    Perfect watch for my wife. She is not one for wearing watches but does not seem to mind wearing this one. This is light weight and fashionable. She is already talking about getting matching accessories.

    Happy with this purchase. The watch is in great condition. Battery life lasts all day. The wrist band feels backward and is more difficult to clasp than others.

    The watch works great except the ECG reader. It appears to be the only part of the watch that doesn’t perform. I would love to give it 5 stars but I did expect everything to work when it’s Geek Squad Certified.

    Came in perfect condition! Wouldn’t even know it was refurbished if I hadn’t purchased it myself. It was a gift for my daughter to an upgrade from a series 3 and she loves her new watch and all of the features!

    For what it’s worth, the series 8 41mm is still great in 2025. However, it’s small size left something to be desired. Works perfectly fine for those who want a smaller smartwatch, but I decided to return mine for a larger watch.

    I wanted the new ECG and temperature features but was surprised by the price this many years after the series 8 release. So happy I stumbled upon BestBuy’s refurbished offering! Very happy with my purchase over a month later.

    Love this watch. It holds charge well. You can see all messages just by glancing at it, it is a little difficult to send messages, due to screen size. Records daily activity, steps, heart rate, etc, No problems so far!

    I was told that there wouldn’t be major scratches and when I got it, it had scratches all over.. I understand it says refurbished but when you think about refurbishing items usually that they are well kept or have some things replaced and also it was not cleaned. When I got it it was dirty on the band and the area where you connected the band to the watch.
