Apple Watch Series 5 (GPS, 44MM) - Space Gray Aluminum Case with Black Sport Band (Renewed)

At first when I bought this watch, I was skeptical because of all the reviews saying that the battery life was terrible and could barely hold a charge. When I received my package today, I can confirm that it wasn’t in its original packaging, but I didn’t mind as long as the contents inside were legit and what I asked for. The watch itself was in great condition. There were minor cosmetic imperfections that you could see if you held it very close to your face, but not from an arms length away. Setting up was very easy for me as it paired with my phone with no issue. Everything on the watch seemed great as if it were brand new. I checked the maximum battery capacity which showed to be at 100%. The watch did seem to overheat a little during charging at first, but it cooled down after 5 minutes. So far, the watch does not disappoint and I’m looking forward to using it!Edit: After a couple days of using this watch, it can survive my 9 hour work shifts with about 63% left. I usually just check my notifications, respond to texts, and check my activity. There are some times where the battery will deplete unusually fast, but it lasts until the end of the day which is good enough for me. I don’t find anything wrong with charging it either.

Nice refurbished Apple Watch. Only issues were a few scratches on the watch face and battery is maximum 80% life.

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 watchThis 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.

I am very happy so far. I had to put the watch on the charger when I opened it. I left it charge for almost an hour and then it powered right up. Set up with my iPhone was so easy, just followed the steps. Everything works great so far! It is the color I ordered. The quality seems great, no screen scratches or marks anywhere on the watch. Looks new honestly! It’s day one, so I will update if anything goes wrong but so far this watch is absolutely worth the price (which is a fraction of the price if you purchase new). I still don’t know what the battery life is going to be like, but as of right now I don’t have a single complaint!

My recent acquisition of a refurbished Apple Watch Series 5 presented an interesting balance of value and a minor logistical challenge. The primary appeal of this purchase was the notable cost reduction compared to a new device, and in terms of core functionality, the watch has largely delivered on its promise. The operational performance mirrors that of a new Series 5, exhibiting the expected responsiveness, a high-quality display, comprehensive health and fitness tracking, and seamless integration within the Apple ecosystem.A point of concern, however, arose upon receipt of the product. The watch was packaged solely with the larger of the standard band sizes. Regrettably, this band proved to be unsuitable for my wrist size, necessitating the immediate procurement of a smaller, compatible band. While the initial price point of the refurbished unit was attractive, the unavoidable additional expense for a properly sized band somewhat offsets the initial cost savings.Notwithstanding this issue concerning the provided accessory, the fundamental performance of the refurbished Apple Watch Series 5 has been satisfactory. All advertised features, including GPS tracking, heart rate monitoring, and application compatibility, have operated consistently and reliably. Furthermore, the physical condition of the device suggests careful refurbishment, with minimal discernible signs of previous use.In summary, the refurbished Apple Watch Series 5 offers a financially prudent option for individuals seeking the features and capabilities of this particular smartwatch model. While prospective buyers should be prepared for the potential need to purchase a separate band to ensure optimal fit and comfort, the core device itself performs as expected and provides the anticipated user experience.
