Apple Watch Series 7 (GPS, 41mm) Starlight Aluminum Case with Starlight Sport Band, Regular (Renewed)

First time smartwatch user after using a Mi Band 6 mostly as just a watch & sleep tracker for a while. I'm thoroughly impressed (and honestly pretty overwhelmed!) with this little gadget! Firstly, I got this used/refurbished so I wasn't expecting much since I've never had luck with used tech off the internet in the past. It came in the sketchiest packaging and in less than like 12 hours. Besides the odd packaging, I would've never known it wasn't brand new. Not a single scratch or fingerprint anywhere. It just looks and feels new. Asked a friend and they couldn't tell, either. Strap was easy to install. I'm not a fan of silicone watch straps, so I bought me one that breathes a little better (and is some subtle Pride lol) It's very comfortable on my wrist and I don't even notice it despite it being slightly heavier and twice as wide as my Mi Band was. The battery was completely dead and had a snake on the screen, so I asked Prof Google what to do. After about 5 minutes on the provided charger cable (which is definitely not new or legit Daddy Apple), the snake was gone and hooray watch! I'll definitely go find me a more solid charger. Battery capacity shows at 100% on the Battery Health screen and it charged to 50% very quickly. I'm still getting use to the controls and already paired it to my iPhone 13, which was really easy -- even for someone that just upgraded from a 7+ a few weeks ago. Really love that it's nice to those of us who prefer to wear watches on our right wrists. I might actually flip the device so the dial is on the bottom left. Overall, I'm just really impressed! Trying to better use technology to simplify my life and health and I'm really happy with this new tool sitting on my wrist! (Ok, and seeing my cat stare at me, tbh)

I was very upset when I shattered the face on my old watch. And by old, I mean it would have cost more to repair than to replace. So I went straight to my old friend Amazon! The watch was easy to add to my Apple account and works great, which was a good thing, because the box didn't include any instructions.

The watch was not as described in terms of an "Excellent" description by Amazon. I received the battery at 79% of original battery life, in which the watch was advertised to be >80%. This resulted in the watch draining from 100% to 0% in less than 10 hours without any use. When used, the watch's battery may be even shorter, with a full battery life of only approximately a few hours rather than the 14-15 hour expected battery life at 80% battery capacity, or the 3.5 hour expected battery life when using GPS. Although "Excellent" condition descriptions specify that there are no signs of cosmetic damage visible when the product is held 12 inches away, this cosmetic condition was more between good and acceptable. The rotating bezel had its paint completely chipped off, allowing one to see the metal underneath. It was obvious that the prior owner used this watch without a case and allowed further scratches and dents by the edges, back, and bezel. These were not extra dirt or smudges, as I cleaned them off with a detailing brush and alcohol wipes. Overall, I'm quite disappointed with this refurbished model. I am grateful it was easy to disable phone tracking, unlink cloud accounts, and perform a factory reset to return this.

After struggling with generic smart watches intended for elderly family members, we switched them from Android to iPhone and picked up one of these refurbished Apple Watches to rescue the sanity of all parties. We swapped out the watchband and snapped on a screen protector with the desired color scheme and a year and a half later, we couldn’t be more pleased with the quality, connectivity, screen quality, comfort, appearance and ease of use when paired with an iPhone (also refurbished). The transition has been so successful, AirPod Pros have been introduced to the fray much to the pleasure of our elderly family members. Apple seems to understand the tech limitations of the elderly and improved the ability to troubleshoot via FaceTime calls. Well worth the consideration!

I purchased this item for my Christmas gift and I would recommend it to anyone that loves Apple watches. It was a great starter watch for myself and I would recommend this product

The watches work and look great. However, the chargers do not work so we had to go and buy three new chargers for each watch. I thought that was kind of crappy considering we’re spending so much money for three watches and the chargers don’t work.

some little tiny scratches at the top but nothing that i wouldn’t do myself. The battery capacity for the one i received is 100%. I think this purchase is a steal! decently recommend. i got this in the BLUE COLOR the fit is really good and durability is great! i have not tested if it is water resistant

Update a few months later. I returned the watch after writing the previous review; no problems, so the vendor was fine. I purchased a new watch a non-Apple store. I had the same problem charging the new one. It simply would not charge with the charger that came in the new box, so the refurbished watch was probably as good as new. I purchased a travel charger at Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/NEWDERY-Cordless-Portable-Wireless-Magnetic/dp/B07ZFVYNRQ/ref=sr_1_24?crid=TEHVWGXQ16MK&keywords=apple%2Bwatch%2Bcharger&qid=1684866703&sprefix=apple%2Bwat%2Caps%2C328&sr=8-24&th=1 and it works most of the time. I've gone from outlet to outlet trying to get the watch to charge. It's finally found a home in a lower bedroom socket with a USB C adapter. In general, the Apple watch is fairly convenenient for catching calls when the phone is in another room. There are lots of great watchbands available from 3rd-party vendors for a fraction of what the manufacturer charges for bands. I like that I have my own photos circulating on it. It does some weird things, like when I start my car it often tells me how long it will take to get somewhere random, or if not home, how long it will take to get home and what the traffic it like on the highway near home; not on the freeway I need to take to get to that highway. All-in-all, the watch is ok. There are still times when I put it on the charger at night and it's dead when I take it off the next day. The Apple-provided charger doesn't work at all. Not really impressed. Update to last week's review: I received the USB adapter, charged the watch overnight and it didn't start. Put it on a different outlet to charge. Didn't start. Held both buttons down for over 10 seconds as recommended by support video. Never saw the apple or anything else, just a black screen. Returning watch as it was DOA. I'll update the review numbers later. Just received the watch. I looks like new and came a few days earlier than expected. However, I won't know whether it works or not for another week as the charging cable has a USB C end rather than a regular USB end. My Apple chargers and other USB chargers require the appx. 1/2" rectangular USB end to go into the charger and the C end goes into the device. I had to order a USB C female to USB male adapter to charge the watch, and it's supposed to arrive in six days. It actually says "USB C charger" in the write up, so I can't fault the seller. I just hadn't put it together that the C was the part that went into the charger; rather than the watch. I wanted to warn others to order an adapter; if you don't have one; when ordering the watch so you won't be disappointed having to wait for both the watch and then the adapter.

I was a bit nervous about purchasing a renewed product, but you can't beat the price and fast delivery. Where I live, there are no Apple stores. Amazon is my go to store for most of the purchases. HOwever this is the 1st time I have ordered an expensive watch without trying it on or from the Apple store. It did take a while to get the software update for both our phone and the Apple Watch and pair the watch, install some apps, once it is done, your watch is ready to go. it does not feel like a refurbished or renewed one. it looks like a brand-new one. you do need to buy a USBc wall charger to charge the watch. other than that, I am very happy with the purchase and the money saved.

Llego en excelente estado, prácticamente nuevo!!! el extensible no es el original de Apple, pero igual es bueno y el color que pedí queda muy muy lindo, también incluye su cargador. El reloj es 100% original llegó sin detalles y con capacidad del 98% de 🔋 La verdad si lo recomiendo !! Muchas gracias

Es un excelente producto vino con el 85% de batería y el producto en general solo vino con un leve desgastamiento en la ruedita, pero no afecta en nada y este también se sigue actualizando actualmente le descargué watch OS 26, lo único que recomiendo es ponerle otras correas que no sean las de este modelo porque luego se cae, les recomiendo las de broche y también las pueden conseguir en Amazon con en Apple. En resumen si lo recomiendo.

Funciona como nuevo

i love it nice colour too
