    I waited quite awhile before deciding I could actually benefit from an Apple watch. Constantly getting messages throughout the day really makes the watch decision a good one. Don't have to pull out your phone everytime you get a message. The watch came almost indistinguishable from new. Fantastic condition and part of the process includes a new battery, so no worries about actual age. The price of this watch is not much more than the upgrade cost of going with stainless steel & Sapphire. I need the better materials because I don't have a desk job! The only Mark against this is that you cannot get Apple Care on it. But like I said, the cost is so reasonable it's really not an issue. Best purchase by far!! Just buy out while you can. Regular discounted price is still about $549 for this watch.

    I bought this Apple Watch with my Best Buy Business Account Po # 101 and it was a great purchase. I do not regret this purchase. This purchase was satisfactory. I am happy I was able to buy it with my Business Account.

    I purchased this watch as a supplement to the original apple watch I bought right after they came out. Wanted the water proofed model. Came well packaged with accessories as expected. Little disappointed that I can not purchase a warranty plan for these since they are refurbed.

    I have always wanted an Apple Watch and couldn't resist this awesome buy from Best Buy, wow I didn't plan that one. This watch is convenient and a life saver when sometimes you don't hear your phone, but you will hear and feel the watch. I also love that the watch is backed by the Geek protection plan. The watch is comfortable to wear and does everything my iPhone does. I love the big square face and its sporty look. No one would ever know that it's a refurbished watch and I'm not fool enough to tell them.

    This refurbished Apple Watch 3 is amazing! Over $200 saved buying it refurbished and there is no difference between mine and my daughter-in-laws, who paid 2 and 1/2 times more than I did for her 4. I will continue to buy refurbished from Best Buy

    I've had this for 2 years now and while I was hesitant to buy a refurbished product, but it was a price I was willing to pay for an Apple Watch. It has held up great. Good for exercise and not needing your phone. Using Bluetooth and GPS ( or GPS and cellular) can drain the battery a lot faster, but it is usually not a problem to finish any workout.

    A gal friend had been wanting an Apple watch for some time in rose gold so what a great find in a recent tech product - maybe not the latest but I prefer to let others deal with quirks in the latest products. Anyways, the certified refurbishment made the product be seamless in function much like a new product with some reduction in price. My friend was surprised and loves her gift.

    I love my cellular apple watch. I can go where ever I want and still get all my texts and calls. Just a heads up if you buy the cellular watch and have verizon, it is a $10 monthly fee.

    I absolutely love the way this watch seamlessly acts with the I phone. Really no need to spend the extra 10 bucks a month to use it without the phone. I always have the phone anyway. Better for resale though. I wish apple would have had the gold surrounding the screen with the blue band. This scheme was discontinued after Apple Watch 2. Great watch. Does a lot. Highly recommend.

    I bought the Apple Watch 3 specifically for the ability to stay connected while leaving my iPhone at home. Walking my dog three times a day and biking to work are much easier without worrying about my iPhone.

    As a previous original Apple Watch wearer, this version blows my previously owned model out of the water in regards battery life and speed of operation. A definite must buy for any iPhone user who wants added flexibility when trying to stay connected.

    No complaints as of yet. I bought this for my husband's Christmas gift. He absolutely loves it and the price was great. Everything came packaged like it was brand new at about 1/2 the price, which is even better. 2 thumbs up!

    These Apple watches are great. I use mine every day to listen to music, take calls, ask Siri random questions, and track my workouts. Couldn’t be happier with this device. Will be back for more!

    Series 3 is close to perfect. Excellent screen, the UI is fast and responsive. Notifications are great and I can leave my phone at home with no issues. The battery last around 2 days for me. I like the Siri watch face. Once you experience this watch there is no way to go back to a regular watch or any other fitness tracker.

    I’ll be honest i bought this watch because someone stole the other one I had, I don’t even use it too, it just sits in my room. However, when I did use it the watch was nice.
