Quick Review:Is the watch south of $300? If yes, add it to the cart. Do you hate it? Return it.Justify Your Purchase:1. Do you have your phone around for the most part?2. Do you usually drive places on your own?3. Is this purchase more for structure vs. leisure/fitness?4. Will you be around a polluted or dusty environment?5. Are you experiencing stress, insomnia, or health complications?6. For woman: Do you care about menstrual, ovulation, and symptom tracking while on your cycle?*If yes to 3 questions with no interest in upgrading soon, purchase.==== Review: Overall 4.5/5 =====I hesitated to buy the watch because it was labeled “renewed.” Ironically enough, the product did me one better by not turning on. I struggled to contact the Seller because of Amazon and not the business. The watch did not work for the first 2-3 weeks because of the charger, but it’s perfect now.Trust me when I say the mic quality is impressive. I’m not flashy, but I believe this purchase is worth it just with the mic ALONE. You’ll see me eating ramen for the next month to rock this! The watch makes me feel energized and productive.I find myself using the watch more than my phone. There’s not one connection issue or call drop like there is on my actual phone. The box looked a little dinked, yet authentic. I assume the previous owner didn’t keep the box in shape. No scratches, the product includes a soft band, and the customer service is prompt and understanding.I can only choose 4 or 5, so I decided on 5 because of the merchandiser.==== End Review: Overall 4.5/5 =====Series 7 v 8:The Series 8 has Bluetooth 5.3, and the Series 7 has Bluetooth 5.0.The 8 has temperature sensors that separate your data from outside factors like weather. If you don’t care about Dust protection, Crash detection, Ovulation predictions, or System trackers, go for the Series 7 for all the same features for ~10.Pricing:If you want to save cash, go for the Series 6 to save ~$100. It has all the same features as the Series 7. Its only differences are the 1mm screen and a slightly slower chip that won’t be noticeable for another 2-3 years. You will also have the option to add a cellular data plan for $10/month to purchase before prices are closer to the initial 7 or 8 models.Cellular Data Plan v Raw Dawg:The data plan is if you are typically 100m away from your phone. For all my struggle babies, 100m is a little more than half a football field or ~4 times the size of a basketball court. Do people run without their phones? Cellular data is ideal for hiking, amusement/water parks, and running because you can leave your phone locked away.

Great watch, just as new, but watch band was not genuine Apple
Watch was great and behaved as new. I ordered this with the midnight sport band (rubber, plastic). However, the band seemed aftermarket. It was nice because it had two nubs to hold the band attached to the wrist. However, the band is more rubbery and flexible than the genuine apple band. As a resulty, it is more difficult to put the watch band on because you have to squeeze the execss band material through a hole and between the skin of your wrist and the inside of the watch band. Since the material is too rubbery/flexible, it does not push in easily and you have to coax and battle this every time you put hte watch on your wrist. An honest pain in the butt. Lesson…GET THE REAL GENUINE WATCH BAND! Whether you purhcase this refurbished item and get the real band from Apple, or just get this item directly from Apple, make sure you get a genuine apple band. Good luck!

Might as well be brand new
I had purchased 2 other “renewed” Apple Watches from other sellers and had to return them as they came dirty and damaged. I am extremely pleased with this purchase. It came in an original box. Absolutely no scratches or blemishes at all. The most amazing thing was the total battery capacity is 100%. I honestly cannot tell that this is a used watch. I would highly recommend buying from this seller over any others.

Al principio el reloj se volvió loco, puso la pantalla en blanco y se frisaba pero después lo reinicie y todo está bien

Llegó en excelentes condiciones, no tiene marcas o raspones. La caja es la original, llego antes de lo previsto, dos días antes. Compraría de nuevo sin pensarlo

Excelente estado, todo perfecto y bien

Llego en malas condiciones tanto de la pantalla como de batería (se sobre calienta demasiado)
