Whether you bought a new fitness tracker to get in shape or a smartwatch to get notifications on your wrist, the old ones are likely to end up in a drawer or closet. It’s useless to stay there for too long, and the longer you leave it, the less valuable it becomes. Why not clean up your old smartwatch and sell or give it away before it fades from your memory?
Here’s how to get your old fitness tracker ready to sell, give away, donate, or recycle for as much money as possible. In this quick guide, we will show you how to backup your smartwatch (whether Android Wear or a Galaxy Watch) as well as factory reset the watch and prepare it for sale. Here’s how:
Data Backup
Before cleaning your wearable’s data, back up your most recent data so you don’t lose anything. Most smartwatches and fitness trackers automatically sync data with companion apps on your phone.
If you upgrade to another model from the same manufacturer and continue to use the same app, please perform a final sync. If you’re planning on switching to a new watch or tracker brand, you’ll need to export your data. This procedure varies by device manufacturer.
Here are some brief guides on how to export data for some of the biggest brands:
Fitbit: Sign in to Fitbit.com and go to Settings, Data Export.
Google: Go to Google Takeout, deselect all, and then Fit.
Samsung: Open the Samsung Health app and go to More options, Settings, Download personal data.
Factory Reset
The correct way to unpair and factory reset your smartwatch or fitness tracker depends on the brand and model. Each has a different way of doing it, but the idea of it is the same. Unpairing will often automatically trigger a factory reset. Although it is recommended to charge your device before you wipe it fully. Once you have wiped your smartwatch or fitness tracker, switch it off.Clean It
Now, a wearable device like a smartwatch or fitness band has survived a lot more useful than your usual device. Because it has likely been on your wrist through rain, shine, and many sweaty workouts, you should clean your device thoroughly. Use a microfiber cloth and some kind of cleaning spray and clean it. If that doesn’t help you clean, apply some warm water to the cloth to remove stubborn marks and follow up with a dry cloth.
Pack it Safely
After doing all this, one of the last thing to do is to pack it safely. Pack all of its necessary additions like its’ charger, box, cable and anything else that came with it. Not only does it look better to a buyer if it is boxed the same way you bought it, but the original box is usually intended to keep the device safe throughout shipping.
Now, what is left to do is sell it, that is if you are intending to do the same. Selling directly is likely to net you the largest payout, but more hassle and risk are involved. For example, OLX. However, it is easier to put it here, as you can sell it for a price you like. But involves you negotiating a price and handling the exchange. It could be a hassle for some users.
