Apple Watch 8 Practically New

I am extremely pleased on purchasing this Geek Squad certified refurbished Apple Watch 8 45mm “Product Red”. I ordered the M/L sport band version and lucked out by receiving both S/M and M/L sport bands as pictured. I also received the USB-C charger which was basically new since it wasn’t unwrapped from its normal packing. The only issue I thought I had was that the watch wouldn’t turn on when I picked it up at customer service and when I put it to charge I saw the RED charging logo of doom! At first I thought it wasn’t going away but did read online to let the Watch charge for more than 45 minutes since it might be extremely drained for being packed away for so long. Once I let sit for a while and let it charge up the “RED charging logo of doom” went away and the watch turned on as pictured. After a full charge and wearing it daily I can absolutely say that it works perfectly! Battery life is great and the features are awesome! I highly recommend it and the Geek Squad Certified Refurbished option, you will not be disappointed. Since the watch was in perfect condition with no scratches or dents plus the bands and charger were new.

I bought refurbished AirPods Pros 2, and they basically felt and looked brand new! It was even open box in perfect condition. I’ve been using them for a month now and I’ve had no problems. The Best Buy refused system is among the best. Same thing with the Apple Watch, which was a gift to my father, that was also refurbished. Both items came out perfect

I have always been nervous about get refurbished items but so far this refurbished Apple Watch is good. I needed a new one after the screen of my old one broke but didn’t want to spend the money on a new one and a refurbished one was the perfect solution.

I really enjoy the Apple Watch, this is my 3rd watch and it is great. I got the certified refurbished Apple 8 and it works great. Just a few scratches on it but it doesn’t affect anything. I recommend looking at the Geek Squad refurbished items all the time.

I understand it’s used however it’s refurbished and scratches should be minimal to none. Deep scratch across top screen and multiple microscratches on the face. (Photos don’t do it justice but will be attached, video not available to be attached) It functions great but I’d like to think BestBuy would do better.

I love this watch. Had it been in the original box, I would never have known it was refurbished. I’m still earning all the features and ways to make the battery last longer.
I would recommend purchasing a refurbished Apple Watch from Best Buy.

I really liked the watch, the quality is the best, of course I would buy another

The refurbished watches from Best Buy are very disappointing. I first ordered a series 8 watch and it had scratches on the screen, so the store did an exchange and had another one sent to my house. The second watch that arrived was even more full of scratches and it was a series 7 watch. It does not appear they have any quality control on their geek squad refurbished Apple Watches. I gave up and just got a full refund. If the outside was in that rough of shape I figured the battery was also not in the best condition.
