I recently purchased two “refurbished” Apple series five watches from woot. Both were “grade A” and guaranteed in the orange box to have at least 85% battery life. The physical condition of the watches was definitely A class, they looked great! The batteries however were unusable. One was rated at 79% and the other at 76%. Neither would last a work day without charging. These watches aren’t A grade, they are scratch and sent so I shudder to think what battery life people will actually receive. Please check the battery as soon as you receive your watch.
Hopefully woot has found a different vendor for this sale, one that will actually honor the orange box.
PS: the first Apple Watch 5 40mm gps only black grade A refurbished with 85% battery life was $109.99. Wich is the same price as today but now it’s a worse condition.
FYI, the band that came with our Series 5 Cellular 40MM did not come with an authentic Apple band as it lacks the sizing text on the inside. Not a dealbreaker since it was meant for our child and it was too big anyway. But I like to think some of the value is in the whole package considering how expensive they can be.
