Apple Watch Series 5 (GPS + Cellular, 40MM) - Silver Aluminum Case with White Sport Band (Renewed)

I bought this watch in 2023 and it’s still doing great! I did switch the band out for a sport loop Velcro one, but otherwise that’s all I’ve changed. It holds a charge all day and tracks my heart rate and steps. It alerts me when I leave my phone behind and never has connectivity issues. I have POTS, so I used it originally to track my heart rate. Now I use it to track workouts and dragon boating practices. It works perfect in the water (make sure to turn on the water proofing first) too.

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.

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.

Awesome light weight Apple Watch. Syncs with my IPhone Mini 13.One slight glitch. I am a swimmer and this is really no big deal: I cannot load Swim.com. However I can use Apple's exercise app so all is well.

Update. Several days ago the seller responded with instructions to clear the data on this phone. When that didn’t work seller sent additional instructions. Last night I was able to clear this watch & pair with my iPhone. I really appreciate the seller’s response & assistance. I’ve canceled my return.Watch came with dead battery. Once I had it charged it required a passcode indicating it hadn’t been unpaired. Very frustrating & disappointed. Do not recommend this seller.

I love my Apple Watch! Came perfect! No scratches or nothing! Paired super easy to my phone! Just like seller’s description! Came pretty fast! No complaints from me!

Received it quicker than thought and it came in good condition. Love it. Thank you!

I ordered this last fall and have constantly had issues with the battery not charging past 80-90% ! It would take the entire night 9pm-7am just to charge up. I just Dealt with it because I knew it was refurbished and as a disabled person, I just needed the accommodation of the watch. 2 weeks ago it stopped turning on completely! It won’t even charge. I took it into an Apple Store and they told me that it should have never had any of these issues, despite being refurbished and I should have contacted the seller once I noticed issues (oops) because it seems like I got a dud.Last month it stopped charging completely and won’t even turn on. I’ve tried multiple official Apple chargers… nothing. I’ve tried 2-3 different online tech tutorials to try to figure it out, nothing.Just be aware it may not hold charge and it may just die randomly.I have reached out to the seller and am just waiting for a reply and hoping they can remedy the situation!
