Will delayed boot time affect Apple Watch trade in value?

My Apple Watch works fine but recently it’s taking longer to boot up (about 2 minutes). Will this effect trade in value?

WatchOS 9.2 update broke my series 4 A couple weeks ago I updated my hardly used Apple Watch Series 4 Nike edition from watchOS 8.7 to 9.2 as suggested by the watch app. My watch downloaded the update successfully but when it installed it, I came back to it 1 hour later flashing the apple logo and a black screen intermittently. I gave it another hour before looking up what the issue may be, and couldn’t find anything. I took it in for repair after nothing fixed the reboot cycle. Apple Store sent it away for diagnostic and said that they tried de-installing the latest OS, but discovered at that point that the “wifi module was broken”. Nothing was wrong with my watch prior to installing the update, and the only repair solutions would be to pay replacement fee of $350 which is ridiculous. Any suggestions? Maybe any suggestions of where I can get trade in value?

Worst onboarding experience in the world So, I finally decided to give your damn Apple Watch a try. I already regret it. For the last five hours, I have experienced the worst pairing and activation process of any Apple product (or maybe of any product). It still does not work because some genius decided that it is a good idea to force the update of the Watch before you ever get to use it. The update itself takes hours and hours and finally gets stuck at Paused because I supposedly need to connect to a damn WiFi. The WiFi I am connected to and I am writing to you right now. Of course, when I got the Apple Watch out of the box it was out of battery too. There goes the “magical” unboxing experience of Apple in every way possible. 5 hours in and I still can’t use the damn thing. Really disappointed.

Apple watch Series 8 - Trade in I bought an apple watch series 8. The watch is like new, however I am a little disappointed with the battery life. I've run at least two tests at the Apple Store and Best Buy, I've updated the IOS version but the battery barely makes it through the day. Is it possible to trade in my current watch to an Apple Watch Ultra?
