I was pleasantly surprised by this purchase! The watch arrived super fast, and although it didn’t come in the original Apple Watch box, that’s not a dealbreaker for me. For a refurbished Apple Watch, it looks amazing—honestly, you wouldn’t even know it’s refurbished. The band is an official Apple Sport Band in brand-new condition, and it came with an Apple Watch charger (though not the block). Since I already had an Apple Watch charger, I’ve been using that one just for peace of mind—call it my little OCD moment! 😊 Before purchasing, I read some reviews where people mentioned issues like the watch not turning on, poor battery life, or updates taking forever. I did notice it took a while to charge initially, but after that, everything went smoothly. The update and syncing process with my iPhone did take a bit of time, but that’s normal for Apple Watches (especially refurbished ones). For anyone wondering, remember that Apple Watches are not like iPhones—they have different battery performance expectations. Speaking of the battery, mine arrived with 84% battery capacity. While that might seem a bit low, it’s within the typical range for a refurbished Apple Watch. For anyone who wants a new battery, Apple offers a replacement service for a fee. If you have AppleCare+ and your battery capacity drops below 80%, the replacement might even be free. After using the watch for two days, I’m really impressed. It’s fast, responsive, and everything works perfectly. I’m a big Apple fan, so I had high hopes, and this purchase met my expectations. When you buy something refurbished on Amazon, it’s always a bit of a gamble—but this time, it paid off! Highly recommend this if you’re looking for a reliable refurbished Apple Watch. Read more
Love love love my “new” watch lol I ordered a stainless steel series 5 in Excellent condition and this watch is amazing! Came in pristine condition, no scratches, everything worked beautifully, setup was a breeze, connected right away to my iPhone 12. Just one issue tho, battery health was teetering just below the guaranteed 80%, that was the only thing, I reached out to the company and their customer service and support was top tier, they offered to replace the watch but everything else was so perfect with it I just didn’t wanna part from it. So me and the company worked it out and came to an agreement that worked best for me and I ended up keeping the watch and receiving a partial refund. With that being said, surprisingly no issues with the battery life so far, keeps a full charge all day and half the night. I work overnights, so sometimes I have my watch on from 9am - 4am that night. Battery makes it thru the day with juice to spare, usually only hits about 35 - 23% by the time I finally get to sit it on the dock. And I do everything with this thing, I run about 2-3 miles per day, have to keep up with a toddler, plus his swim classes, boxing classes and much more. So far, this watch has stood up to the test! The specific seller I purchased from was WOOT, they have great ratings, and really good customer service, I would highly recommend them. Sold by woot, but shipped by Amazon. So very happy with my purchase. **Last pic is of my watch with a different watch band, band did not come with the original purchase. Read more
Came to me in brand new condition, i was unsure when ordering. I have been using it everyday and could not be happier with my purchase. Ordered a second one for my spouse. No scratches, no dings, looks great and unbelievable for the price. A great way to determine if you really want an Apple Watch. Read more
Do not purchase these watches, read the reviews. 3 watches, all duds. TLDR: I bought 3 of these watches that all had issues and now have to wait up to 30 days for a refund I may not receive. I am confident they are replacing the glass on these watches sub par and then making them no longer waterproof. Once they have water damage, they say they will not refund your money, despite Apple watches being “swim proof” according to the site. The watches said they were sold by “woot” but then the box instructions had a different seller. I bought 3 of these watches for my kids about 10 days ago. From the start I had concerns because it seemed like they would not charge to 100% and set up was a little clunky. I also read previous reviews about the glass breaking easy, so I put screen protectors on them immediately. I have had an apple watch since they first came out, replacing them every 2-3 years, so I am have some experience of their capabilities and how they feel. In 10 years I have never once broken the glass on a watch and I do not wear screen protectors and I am your typical “klutz”. I agree with another reviewer that these watch glasses are not being replaced with apple quality glass but I am not an expert. Here is the issue with each watch This watch never charged higher than 94% despite the battery health being greater than 85%. I thought maybe it was the generic charger so I charged it with my apple watch charger. This did not fix the issue, and it would still never charge higher than 94% usually stopped around 91% even overnight. Within 5-6 hours of use we were getting low battery warnings despite using in low power mode all day. I thought we were going to be able to keep this watch, everything seemed to be going well, it charged to 100%, the battery lasted about 10 hours. Then suddenly it appeared to not turn on and the screen started glitching on and off. There were no visible signs of damage to the screen or the watch. However, the screen always felt off and we would have issues with touching and typing on the watch. He did wear this in the shower. This watch had similar issues to the first watch with battery and maintaining a charge. However, my son was in the shower and suddenly the watch kept making emergency calls over and over. So he gets out of the shower and I take off the screen protector and the glass is cracked, despite no damage at all to the screen protector (see photos). Similar to watch 2, something always felt “off “ about this screen as well. We will see how this all plays out in the next 30 days and I may update my review more positively if the seller stands by their product. But for now, I cannot recommend anyone taking the risk on these 100% functional refurbished watches. I am waiting to leave seller feedback until I have a resolution. Read more
The Apple Watch Series 5 still holds up so well. The display is bright, the features are super responsive, and being able to leave my phone behind is a game changer. Battery life could be better, but the convenience and design make it worth it — still one of my favorite tech purchases. Read more
