Super fast delivery. Not a real Apple charger though which I thought it would be. No scratches or anything on the watch looks brand new, but battery life is not great. It will track workouts and sleeps though so does the job, just a shame about the battery not lasting long, great delivery and service though :)

I purchased this watch from Back Market as I have used before and had good experiences. The watch was bought for a specific reason and it does exactly as expected

Very pleased with my wife’s new watch. We just changed the strap to a metal one as we don’t like the plastic ones, But watch looks like brand new.

The watch arrived looking great and I was excited to use it. On the first day I noticed the battery draining really fast, went into settings and discovered that the watch was recommending a service because the battery health was below 75%. I am now confused about what exactly refurbishment is if it doesn’t include stuff like a battery service?? I flagged this up and was told to return it for a repair / replacement, so I did, and around a week later the replacement showed up. However, there was no charger in the box this time, despite me returning the charger, and when I contacted backmarket about this they said the seller claimed that there was no charger in the return! Although backmarket said if I was sure they would send a replacement charger anyway, the principle of this has enraged me. What’s more, the new watch’s battery health is 83%, which just feels a little disappointing after already raising this as an issue. I wanted to shop refurbished to save a little money and do better for the environment, but wouldn’t recommend or go for again.

At Back Market, customers save up to 50% off compared to the price of new on certified refurbished Apple Watch Series 5 devices. The best part is, you don't have to sacrifice performance quality in order to save money; all refurbished devices on our marketplace have been fully reconditioned, cleaned, inspected and tested to the same standards as a new one. This is the biggest difference between buying a used or second hand Apple Watch Series 5 compared to a refurbished one.
Buying a reconditioned Apple Watch Series 5 is also a much more environmentally friendly option. Refurbished Apple Watch Series 5 are often second hand devices that have been restored and updated to meet the manufacturer's standards, which means you'll be helping to keep old Apple tech out of our landfills, reduce electronic waste, and minimise your carbon footprint.
If you need more help deciding on your next purchase, check out our article on our top Apple Watch picks this year.
We offer the Apple Watch Series 5 at up to 50% discount off the standard manufacturer's price. Every refurbished Apple Watch we sell is a genuine second-hand Apple product.
A refurbished Apple Watch Series 5 is a viable option if you want Apple's quality at a smart price. At Back Market, we offer a range of Apple watches that have been pre-owned but are in good condition. To ensure we deliver the best product to you, we carefully test each Apple Watch to ensure it passes our quality control standards. This means you get a cheap Apple Watch Series 5 that's as good as new.
Staying true to our brand, we're also a huge advocate for environmental change. In fact, at the beginning of 2023, we hit a milestone for preventing 1 million tons of carbon emission (CO2e) from entering the atmosphere. You can help contribute to a better circular economy when you shop cheap Apple Watch Series 5 deals on our platform.
In comparison to a used Apple Watch Series 5 for sale, there are no guarantees on how long that device will last after purchase since there are no thorough quality checks conducted. When you buy from us you'll get a genuine certified and refurbished Apple Watch Series 5 that is second hand, but that has been carefully restored to its near original condition. Our team of expert technicians test every device we sell to ensure it works perfectly, like the day it was new. We'll even give you a one-year warranty in case anything happens to go wrong (although we don't think it will!).
