The watch itself is exactly as described, I bought the fair condition and as expected it has a few scratches but nothing really noticeable from afar and doesn’t affect the use of the watch. It works perfectly and I was able to connect to my phone with ease. The only disappointment I would say that I had was that there was no original Apple Watch box and it was sent in a small bubble wrap bag inside a postage box. However I understand this is to cut down on waste and is probably to be expected with refurbished items. Overall I’m happy with my purchase and would be happy to use Back Market again in the future.

This was my first Apple Watch I have bought from Back Market, and I couldn’t be happier, I have used Back Market before to buy iPhones, and have always had the best experience, never had any issues whatsoever. I have recommended Back Market to my family and friends and will continue to do so. Thank you .

No issues with delivery the Apple watch arrived within a day or two of placing the order. Especially as i ordered it in the evening. The watch itself is in great condition. Nona scratch on the screen. The band it came with is in great condition. The watch itself is fast no issues with any of the features or software. The reason i am leaving 4 stars is it arrived with 85% Battery capacity. I personally feel is just too low. It should be 90% at minimum, ideally 100%.

Love my new Apple Watch! Still learning all the things it can do! Having fun reaching my goals everyday! Didn’t really like the watchband that came with watch (hard to get on & a bit too big), so ordered some stretchy bands which I love. Also, the battery doesn’t seem to stay charged for very long ( I need to charge everyday). Overall, I am very pleased with this watch! Especially the price!

At Back Market, customers save up to 50% off compared to the price of new on certified refurbished Apple Watches. 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 compared to a refurbished one.
Buying a reconditioned Apple Watch is also a much more environmentally friendly option. Refurbished Apple Watches 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 Apple Watches 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 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 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 deals on our platform.
In comparison to a used Apple Watch 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 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!).
The Apple Watch makes a statement. It delivers high-end technology as a stylish and practical watch. With a refurbished Apple Watch, you can measure your steps and sports activities, check your heart rate, connect to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices and even measure your sleep!
We offer a vast selection of cheap refurbished Apple Watches for you to buy in every Series from 1-4. Choose from the standard colour range of white, gold, space grey, pink - whatever suits your lifestyle. Every Apple Watch we sell at a bargain price comes with a free one-year guarantee that includes repair, replacement or your money back.
If you're a first time refurbished buyer, you might not be sure what to expect from your purchase. First, understand that your Apple Watch may have external cosmetic flaws depending on the condition you choose (Back Market offers devices of Fair, Good and Excellent quality). However, whatever the condition, any external blemishes will not affect the performance of your watch and you can expect your device to perform as if it were newly opened directly from the Apple Store. You should also be confident that your purchase is backed by a 1-year warranty, meaning in the rare case that any defects arise (outside of accidental damage) within 12 months of your delivery date, then you're entitled to your choice of a repair, replacement or reimbursement.
All Apple Watch purchases on Back Market come with free standard shipping, a 1-year warranty, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. We want to make sure you can shop with confidence and find the best smartwatch for your needs at lower prices.
