    Slightly new… it’s decent. 100% battery health was good to see. Used different bands.

    The physical appearance of the watch is amazing. After a week, it started glitching really bad. I guess because it’s refurbished.

    Beware in buying refurbished items fr Best Buy. Bought this Apple Watch Series 6. The product came with no charger. Website says, with charger. Another money gone waste. It was too late when I noticed it, can not return it anymore.

    First time Apple watch purchase

    Bought this as a less expensive way to try an Apple watch. So far very pleased. Looks good and I like the activity functions to give me info on hiking and biking. Customizing the face gives ready access to whatever info I want. I have not fully utilized everything it can do yet but I plan to at some point. Only negative for me is the standard band is awkward. Easy fix though as there are many types and styles of bands available and they are very easy to swap out. Battery time is far less than the Garmin watch I had been using but its not a significant issue for me.

    My Apple Watch was a 2nd Gen Black Stainless and it honestly was the most disappointing Apple purchase ever, it just never worked like I imagined it would..... I could go on and on... however when getting this I was still worried I’d miss the stainless steel and sapphire crustal, but I don’t. This is leaps and bounds better ... runs better, is way more accurate, the larger screen is a winner... loving it!
