Apple Watch Series 7 (GPS, 45mm) Blue Aluminum Case with Abyss Blue Sport Band, Regular (Renewed)

Only good things to say re: seller and condition of watch! Bought for elderly mother to help if she falls mainly and I've been wearing it to learn before handing it over. Haven't tried fall feature yet, will update. I am less than thrilled with Apple's design of the product and accuracy of sleep monitor and tracking workouts. My comparison is to an older Fitbit. Apple shouldn't require that sleep monitor is tied into sleep schedule and alarm. Won't track naps or if you don't sleep when scheduled. If you turn off schedule, won't give REM, Deep, etc. details, just time asleep, if that. Also, doesn't automatically track when I'm walking/running for workout outdoors, can understand if it takes a few minutes to realize, but it seems not to register that I've been walking for 20 minutes, which by that time I don't see the point of tracking it. You can manually start tracking workout, but seems like Fitbit did this better. Logs steps and miles fine if that's all you need though. It reminds me of one of those baby chicken computers that kids got to have them get a sense of minding a real baby, have to constantly input things for it to work. Also, it seems to interfere with my phone ringing or alerting me to calls or texts, vibrating on my wrist if I'm lucky, or if I'm sleeping, not so lucky. Fitbit, though obviously did many fewer things, just logged stuff. The watch, while it's cool it monitors oxygen saturation, the software gives ranges that don't explain much. Maybe the paid version does better? Also, when I wear a headset to listen to music via watch, doesn't work. Headset during calls doesn't work and believe it's supposed to. Has to be charged pretty much daily. Constantly vibrating to stand, record thoughts, etc. I mean I can probably set it otherwise, but again, feels like I'm minding a computer baby. Sometimes the band that came with it and watch itself causes a rash. Good ideas, bad execution. For the problems, not sure if I would get one for myself. For my Mom, will just set up the basics. May meet your needs though, just my opinion.

Works great, it came eith the battery dead so you have to charge it for a couple of hours before it actually withh start. IT has minor scratching on the screen and on the side.

The watch I bought was Renewed Excellent. As far as physical quality goes, it is in great shape. There are no scratches and the watch looks great and works fine. However, Excellent renewed watches are supposed to have a battery health rating of more than 90%, and this one is at 89%. So, technically, it's not excellent, and for that reason I'm only giving 4 stars. The watch seems great other than that, and I must say, I never thought of getting a green watch before getting this one, but it's gorgeous! The strap that came with it is third-party, as is the charger, but it looks OK. This was sold by BuySPRY and shipped by Amazon.

Fast shipping, was in excellent condition and good battery life. There’s a reason this is the #1 used watch seller on Amazon. They deserve my 5 star review because they met my expectations. It’s a $300+ watch for $140 because of some minor scratches that ARENT on the screen. That’s a good deal in my book.

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 am very happy with this purchase. You can’t even tell that the watch is refurbished, it looks brand new! I was concerned about not having an apple box for the watch to come in, but it turns out they provided an apple like box with their logo on it, which is perfectly fine. They should be proud of how well they represent their brand. I would not hesitate to buy another product from this company again they did a fantastic job. My daughter is gonna love this watch for Christmas. Thank you.!!!

I purchased the Renewed Apple Watch Series 7 (GPS, 41mm) Midnight Aluminum Case with Midnight Sport Band and I’m honestly very impressed. It arrived well packaged with the charger included, and the watch itself was scratch-free—it looks brand new. Setup with my iPhone was quick and easy, and everything works perfectly: notifications, calls, fitness tracking, and health features. The battery life has been great for my daily use, so I don’t feel like I’m compromising by buying renewed. If you’re considering a renewed Apple Watch to save money, this was a great purchase for me. Highly recommended.

The refurbished Apple 7 watch looks nice, charged and paired ok after I charged it that first day. Used for one day, but the battery would only charge to 63% and says “battery needs service”. After one days use, the battery charger stopped working and won’t charge. Tried to unpair so I could return but the watch died before I could make sure it is unpaired. It won’t charge. The watch says “ Please charge the watch before continuing…” Either the charger that came with it is bad and/or the watch has issues. It does need a new battery for sure. Why did they sell a watch as refurbished that says “battery needs service”? Contacted Apple support and they did a diagnostic and said I need to take it in for service, most likely battery. So I didn’t buy a refurbished watch, but a used watch that wasn’t tested. Now I have to buy a new charger to try, or take it in to Apple service to make sure it can recharge enough to finish the unpair. Wish I didn’t buy this watch. I purchased the protection plan so I can file a claim with them but didn’t expect so much hassle. I thought refurbished meant someone tested it, replaced the bad battery, stuff like that. Refurbished should mean it passed a series of tests such as can it charge with the shipped charger and make sure the watch doesn’t say battery needs service. I’ll either return it or file a claim. Too bad because I liked the watch for the few hours I was able to use it. Update: Found out from Asurion, who denied my claim, said that because I can still return the watch to Amazon they don't cover any problems. So if you get the Asurion 2-year protection plan please note that it does not cover anything until the watch that doesn't work is past the return date. You can't fix it yourself and hope to be reimbursed, if the watch is still within the return to Amazon time period. Just be aware because I assumed Asurion would pay to have the faulty watch I received fixed, but they said it's the seller's responsibility first, so a return is the only option. Another Update: I successfully canceled the apple repair I began with apple and was refunded for the battery repair fee. Then I started the returned for the watch on amazon. The only way Amazon allows the return is to have UPS pick up the watch from your house. If you are gone to work for the 3 pickups, then your return will be cancelled, so if you can't stay home and wait by the door for UPS, then you are out of luck returning an apple watch purchased on Amazon. I called Amazon support to request a different return method, and they said, that is the only return method, but they would specify to UPS to leave the return label if I'm not home. Turns out UPS received two return label orders for the same watch return from Amazon. Luckily (i guess) I was home sick from work that day, and was able to return with the UPS person with one return label. The UPS person said they would not have left the label if I wasn't home. Even though my item was picked up by UPS, they dutifully came back 2 more times with the other duplicate return label until that label became cancelled. Luckily Amazon received the apple watch with one of the labels. (Make sure to print out and include the amazon return info in the box because who knows what mistakes are made an Amazon with 2 UPS return labels being assigned to one watch return). Once Amazon received the faulty watch in their hands, the return was issued, and I was refunded. The process was not fun. I called amazon support about 5 times, and apple support about 6 times during the process, and all the Assurion support forms. I went to costco and bought a new Apple watch there and picked it up at the store which is what I should have done in the first place. I wouldn't recommend buying an Apple watch on Amazon. Try anywhere else!!! From Amazon I received a "reburbished" watch where the setting on the watch said "Battery needs repair" so it wasn't tested first. Also the watch charger was defective so it wasn't tested either. The only item that worked was the watch band. Not fun! Run!!!
