watch Series 5 is on sale for for just $110 and the iPhone 11 starts at just $230, but there are plenty of options further up the food chain as well.

The iPhone 15 series is just one generation old, and the Pro model is available starting at just $690. You can also upgrade to the 15 Pro Max for $830, and there are iPhone 14 models selling for just $390. If you’re looking for a new wearable, the previous-gen Apple Watch Series 9 is available for $320, and the Apple Watch Series 8 is a steal at $200. Or, if you want the absolute latest and greatest, you can get your hands on the Apple Watch Ultra 2 for just $500.
According to Woot, these products have been inspected and have a moderate level of wear and tear, so expect devices with minor dings or scratches. However, batteries and internal components have been tested and verified to be in full working condition. Plus, all of these items are backed by Woot’s one-year limited warranty.
Best last-minute gifts, according to CNET readers
Based on their popularity, here are the holiday deals that you should be considering:
Will these items arrive in time for Christmas?
If you’re ordering one of these iPhones or Apple Watches as a holiday gift, you probably want to know if it’s going to arrive on time. With Christmas and Hanukkah both taking place on Dec. 25 this year, and Kwanzaa kicking off the day after, it’s important to note shipping deadlines for USPS, FedEx, UPS, Amazon and others.
Guaranteed shipping deadlines at some of these delivery companies have already passed, with others offering expedited services that may allow you to order as late as Dec. 23 or even Dec. 24. Where delivery is no longer possible, be sure to assess your in-store pickup options or check out these great digital deals for the holidays.
If you opt for standard shipping, there’s a slim chance that your iPhone or Apple Watch could arrive before Christmas, depending on where you live. But with frequent shipping delays during this time of the year, there aren’t any guarantees. Woot does offer expedited shipping, and Amazon Prime members qualify for free two-day delivery, which will give you enough time to have your gift wrapped and under the tree.
