I am an international traveller from Germany. I bought an Apple Watch end of September 2025 in the US. It was a birthday present for my daughter. Her birthday is Nov 18 - so she got the new watch last week (back in Germany) - but I bought the wrong article.
I know that I can return new products only within 14 days - how can I still return the watch and buy a more expensive model at the same time?
I couldn't find any help on the website.
I'm afraid, you will have to either bring it back yourself to the country of origin, or ship it to a trusted person in the US to return it for you at an Apple Store.

I am happy to bring it back to the US - but I missed the 14-day period
Sorry, I have missed that part in your post above.
In that case, and as the 14 days have definitely past, selling the watch to another person would be an option.
And Trade-In at Apple is probably not an option for a new Apple Watch model, and if, you would lose more money than by selling it.
