Attached is their "Condition Guide" for the three condition categories in case it helps. I noticed some posts asking about the condition of these watches. Basically Certified Refurb is like new, Reburb has some signs of wear, Pre-owned has even more signs of wear.

Your comment cannot be blank.

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

Quote from jeepin79 :
My first one has warranty until April but I decided to give it another try and order a second one hoping for a longer warranty and the option to get the Apple Care. I will send back the one with the shorter warranty.

I guess I'm a bit skeptical how a nearly 1yr old watch can still have 100% battery capacity, unless the battery was replaced in which case doesn't that compromise the water resistance?

Returned first watch I received that had a few scuffs and warranty ending in April. I decided to roll the dice and order another one which arrived today. Watch is clean and warranty expiring in December 2024. Still have 30 days to add apple care. Definitely happy I made the switch.

What I've read is that even though all watches start out saying 100% battery, some batteries are in excess of 100%. The OS just doesn't show it. No idea how true that is.

Sorry if this has been answered before, my Watch says it has warranty until Dec 4, 2024 and I can purchase Apple Care+ Coverage until Feb 4th, 2024.

I'm not sure I followed. I thought I would be able to add Coverage anytime before the remaining warranty expires but this is telling me I have only a few weeks left to decide on that.

Can someone please explain?

EDIT: the watch is pristine and flawless. Totally happy with this purchase
Quote from packer72790 :
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but believe you only have 60 days from original purchase date to add AppleCare+
I received my watch that had been originally purchased almost a year before I received it. I went to the local Apple store when it had just a few days left on the existing standard warranty. The store inspected the watch and approved the Apple Care+ purchase. I had one more hoop to jump through over the phone but YMMV. There's a post I made about a week ago explaining it more in-depth. I now have protection until Dec 30 2025.

I'm glad to hear it worked out! IIRC you ordered the Midnight Ocean version, is that right? Also, did you have to pay for return shipping?

I just got the watch. 100% battery health, just if anyone is curious. Looks pristine to me. I did not know this was standard (It is) but it does not come with a brick only a charging cable (USB-C).

Which version did you get and does it still have warranty coverage? You can check the warranty here https://checkcoverage.apple.com/

Ended up returning my watch. Bought a couple of ultra 2's from FB Marketplace for $580 each, Dec 15th purchase date.
Just be careful as sometimes private sellers are selling watches that are on finance plans with carriers (so little out of pocket cost to seller). Then they report them as lost/stolen and you have a watch that's blacklisted...

Thanks - both were Midnight Ocean. I did not have to pay for the return shipping. I contacted customer service via email and they sent me a free return label right away.
