    Recently retired and bought the Apple Watch to monitor health, fitness and safety. I have not worn a watch since the late 80s. The Apple Watch syncs with my iPhone and iPad. Great piece of technology. Really meets my needs as a senior citizen. The Apple Watch provides me with the structure that I missed once I retired.

    While the refurbished watch arrived with no instructions for a first-time Apple Watch user...I was finally able to get it charged and it has worked fine for a couple of months so far. I'm a fan, but I think that starting with an older, cheaper version was the right choice for me. Some of the problems in the reviews had me nervous (especially when it arrived with no juice and seemed uninterested in taking a charge initially...), but since then, I have had no problems with it.

    I am an Apple fan for sure, and this is my first iWatch. For anyone thinking, “Meh, I don’t need an iWatch because I have a iPhone.” You do need an iWatch it is such an amazing compliment to the iPhone. It sets up so easily and learning how to navigate is intuitive if you are already integrated in the Apple ecosystem. What I like most is the ability to watch my Blood Pressure by beats per minute, and the heart rhythm monitoring provides a peace of mind as tool to monitor my health. I strongly recommend the iWatch 8, and I am writing this as the IWatch 10 is already available. I think the iWatch 8 perfectly fine for the price point and maybe I’ll look into an upgrade later but this meets all of my needs.

    Best Purchase

    usually, I’m hesitant about buying electronics online, but I’ve been needing a new watch for a while since I’ve been using the series 3 for quite some time now the reviews look good. There were some negative reviews, but I still kept my hope since it was an inexpensive refurbished watch order the day I was expecting it to come delivered by a very nice woman caught me a little off guard since I was expecting a UPS truck open the watch and it was in beautiful condition. It was almost like I was unboxing a new watch charger perfectly fine and not a single scratch or defect on the watch the watch worked perfectly fine smoothly and is just like if I bought a brand new one at full price because of this purchase put more trust into buying online more specifically Best Buy Refurbishment department.

    Going from an iwatch 4 to this iwatch 8 is a night and day difference. It’s nice to have a watch. That’s not dead by 2:30 in the afternoon anymore. Only issue I have was there were some scratches on the screen when I received it. Not bad enough to really hamper the view, but still a little noticeable. Overall, really satisfied.

    I purchased this refurbished watch and will say it did say m/l band and it came with a small one so i had to buy another band for it but the band was red so not to upset, just a little snug so i prefer the larger sized one. Secondly it did come with a charger but not apple brand. Insignia actually, but all in all it works wonders, had no problem pairing to my phone and i like it alot. The watch arrived with just that all in a ziploc bag. The band, watch itself and the off brand charger.

    Enjoying my first Apple Watch. Other than battery life, it completely blows away my previous smart watches. Highly recommend

    Excellent refurbished Apple Watch. I couldn’t afford a brand new model, and decided to try this one. Looks brand new, no scratches, works great. Most importantly the battery stays charged for a couple of days, which is why I replaced my old Apple Watch that couldn’t make it through 6 hours without a charge. I would buy again. Thanks!!

    This was a gift for my daughter! She absolutely loved it. She was able to connect it to her phone and customize her screen. She loves “closing out her rings” by the end of the day! She says it helps her stay accountable in her fitness journey!
