I'm assuming "refurb" doesn't mean new batteries…

At least with Apple refurbs, you get a new battery. My wife has a Best Buy "geek squad" refurb Apple Watch and it dies before lunch. 80% battery health.

I received this today (Sunday around noon) in Seattle, WA, purchased Friday morning at 8am. Roughly 48 hours from purchase to wearing it - that was super fast shipping! I bought the "certified refurbished" model for $479, it arrived flawless, looks brand new. Battery Health is at 100%, so this really is a slick deal! No regrets here, I'm stoked!!

My personal experiences from A4C, I have ordered from them several times over the years. Their certified refurbished always used to look brand new, aka store returns.

But the last two orders that I made in the past month, both came very much scuffed up and very much "used". I was very much disappointed and initiated a return on one of the order. The customer service was very friendly and didn't make any fuss about processing the return and sent me a return label right away.

My recent order also came a bit scuffed up. I am a bit hesitant initiate another return in a month.

Edit: I ordered both apple (3 iPads and one iPad keyboard) and non-apple (Sony, Anker) products from them

Does "Certified Refurbished" mean Apple Refurbished? If so, this is interesting

Edit: It looks to be a grade of visual condition based on A4C self refurbishing, meaning it works like new and looks like new. It's not Apple Refurbished from what I read

No, screen is slightly brighter and 64gb storage vs 32gb on gen 1. Everything else is minor.

I'm happy sticking with my gen 1 just like all the people who reviewed the ultra 2 when it came out. Minor update, save the money and wait for the ultra 3.
As a Gen 1 owner, just +1ing on this for others considering picking one up.

Any opinions of this website? Never heard of them.
I've bought from them in past over several years & relatively expensive items. Always been pleased. Although I wouldn't take that to mean I will always be pleased. Companies change & refurbs are always hit & miss, but I would say they are decently trustworthy

No. Refurbs almost never comes with original box or packaging.

Uh you forgot the biggest change, processor update. The ultra 1 uses a 3 year old processor at this point. Apple doesn't update the watch processors every year so the ultra 3 will probably be an even smaller upgrade than the ultra 2.

This is the ultra… it has a much larger battery than the regular Apple Watch. Wearing and using it all day and it's still at 84% left since I took it off the charger this morning at 7am (it's 7pm now.) my watch is over a year old and still at 100% battery health. The watch OS settings now have battery optimization charging mode which helps battle battery degradation.
Did you get AppleCare? I'm on the fence if I should get with my new ultra

The ultra uses the same processor as the Series 8 and the series 9 (ultra 2) processor seriously has proven to be hyped up more so than functional.

It's a minimal incremental update by Apple at best. They just marketed it like it was incredible with the separate cores for offline Siri. The double tap works on all Apple Watches in accessibility settings.

You are delusional if you think gen 2 is worth it over gen 1 at this price. Gen 3 will likely be a huge update with Apple Watch Series X coming up next. (Apple always goes hard with X product releases.)

I have 5 Apple Watches and I've only hairlined cracked one screen since series 0. That hairline crack is only cosmetic and the watch still works perfectly fine. I don't find the value for Apple care for my use case. Especially since I usually upgrade every 3 generations and easily make it that far.

Apple Watch Series 0, series 3 (This one cracked after 4 years of daily gym use), series 4, series 8, and ultra 1 owner.

I only wear the ultra now. I can't go back to the regular watch design.

Thanks for sharing. I figured the Apple Ultra watch would start popping up as people trade up for the Ultra 2.
Curious if anyone has experience buying a refurbished ultra watch?
Not refurbished but can be bought cheaper from a marketplace like Mercari. I bought two that way, one for $380 and another for $420 (98% and 100% battery health), just ask seller to include shot of the battery health. Both didn't have original packaging.

Refurbish. There's a better chance that it was a return and there isn't any issue with it. Pre-owned tends to have more blemishes.

I previously didn't, but after my Series 6 died after less than 2 years, I got it on my Series 8. I work out a lot and the screen eventually stopped working altogether, no cosmetic damages at all.

Be wary of buying AWUs on Mercari. There are so many fakes - easy to spot if you know what to look for, but some are subtle enough that I'm sure the scams are working. As usual, if it seems to good to be true…
