These Grade A refurbished Apple phones and watches can be a strong value when the unit is clean and fully functional, with some iPhone 13 mini and watch purchases arriving in great shape and even showing 100 percent battery health. The main appeal is lower pricing on newer Apple gear, but battery condition is a recurring concern, especially on Apple Watch Ultra and older iPhones. Several units arrived with heavy scratches, dents, dead batteries, or activation problems from blacklisted IMEIs. A one year warranty and easy returns help, but the refurb grading looks inconsistent.

  • Apple Watch battery replacement can be done with basic tools and careful resealing, which may reduce repair friction for DIY-minded buyers.

  • Apple Watch battery replacement can be performed without expecting Apple service if the buyer is comfortable with screen lifting and resealing steps.

  • Apple Watch Ultra 1 buyers can potentially avoid immediate battery concerns if the refurbished unit arrives with strong battery health readings.

  • Some iPhone Grade A refurbs arrive with minimal cosmetic wear and high battery health readings, which supports a smoother day-one experience.

  • Some Grade A iPhones and watches arrive with significant defects such as dead units, charging failures, or heavy scratches and dents.

  • Refurbished Apple Watch Ultra 1 battery health is uncertain and may be limited to around 85% health, which can feel unsettling.

  • First-generation Apple Watch Ultra may not receive watchOS 27 updates, which can limit future software support.

  • Some iPhone refurbs may fail carrier activation due to an IMEI blacklist, which can force returns through customer support.

$265 for ultra 1 seems pretty cool. Just wish the batteries were refreshed; "at least 85% health" is spooky.
Totally valid concern. Bought iPhone 13 July last year from them. It's dead now, battery swollen pushing the screen upward.

Replacing the battery in an Apple Watch is relatively easy I just replaced the one in my SE $5 battery
Explain briefly please. Did you need any special tools? Lose waterproofing? Where did you get guidance, MacFixit? Apple? YouTube?

We bought a "grade A" stainless steel series 9 last week; arrived dead, won't charge. FWIW...

It's one screw once you lift off the screen , the tools come with the battery , you unscrew the bracket lift the tab and peel the battery out I didn't even put the screw back in , hardest part is lifting the screen , just reseal it with b-7000 adhesive and put a clamp or weight on it for 24 hours , only downside is it's not water resistant anymore unless you use a replacement gasket

FYI b7000 is not recommended for Apple Watches. The screen will eventually lift. Real good repair shops especially refurbishers use cold pressed glue. And always put all the screws back on. Don't expect any water resistance whatsoever. Apple Watch batteries can be hit or miss and I say this as someone in the cell repair shop game since 2012

Works fine ,the screen lifted anyway before I changed the battery , use any adhesive you want doesn't have to be b7000, I did t want to deal with a replacement gasket then you would have to remove the screen cables and now you start making the repair more difficult , mine is an SE if it lasts another year it's better then nothing and I already said don't expect it to be water resistant

This is true. Well regarded tech reviewers say you'll just miss out on using Siri AI and security updates. If those aren't important
Apple OS 27 series is showing major performance gains across the board, especially from older devices.

Apple has long said this would be a performance boosting release.

Very glad I opted for S9 over Ultra couple years ago, I said the new CPU could make the difference. It sure did.

My order was denied? Never seen this before - it said to try to re-order but anyone else have this with Woot?

EDIT: nevermind, issue with Amazon Pay.

Picked up a 16e for mom. She's currently on a 12 mini and very frustrated with battery life.
Check the good ole Wally.. online, for certain carriers (AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile).. they have some 16E and 17E.. anywhere from $349 to $589 depending on storage sizes (128 and 256 GB varieties I think)
