If you’re looking to save a few bucks off your next Apple Watch purchase with an included 1-year warranty from Apple, head over to Apple’s online store.

It’s no secret, Apple products are expensive. We know it and Apple knows it. It’s a vicious cycle. So to help with the burden, the company has been pushing out refurbished devices to help folks save a few bucks. This includes iPads, Macs, and Apple TV‘s.

Last month, Apple added refurbished iPhones to its online store and this week they’re adding the Apple Watch to the mix. Prices start at $229 for the 38mm version of the first-generation model. That’s about a $40 discount from buying a new one.

As 9to5 Mac points out, Apple’s price is still higher than a lot of other folks offering refurbished Apple Watches. Target, for example, took off $70 during the holiday season.

However, refurbished Apple Watches are not only limited to the first-generation model. The online store even has a select number of the Series 2’s available, but don’t be surprised if they’re priced ridiculously high.

Either way, buying any of these gives you the full Apple experience, which also includes a 1-year warranty on your device. Sure, you’re not saving a butt-load of cash, but when it comes the holiday season, anything saved is better than nothing.
