Apple Watch Series 8 [GPS + Cellular, 45mm] - Starlight Aluminum Case with Starlight Sport Band, M/L (Renewed)

This isn't a long term review, but if anything changes I'll update it. As of now the watch is amazing. I see after one person mentioned presentation, that improved greatly with mine lol. Packaging aside, everything is working great, battery life is 100%. The entire watch looks and feels brand new from the apple store. The first day had me seriously concerned about the battery lasting though, but apparently the watch was just doing a lot of downloading and setting up in the background which was decreasing the battery by at least 20% per hour which I thought seemed nuts. After changing some settings and getting things set up efficiently plus the set up process finalizing, everything is perfect. Under normal circumstances it's been on for over an hour now with a few text alerts coming through etc. and battery is still 100%. At this rate it should last a solid amount of time. The apps on this are really cool. The health stuff like heart monitoring and blood oxygen levels are awesome to have. The workout apps are set up pretty nice as well. It would be nice if there were a better way to do updates and whatnot though than doing it via your iphones bluetooth. Like youtube reviews etc. mention it's sooooo slow. I thought something was wrong with the watch at first. Set up and downloading watchOS 10 take a solid 3-4 hours. The install is beyond slow doing it via bluetooth. Going through this thing with a fine tooth comb and getting every single app optimized for battery efficiency etc. took a good 12 plus hours and a ton of youtube videos all mentioning different little tips and tricks. Lots of troubleshooting occurred too. The complications on the watches face screen weren't functioning right which required to reset the location and privacy data in the phone plus a couple other steps. The watch was doing a lot of weird stuff that was destroying it's battery and wasting storage at rapid speeds. That's all just apple, nothing to do with it being renewed or the seller etc. They all run the same software in them regardless. Just being real about it, the set up process of this watch wasn't pleasant and kinda made me disappointed in the purchase initially but once I got that out of the way it's working incredibly well. Also this being a cellular version, you need to contact your carrier in advance and register this with them via the IMEI number from the phone's about section. You'll just get errors when trying to set up cellular prior to that. All in all though, the watch is great, and I love the design, especially how easy it is to switch out straps of whatever style or color you want. Those are much cheaper than I expected them to be as well so I immediately grabbed a handful of different options. Definitely recommend anyone interested in an apple watch to try this. It shows up in brand new condition, these only came out less than a year ago so even original parts are still very lightly used with a long life ahead of them. Even with a few frustrations, it gets two thumbs up from me.

Great producGreat product! The Apple Watch works exactly as expected and has been a great addition to my daily routine. Setup was quick and easy, the display is clear and responsive, and the performance is smooth. I really appreciate the fitness tracking features and how seamlessly it connects with my iPhone. Battery life has been solid and the overall build quality feels premium. Very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it.t !

I like this product a lot. I bought it after it was refurbished, but it was amazon refurbished. there was no scratches on the screen, just around the body, like they said. It looked good, and the color of it was nice. I think it is very useful, especially for the price of it. I was surprised it was so cheap. On my home screen, i keep on heart rate monitor, and i’ll usually look at it. i think it’s pretty accurate since if im sitting down, it’ll be a lot slower then when im up and running around. I would say the heart rate monitoring is good. Finally, it charges pretty quickly. One thing that i was upset about personally was that it only had 82% battery health. However, i was only guaranteed that the health would be 80% or higher. I expected it to be more, but i got what i paid for. Finally, i’ve been using the sleep monitoring for it to see how much i sleep, and it’s been really nice. So many cool features. Definitely recommend!

The watch itself is spotless. It looks like new so really nothing to complain about here. Also, the wristband looks as if it was new no scratches no signs of usage so all good on this side. The battery is acceptable as best. It has a 84% health which is OK and if you do a careful battery management, you can still get your 36 hours out of such a battery. What was really disappointing and not very Amazon-like is the very, very cheap charging cable that came with the watch it was so unreliable that charging was interrupted at least a dozen times during a full charge and each time the watch alerted me that it started charging, which especially at night was really a nuisance, so not overly excited and a little bit disappointed because I’m used other kind of quality from Amazon. I had to order a new charging cable which set me back $16 so the ,exceptional’ price of $ 179 ended up to be much closer to $ 200 and that is not really great because for 80 bucks more I could’ve gotten a brand new series 11 watch. I will most certainly not buy a refurbished iWatch Amazon again.

When I first received this product, the watch was dead dead. It took a good couple hours for it to finally charge enough to be operational. After it was charged and fully updated, I have not had any issues with it. Maybe a slight issue with touch sensitivity on the screen, but it is inconsistent and doesn't cause any issues for me. Minor inconvenience at best. Shipping was quick. Price was solid, for being a refurbished. Quality was great. Compatible with my Iphone 14 and new IOS 26. The strap was a little large for me but I made it work. I have had an iWatch before, this was just an upgrade, but it is easy to use. Youtube is a great place to look at all the options you have for this watch. One thing I was excited about was the added temp vitals. It takes about 5 sleep cycles (in a row) for it to start giving you data, but it seems to be accurate. Heart rate and other vital recordings work perfectly. I have a better time using this watch than my prior iWatch. (I believe a 4 or 5?). For electronics, I typically purchase refurbished. Sometimes they can come in damaged and not functioning properly, but I have had no issues with this watch from this seller. 10/10 would recommend.

Awesome product. Felt like I bought this directly from Apple. Not a single scratch. And 100% battery life!

Ya casi 2 años con el y sigue wow ! Muy buena compra la vdd, le cambie la correo por otra, pero la que trae igual está padre sola ue es más sport y para el día a día o outfits más cute no me gustaba tanto jaja n pero el reloj excelente, funciona bien, carga super bien y mide todo bien, actividad, sueño, etc !

10/10 el Apple Watch es nuevo la batería está en 100% llego con el cargador original, súper feliz con mi compra.

Funciona muy bien al principio batallé poquito para que agarrara pero sin problema. El único detalle es que dura menos de un día la bateria

Great

Si tienes problemas para dormir o en el corazón, este es perfecto para que monitoree todo, tus fases del sueño, latidos por minuto, etc. Si bien en mi caso mi hipertiroidismo (central, no es causa de la tiroides, muy complejo) me ha hecho más consciente que el reloj para medir mi corazón sin necesidad ni de tomarme el pulso, sólo estoy consciente del estado de mi corazón, para dormir me ha ayudado bastante y entender mis fases del sueño, me ha dado tranquilidad, sólo es de recargarlo a la hora de levantarme y la batería dura sin problemas, no hizo falta descargar ni comprar cosas en el iphone, en mi opinión el reloj hace su trabajo mejor sólo, también hace ECG en 30 segundos, maravilloso para la salud, si lo quieres como un simple reloj que extiende a tu iphone, no creo que valga mucho la pena y menos por el precio, menos uno nuevo. Otro detalle es que puedes hacer llamadas desde el reloj y la verdad sí se ve futurista. En resúmen, excelente para monitorear tu sueño y corazón, sin dejar a un lado consultas médicas.
