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

Used 🤔 I wonder if it still has the previous owners sweet on it 🤢
Swisher sweet? Yes, he loved him some cherry cigars…

This is almost the $425 trade in value that Apple is giving for it.
I noticed that as well.

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.
I have the original Apple Watch 1, 6, 7, and my wife 6. Zero issues on any of them. the 6 and 7s have 85% battery life. I use mine alot. The 1s still work. I dont know the battery left.
Not one single issue.

So tempted! I've loved the looks of the Ultra since it was first introduced. Not sure which strap to get though. Will sleep on it and decide tomorrow.

You can get any new strap from China on Aliexpress / Temu for like 2 bucks shipped… don't worry about selecting a strap. They are all available on there for cheap.

Which means they just took a wet paper towel to remove bodily fluids! Probably still attached to someone's number! Remember these devices can be carrier banned also, got one from Ebay which Verizon would not activate!

I'm in for one certified refurbished. For info:

If you dig on their site, they have 3 conditions, and it sounds like the difference is just wear and tear. Even this certified refurbished condition is not certified by Apple, but should be "like new". Here is a screenshot of their condition descriptions from their site:

They also have "certified refurbished" which comes to $479 [a4c.com]after the discount code. Not sure why OP didn't include that, I'm in for one of those, it seems like the best deal to me. This condition should be like new.

a4c is great; they usually have some great deals on stainless models as well. Picked up a series 4 SS 44mm a few years ago and had Apple change the battery for $99 last month.

Their pricing occasionally makes no sense; I've seen newer models sell for less than older models, so be sure to sort by price.

edit: the reason you want the stainless and ultra models is that the screen is sapphire, which means little to no scratching. And the stainless case is harder to scratch as well (not sure about the ultra).

I know but I'm a bit ocd when it comes to these things. Some Googling suggests that the ocean band is the one to get.

One thing I really like about the Ultra is that the screen is flat. This means that screen protectors can cover the entire glass (sapphire).

Quote from NikoZ :
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.)
we'll see Smilie
