Refurbished Apple Watch in Apple Watch(132)

When buying a refurbished smartwatch, how will I know if the battery is good?

When buying a refurbished smartwatch, the battery life should generally be at least 80 percent. Some refurbished phones have new batteries, but you can expect them to be at 80 percent or higher when sold by a third-party refurbished seller on Walmart.

Can I use a refurbished smartwatch with my carrier plan?

You should check with your carrier to ensure any smartwatch can be used with your plan, and if so, if there is a monthly fee. You also want to make sure you can pair a refurbished smartwatch with your smartphone. Not all phones can be paired with all watches. Be sure to check the brand's website for the model you're interested in purchasing.

How much should I pay for a refurbished smartwatch?

Before buying a refurbished smartwatch, go to the brand's website and check the current prices for that model or for the next generation. You should pay about half of the original selling price, but you will need to factor in the battery life and overall condition of the watch. Scratches, dents, and chips can reduce the price as can a worn band. Check the serial number and make sure the phone is unlocked. There are several websites available to check serial numbers.
