Q: Does it have the Oxygen monitor?

A: It does not have the blood oxi pulse on it. Due to some kind of legal problem Apple had to remove it but they are attempting to rectify the legalities and if allowed will put it back on.

Q: Does this one have the Blood O2 feature?

A: When you receive the latest OS update the Blood Oxygen feature is turned off on Gen 9.

Q: What does Open Box mean? was watch used? was it tested? were any problems found? what is the return/refund policy onthis watch? Thank you!

A: Open Box means the item was opened and returned and is tested and reset by the Bestbuy staff. (I'm a former geek squad agent). Returns for any number of reasons, didn't like the color, thought it was something else, wanted different version etc.

Q: What’s the difference between Apple Watch series 9 2023 and series 9 2024?

A: undefined

Q: My watch is not holding/ charging. What to do?

A: undefined

Q: Does it have the oxygen monitor?

A: Not anymore, Apple had to remove from all devices

Q: Does open box products comes with manufacture warranty?

A: Yes

Q: Does it monitor EKG continuously?

A: You have to open the app and hold your finger on the side for the 30 sec countdown. However you can set up Apple health to monitor for signs of afib although I would not rely on it. Mine kept saying I was in a fib at least 15% of the time and after a lot of money on heart monitors and a cardiologist found out there’s absolutely nothing wrong.

Review on Series 9
### Apple Watch Series 9 Review I recently purchased the Apple Watch Series 9, and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance and features. Here’s a detailed look at my experience: #### Pros: 1. **Design and Build Quality**: The design of the Apple Watch Series 9 is sleek and modern. The materials used feel premium, and the watch is lightweight and comfortable to wear all day. 2. **Display**: The always-on Retina display is bright and clear, even in direct sunlight. The higher resolution and improved brightness make reading notifications and using apps a pleasant experience. 3. **Performance**: The new S9 chip provides a significant boost in performance. Apps open faster, and navigating through the menus is smoother than ever. 4. **Health and Fitness Tracking**: The Series 9 excels in health and fitness tracking. The new sensors provide more accurate readings for heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and sleep tracking. The addition of new workout modes is a great plus for fitness enthusiasts. 5. **Battery Life**: The battery life has been excellent. I easily get through a full day of use with some charge left for the next day, even with heavy usage. 6. **Software and Features**: The integration with iOS and other Apple products is seamless. The new features in watchOS 10, like the improved Siri capabilities and enhanced widgets, add great value. #### Cons: 1. **Price**: The Apple Watch Series 9 is on the pricier side. While the features justify the cost to an extent, it may not be affordable for everyone. 2. **Compatibility**: It’s best paired with an iPhone. Users with Android phones will not be able to utilize the watch to its full potential. 3. **Learning Curve**: For first-time users, there is a slight learning curve to get used to the interface and features. However, once you get the hang of it, it’s quite intuitive. Overall, the Apple Watch Series 9 is a fantastic smartwatch that offers a wealth of features and excellent performance. Despite its high price, it provides great value for those invested in the Apple ecosystem and looking for a top-tier wearable device. **Rating: 4.5/5**

Overall great purchase but even better if on sale
I think this is a pretty solid generation of Apple Watch. As far as I could tell from Apple’s website, the only difference between this watch and the Ultra was how deep underwater it could go and how big the screen is. It has all of the same health features, including recording electrocardiograms. Very neat. The battery life has been really great so far. Everyone I know that has previous gen Apple Watches complain about it being dead all the time. I’ve never had that problem and I don’t even charge it that much. I would estimate I probably wear it for 21hrs a day and charge it for the other 3. I wear it to sleep to track my sleeping habits (it seems pretty good at that), charge it for 30min while I shower, then wear it for my whole active day. Once I’m back home and settled in my bedroom, I charge it for a couple hours and change while I’m on my PC then throw it right back on for bed. It’s a good companion device and keeps me off my phone. For some, it might make it harder to stay off their phone, but I dunno I have it set so the watch only goes off for important stuff so I can typically rest easy knowing that, if anything important had happened like a phone call or a page from my FD, my wrist would’ve rumbled. I’d recommend getting a case for the watch. I’m sure they’re very sturdy and scratch resistant as I’ve hit it against many tough surfaces without any issue, but it makes your stomach drop every time it happens so you may as well get a cheap, plastic case for it for peace of mind’s sake. It’s comfortable enough. If you get used to it, you won’t even realize you’re wearing it anymore (that’s how I was able to bang it into things as mentioned in the previous paragraph). It does take some getting used to but I think it’s more to do with the psychology of it than the comfort. The only times I really end up taking it off are more about me not wanting my wrist to be constrained for a bit rather than the watch not being comfy. Mentally, it can feel a bit like an ankle monitor at times because I’ll feel compelled to keep it on for the health benefits it provides me instead of me just wanting to wear it. For some, that might end up being a dealbreaker as it breaks the illusion of breaking free from your phone but for me, it works fine. Also, it’s worth noting you can do all sorts of things on the watch, like texting. It’s not GREAT but it IS possible so PARENTS BEWARE. It can be used to text in class or cheat on tests and many schools have policies against smart watches (which is for the best). I wouldn’t advise this product for minors unless they’re athletes, probably. I think the telemetry would be really great for high school athletes but just ensure it stays off and away in the classroom. I had a first generation Apple Watch in high school and you bet I used that thing to text while I was in class.

Works perfectly! I had the Apple Watch 3rd gen before, and this is a much-needed upgrade. The display is bright even in daylight, the size is just right (45mm), and it fits comfortably. Battery life is also very good – it lasts me the whole day without any issue and charges quickly. It also doesn't scratch easily, although I usually have a screen cover on it.
