Apple Watch Series 7 (GPS + Cellular, 45MM) - Starlight Aluminum Case with Starlight Sport Band (Renewed Premium)

So, I decided to get an Apple Watch after my Garmin broke in a restaurant over the holidays. Not to get into it, but their support was horrible and I decided to jump ship.Purchased an 8SE in January and it was great— but I didn’t realize that the SE doesn’t have a keyboard for typing.Returned and purchased this series 7 cellular later in January for about $20-$30 more than the SE was. It was a certified refurbished purchase and, while it was not eligible for Apple care, it was sold with a comparable 2 year warranty with Amazon. I was a bit nervous, but it came in perfect condition with a perfect battery.I do have to charge every day, or every 2 days if I remember to turn on low power and other energy-saving modes at night. I don’t wear in bed.About 10 months in I’m at 94% battery capacity from 100% when I got it. Do I wish it stayed charged longer? Sure! I have to remember to charge it if it’s low and I’m planning on working out, but you just get used to it.Glad I purchased cellular because, even though I didn’t connect it for months, it gave me the option. I hope to keep the watch long term.Glad I took the chance with return because I’ve had no issues!Series 7 is fantastic and has everything I need (fitness tracking with metrics, general productivity, texts/replies on my watch), and it looks way better than the Garmin as a general watch. Very easy to swap bands for different occasions or outfits, and there are many options available out there. I like that I can go from leather band to fabric/silicone easily if I’m getting to work out after work.(As an aside, silver hardware is the better choice generally for Starlight over gold or rose gold if you’d like to match reasonably well)I like to run, do general functional strength training and yoga, and I’ve been happy with Apple for these things. Plus, it connects to the elliptical at the gym, and runs simultaneous timers when cooking!I recommend both the watch (over my old forerunner 635 and the AW8 SE) and Amazon refurbished.

I didn’t read the reviews until after i purchased the watch, but once i did read them, i was kind of worried because of all the bad reviews. Well mines came and it looks and operates like it’s brand new! Looks and feels great on the wrist. Charging does take a couple of hours because it arrives to you completely dead. 4 hrs of charge time got me to about 88%. Honestly i have no complaints about my purchase, might’ve just got lucky.

Received it on time. Can be a pain to change straps. Pulse Oximeter is unavailable despite being listed as a feature due to some legal case challenging Apples inclusion of the feature.My device came with less than 90% battery health, which is concerning to say the least. Probably won’t buy from the seller I purchased it from again.Other than these issues it seems to work fairly well so far. I love being able to text from my wrist instead of having to dig out my phone every time. Kinda wish it had more apps but kinda glad it doesn’t since the whole point for me is to lowkey disconnect from my phone/socials.UPDATE:The watch is fine BUT the charger that was included in the order spontaneously self destructed seemingly through overheating randomly four months after I got the watch. It was electrically hot and could have very nearly shocked me on household current when this happened. It was not making contact with anything except a (non conductive) wooden surface at the time this happened.This not only means I’ll have to buy a new charger but it also could have set a fire or sent me to the hospital for electrocution so I’m deducting further stars and the chargers from the reseller should be recalled.

My husband loves his new watch. So I’m glad I was able to make this purchase. It has blood oxy readings so it’s great for him to wear all day. As for the watch band, the part that has the metal nub for connecting the band to the watch, was damaged. The middle bead on the area where the watch slides into the watch nitch was exposed and tattered. I had to order a new watch band. My son who use to be an apple tech said it was broken and will not engage and said i needed a new band. Maybe it was damaged during processing, as it was in a plastic sleeve in the box. Or maybe it was a return that got put in my order. That is the only problem I had with this order. I was glad to find this issue and order a new one prior to wrapping it for Christmas. My hub loves his new watch and it charged and connected very easily on Christmas morning!

Wow!! Arrived in perfect condition with the exception of one barely noticeable scratch on the screen. Easy to pair and set up. Works perfectly. Got 100% charge when I charged it. Pay the extra money for renewed premium. I ordered excellent from another seller and the phone wouldn’t charge and wouldn’t turn on. I returned it. Please don’t be like me. Order the premium. Well worth the extra money. Fast shipping. Arrived right on time. Also a very sharp looking watch. I love mine!

Everything was included as described, and the watch works fine. It came in plain white box as some reviews say theirs came in an Apple Watch box, this one did not. This isn't really important to me. What does bother me is that this watch was listed as premium condition. The watch face itself is very nice, but the stainless steel case is somewhat scratched. More importantly, I was also hoping for it to have better battery health. My older Apple Watch series 5 has a higher battery health percentage.
