Apple Watch Series 5 (GPS, 40MM) - Space Gray Aluminum Case with Black Sport Band (Renewed)

Purchased for my son’s birthday (10 year old), he loves it and I love the features I am able to do on Apple family so it isn’t a distraction at school and am able to see his location accurately at all times. Had no trouble setting the cellular up. It was great.I also purchased a second for my nine year old daughter who shares the same birthday month with her brother, I did have trouble during setting up cellular, the watch would not acknowledge her password to her newly created Apple account and was on the phone with both Verizon and Apple for a total of 3.5 hours. Neither could help, I later figured out that I had to log in to my daughter’s Apple account via the internet and erase then remove the device under Apple Find My Devices and unpair it after. That is all something Apple could not think during the hours long conversation I was with them on the phone.In sum, the Apple Watches are great. No issues anymore and I will be purchasing more products in the future. The issue is not the watches.

I was concerned about buying this watch, but the one I had for years just did not work any longer. Since I was accustomed to an Apple, it was given to me as a gift. Since I'm retired and could not expect another Apple watch as a gift, I decided to do the next best thing, buy a refurbished one. I bought one it came as stated and it works well. As a matter of fact, it works better because it was more updated than the Apple Watch I had. Very good buy for me and my daughter in law set it up for me I could have done it, it's pretty easy. The watch and band were in perfect condition not a scratch any where.

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.

It’s real lol , for some reason I thought it wouldn’t be but everything works well, watch is beautiful and easy to setup thanks to Apple easy setup process but only compliant is I bought the watch new like it says on the listing but it came with a few small scratches to the screen and the aluminum case and also battery life on 70%

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.
