Apple Watch Series 11 46mm drops to 1,990 yuan on JD.com via national-subsidy trade-in

Price and deal

It has been reported that Apple (苹果) Watch Series 11 46mm, officially priced at 3,199 yuan, can be had for as little as 1,990 yuan on JD.com (京东) after a national-subsidy trade-in offer. JD’s national subsidy initially cuts the price to about 2,110 yuan. Choose the trade-in option and meet the minimum valuation, and the platform’s additional swap subsidy can push the final out‑the‑door price down to 1,990 yuan.

How the trade-in works

What’s the catch? Reportedly, the used device being traded in must be estimated at more than 100 yuan to qualify. When buyers select “以旧换新” (trade in) and the old device passes that 100-yuan threshold, JD applies a trade-in subsidy starting at 120 yuan — bringing the math from 2,110 down to approximately 1,990. Availability and exact subsidy amounts may vary by model, region and stock, so check JD.com for your specific transaction.

Product highlights

It has been reported that the Series 11’s core upgrades concentrate on display durability and protection. Apple says the watch uses an ultra-durable glass screen with scratch resistance twice that of the Series 10, and a wide-angle OLED LTPO3 panel delivering up to 2,000 nits for an always-on Retina display. The watch also ships with a built-in health suite capable of recording heart rate, respiratory rate, wrist temperature and blood oxygen (SpO2).

Broader context

The promotion comes as Chinese platforms lean on national subsidy programs and trade-in incentives to stimulate consumer upgrades and support device recycling. For Western readers: these are domestic policies and retail mechanisms rather than export or trade-policy measures, but they shape local demand and pricing for global brands such as Apple. As always, offers are time‑limited and subject to verification on JD.com, and it has been reported that final prices depend on the assessed value of the traded device.
