Apple Watch Ultra [GPS + Cellular 49mm] Titanium Case with Midnight Ocean Band, One Size (Renewed Premium)

Went with premium and it’s flawless!
After looking at listings for a LONG time, I landed on getting the renewed “premium” which cost slightly more – and it was absolutely the right choice. The watch looked brand new without a single visible flaw, included an OEM band and charger, and even has a one-year return/refund policy (that feature alone seemed worth the extra cost!). Fit was perfect and activation was a breeze. Battery came with 100% of original capacity and performance has been amazing – at full charge, I’ll easily get two days out of a charge. Based on this, renewed premium is the way to go!

Been a major headache
Only thing is 1st had issues with the touch screen not working then set it up for a return. The next day… The screen started working again also just throwing it in there that I’ve did a reboot a total of 20 times. Back to story. I then went in to panic mode thinking ok I’m returning it I’ll buy one from Best Buy I received there’s but there version wasn’t in the best of condition so I decided to keep the one I got from Amazon this particular one canceled the return process upsetting UPS. Then thought ok keeping the watch fine and dandy right. No… I called back to Verizon after one day I sat on the phone with them and I kid you not 4 hours trying to get them to get the cellular up. Finally the next day I had a guy from Verizon finally set up cellular it was working fine until about 20 minutes. Got a call from Verizon asking if it was still working I was driving in the car not thinking anything of it until I got home told myself it’s working I’ll turn all my setting back on, as soon as I turned the WiFi back on I lost cellular AGAN. Called Appel support they did a diagnostic scan and said nothing was wrong with the watch. WRONG!! So later that night I decided ok cellular isn’t working I just deal with it and have it just synced with my phone again road block needless to say I’m back at square one touch screen isn’t working again. Ugh so now im at a loss don’t know if I can still return it it has no cellular connection, touch screen isn’t working, and I’m feeling slightly embarrassed to return it again. I really hope I’m not setting here with a busted watch out $565 and $120 in activation fees on Verizon. I really don’t know what to do at this point. But do I recommend buying any type of refurbished or renewed Apple Watch? That would be a hard NO!!! If you don’t want the headache don’t do it.

No regrets!
I was rather hesitant to purchase a Renewed Apple product, and to be honest the only reason I considered it was because, for the first time ever I was fresh off the heels of a terrible experience with Apple themselves. This is now my 5th Apple Watch, the one purchased prior, was me finally upgrading to the 7th gen cellular version which I only had less than a year, the back glass in my opinion exploded and cracked when it was on the charger, however I was informed by Apple staff that I must’ve dropped it or hit it, no way it could’ve cracked on the charger when it snapped to it or overheated … because dropping an Apple Watch or hitting it somehow made more sense, when the front glass hadn’t a scuff or mark on it, was told I couldn’t get back glass replaced due to supply issues, I’d be better off just buying new watch etc and so on… I have next to 25 Apple products, and not one have been damaged, still have first iPad, still holds charge, first Apple Watch, undamaged and still holds charge and so on. In any event I was in to heck with it mode…. I need an Apple Watch for its almost a necessity for me now at work sad to say. I wanted a larger screen so I figured I’d give this a try, I am not disappointed in the least so far, in fact only impressed as this by far is the best Apple Watch out of the 5 I own, that all still work. Back to the 7th gen with cracked back glass, it as well still operates, but because the glass where all the vital sensors are held is cracked, it sent all of the sensors in overdrive and cut my battery life on it by 75%, so usable but just not reliable any longer. I will hold onto it in case I can find someone to change the screen.This Ultra watch is fascinating, the battery life is incredible in comparison to all previous models… currently on wrist right now at 48hrs and it’s at 59%… a winner! larger screen makes it easier to see the details and so on. The delivery was on time, well packaged, easy setup, and not one reason to contact seller… I am 100% satisfied with product and seller, and will use them in the future if I perhaps need them… thanks !
