It's hard to say, refurbished from anyone but Apple directly is almost certainly higher risk. The majority of these products seems to be ones that have been returned, so did they return it because they wore it for two weeks didn't like it, wanted a new color, scratched it, or did it have a real problem. There's no way to know. I'd also image that their testing probably amounts to some general employee playing with it to see if it seems like it works, it's hardly going to be a rigorous testing that tests all functions, features, battery life etc. etc. There's also the "cosmetic blemish" issue where what's just cosmetic to one person may not be to another.

Target does offer a 6 month "limited" warranty on these, so it seems like if there was a real issue you'd almost certainly figure it out in 6 months. However, I could find no details on the limits of warranty etc.

They also have refurbished 45mm 9 series GPS+Cellular for $312.

Price seems good, as long as it really works and the condition is good.

I couldn't find a 6mo warranty. Only the 30 day return policy. I think the lowest I saw on here for a 45mm gps aluminum was $279. I'll take a shot since I was looking on ebay used. I would think this would be less risk of unknown damage. Like a cobbled together watch to go dead when you go swimming.

It's definitely a lottery of sorts. I bought a "like new" from Amazon and I think someone just ordered a few, picked the color they liked, then sent the rest back or something like that. When I added it to my Apple account, the timer started for a full year of Apple Care (plus 60 days to buy Apple Care Plus). So at least in my case, I think it truly was more or less new.

I think the real risk with Target refurbished is the lack of Applecare and in the inability to extend it. But I agree, six months should be sufficient granted they cover anything reasonable (so, obviously not accidental damage or something like that).

Price seems reasonable for current generation in 45mm so long as it's in excellent condition. But worth adding that I only paid $10 more for the like new which was brand new as far as I'm concerned, from Amazon. Might be worth waiting and watching.. especially since we don't know what Target's refurb process actually entails.

I think Target had the 45mm red edition down to something like $265 in February.. might be better off just waiting to see where prices go when the Series 10/X drops presumably in a couple of months.
