I recently decided to upgrade my smartwatch and was torn between a refurbished Apple Watch Ultra (AWU) and the Apple Watch Series 10 Cellular. After some deliberation, I chose the AWU, and I’m glad I did. The watch arrived in pristine condition—no scratches, dents, or signs of prior use. The battery health was at 91%, which is virtually new. It came with the Ocean Band, which was brand new and adds to the premium feel of the watch. While the included 1m Magnetic Charging Cable didn’t seem to be an original Apple product, it wasn’t a deal-breaker for me. Setting up the watch was a breeze. Adding it to my US Mobile account was straightforward, and as a Premium customer, there’s no extra charge for Apple Watch connectivity—a fantastic perk! The watch performed flawlessly when making calls, sending texts, and streaming music. Everything worked as advertised, and the experience has been seamless so far. Overall, I’m thrilled with my decision. The Apple Watch Ultra offers premium features and durability at an excellent value. For anyone considering a refurbished model, I’d say go for it—I would definitely buy it again!

Writing a review based on what I was looking for when I was looking to buy this watch. It is as I would expect (this is my 3rd purchase from Amazon Renewed - all have been a great experience) - no fancy packaging or quick-start guides - just a watch, band and charger in a generic box. Watch was in excellent physical shape (at least from what I can see - even under magnification, not a scratch anywhere) - brand-new charger (not sure if it is original or not - but it works and looks like my old iWatch charger but has a USB-C - I assume for quick charging) and a brand-new band - not attached or loose in the box. Packaging was minimal but delivered by FedEx - actual watch was surrounded by bubble wrap and a plastic sleeve in the box. Just what I was expecting - nothing more and nothing less - for the price in this good of shape I am quite pleased. So far, battery life is 2 days plus some (as a new watch like this should be able to do) - started as a new un-paired watch should - no problems connecting to my iPhone, updating software and all the rest of it went off without any differences between my old iWatch and this Renewed one. I will update this post if there are any problems but, based on my other Amazon Renewed experiences, I doubt that I will need to. Seeing that most reviews state the difference between this iWatch and the Ultra 2 are minimal and this one is more than $300 cheaper in new shape, I have to chalk this up to a great buy if you are in the market for its capabilities (which I needed after the untimely demise of my older iWatch). The screen is flat on this one (unlike the curved screen on the other iWatches) so I would recommend (as I got one) a screen protector - my old iWatch suffered from a lot of scratches on the screen after years of abuse but the curved screen made it difficult to up on a screen protector - for this one - it is quite easy to install it.

The watch and band were in excellent condition and battery health at 100%. The provided charging cable, despite appearing legitimate, however, is counterfeit or faulty. With the provided cable, the watch charges to 75%-80% and then reports charging has stopped due to overheating. Plugging a legitimate cable into a Mac and viewing USB info will report an Apple Watch Charging cable with a version number, etc. Doing the same with the provided cable shows no device present, despite that it will still attempt to charge the watch.

Let me first state the bad experience I dealt with this watch. When I first received this watch came with some random “smart watch” box doesn’t come with the original Apple box, it also comes with 2 cheap unofficial Apple products which is a charger and wrist band. I’ve heard in the reviews the chargers don’t charge properly with this Apple Watch and it’s true it doesn’t and the band breaks easily, luckily I had an actual solid charger to charge this watch since it also came straight up dead no charge at all, so I was like “okay no big deal” just let it charge for a few mins Apple Watches should always charge quick as they say. 5 mins passes by the watch finally turns on and I was looking to pair it with my phone, it was going well until it was time to update and I left it there so it can update there was like 2 updates to this Apple Watch so i let the first update go, and it just kept repeating and repeating like it was not updating so I had to literally stay on my watch and see it update but it took SOO LONG it was pissing me off until it finally did the first update now the second update required my phone to stay at least 50% charge or it can stay on the charger while it update. So I did that, I let my watch sit on the charge and it kept telling me AGAIN to make sure my watch is at least on 50% charge or stay on the charger while updating but none of that worked at all meaning my watch was on the charger and it still kept telling me to keep it charged if it’s not at least 50%, so I left it there for at least 20 minutes. 20 minutes passes by and it’s barely 20%!!! I was already looking to refunding this watch already and while it was charging I was looking at reviews having the same issue. Finally 1 hour and 20 minutes it’s 50% and the second update started thank goodness, when everything was done I finally paired it to my phone but battery was not good at all so I was still thinking on refunding this watch since I had to spend more on battery change. But what can I say the watch was smooth, screen and edges were clean clean no damage but my issue was just the battery but I had faith in this watch so I just kept it. After a week of wearing this watch, the battery slowly started getting solid, it charges quicker now first time I charged it yes it did heat up a lot but it’s normal after all the updates it received and to this day no it doesn’t heat that much no more in fact after charging it all night the next morning my watch is on 100% cool not heated up and lasts longer. After a 12 hour shift the battery still is holding at 80% I was shocked at the performance and the watch itself is just beautiful, Siri worked, my calls went through. Though this is still a risk on buying since not everybody has the same performance, I’m guessing my watch was just not updated and turned on for a while that i received a bad experience the first time I got it. I’d say stay patience and see it slowly work.

Como nuevo

Cumplió mis expectativas

Dos cosas, dice que están en excelente condición… rayones visibles, suciedad en orificios de botones, algo asqueroso en la parte de abajo en los tornillos, acumulación de sudor y demás, la pantalla no responde en ocasiones. Y como segunda en el apartado de compra dice: “ Devolución sin costo durante 90 días a partir de que recibes el producto” pues resulta que si cobran, aún no sé cuanto cobran pero solo cubren hasta $400. Evítense el dolor de cabeza, pésimos productos reacondicionados.

Lo más importante viene bien, el cuerpo del apple watch viene con algunos rayones mínimos pero funciona a la perfección, me vino con un 88% de salud de batería y le tuve que comprar el cargador original, ya que el que viene incluído es muy lento. Le daba 5 estrellas si no tuviera rayones, pero fuera de eso vale la pena.
