A pre-owned, previously used wearable device running Google’s operating system that has undergone inspection, cleaning, and repair to restore it to a functional state. These devices often come with a warranty, albeit potentially shorter than that offered for new products, providing a level of assurance regarding their operational reliability. For example, a unit returned due to minor cosmetic damage may be restored to working order and offered for sale at a reduced price.
The availability of such devices addresses several important factors. It provides consumers with an opportunity to acquire advanced technology at a more accessible price point. This promotes wider adoption of smart wearable technology. Furthermore, it contributes to a more sustainable consumption model by extending the lifespan of existing electronics, reducing electronic waste, and lessening the environmental impact associated with manufacturing new devices. Historically, the pre-owned electronics market has grown substantially, driven by both economic and environmental considerations.
