I’ve used Back Market a couple of times before and regularly recommend it to anyone looking for a refurbished watch or phone. This time, though, I was tempted by a cheaper option elsewhere. After some consideration, I bought a second-hand Apple Watch from Amazon. Unfortunately, it was a pretty poor experience. The battery wouldn’t last a full day, the microphone didn’t work, the screen had lost its coating, and the back looked like it had been used as a skateboard. I guess when they say you can’t see signs of use from 30cm away, they mean when it’s strapped to your wrist. To be fair, it was listed as “Good” condition but even so, it was very disappointing. I returned it and came straight back to Back Market. I paid a bit more, upgraded to a newer model, and chose “Excellent” condition, and I’m really glad I did. While it’s not a like-for-like comparison, the difference was night and day. The watch I received is practically perfect. The battery health at 98% and the overall condition is excellent. Lesson learned! I won’t be straying again. Back Market will be my go to from now on.

I was absolutely happy with this purchase. The Apple Watch came in excellent condition as described with no visible flaws, 100% battery and even a third-party charger. Shipping was really quick and it arrived in just 2 working days after I had placed the order. Would definitely shop with Back Market again!

Works perfectly, already had a screen protector on it and it’s fantastic. I needed this device to use mainly as a medical device but also for phone calls. It’s fantastic. Came with charger and straps. Thank you so, so much.

Display looks untouched; strap fine (I already had a Milanese which I prefer). Battery holds charge as long as I would expect. Very pleased with purchase and will definitely look again for other tech products.

After reading reviews of previous customers views this gave me confidence to purchase a used watch. Couldn’t be happier with what arrived, the packaging, all genuine Apple, the watch appears brand new to me, well pleased to pay a lot less. Only issue, the strap is a small version, so had to buy another..

This device was literally like new when I received it. Couldn’t tell it apart from a brand new one you would get in Apple. I’m honestly so happy I decided to buy this from Backmarket. It definitely has given me confidence to buy more items on here. 12/10! High recommend

Amazing experience from start to finish. The quality of the Apple Watch is perfect. I also bought an iPhone a few months ago and that was perfect also. Never again will I buy brand new. Everything has been a 5* experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to use black market again. Thank you

What are the differences between a refurbished and a used Apple Watch Series 9?

A used smartwatch is resold without professional inspection or guaranteed functionality. By contrast, a refurbished Apple Watch Series 9 from Back Market has been thoroughly tested by trusted refurbishers according to our Quality Charter. Each watch undergoes comprehensive checks covering the display, Digital Crown, side button, health sensors, GPS accuracy, and water resistance.

All our products include a minimum 12-month warranty and a 30-day return window. You receive reliable technology that integrates into your everyday life whilst making a more sustainable choice. Opting for refurbished means accessing premium Apple technology with confidence and peace of mind.

Who is the Apple Watch Series 9 best for?

The Apple Watch Series 9 suits a variety of users seeking reliable health tracking and iPhone integration:

iPhone users: seamless ecosystem integration makes it the natural choice for anyone with an iPhone XS or newer
Fitness trackers: comprehensive workout modes, GPS tracking, and heart rate zones appeal to regular exercisers and outdoor enthusiasts
Health-conscious individuals: ECG, blood oxygen, and temperature sensing provide valuable insights for monitoring overall wellbeing
Tech enthusiasts: the S9 chip and Double Tap gesture offer the latest Apple innovations in wearable technology
Safety-focused users: Crash Detection and Fall Detection with automatic emergency calling provide reassurance for cyclists, drivers, and older adults

Which Apple Watch should you choose?

The Apple Watch lineup offers options at different price points with varying feature sets. The Apple Watch SE (2nd generation) provides essential features like heart rate monitoring, fall detection, and fitness tracking at an accessible price point, ideal for first-time smartwatch users or those wanting basic functionality. The Apple Watch Series 9 adds advanced health sensors including ECG, blood oxygen, and temperature monitoring, plus the brighter display and Double Tap gesture, making it suitable for users wanting comprehensive health tracking. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 targets extreme sports enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers with its titanium case, larger display, extended GPS precision, and enhanced durability features like depth gauge for diving.

If health monitoring is your priority, the Series 9 offers the best balance between features and everyday wearability. Those focused purely on fitness tracking without needing ECG or blood oxygen may find the SE perfectly adequate, whilst adventurers tackling challenging environments will appreciate the Ultra 2's rugged build and specialised sensors.

Buy a refurbished Apple Watch Series 9 at the best price on Back Market

Back Market offers the Apple Watch Series 9 refurbished at competitive prices without sacrificing quality. Each watch is tested and verified by trusted refurbishers, complete with a minimum 12-month warranty. You'll enjoy excellent value whilst contributing to a more circular economy.

Our professional refurbishers conduct rigorous quality checks, examining everything from the display brightness to sensor accuracy. Choose from different cosmetic grades (Pristine, Excellent, Good) depending on your budget and aesthetic preferences. With fast delivery, secure payment, and responsive customer support, buying refurbished has never been more straightforward.

What is the Double Tap feature on Apple Watch Series 9?

Double Tap is an innovative gesture control exclusive to the Series 9 and Ultra 2. By tapping your index finger and thumb together twice on the hand wearing the watch, you can control various functions without touching the screen. This works for answering calls, pausing timers, playing or pausing music, and snoozing alarms. The S9 chip's neural engine detects the subtle wrist movements and changes in blood flow when you perform the gesture. It's particularly useful when your other hand is occupied, during workouts, or whilst carrying shopping.

How bright is the Apple Watch Series 9 display compared to previous models?

The Series 9 display reaches up to 2000 nits of brightness, double that of the Series 8's 1000 nits maximum. This significant improvement makes the watch much easier to read in direct sunlight, ideal for outdoor runs, cycling, or beach activities. The display also dims to just 1 nit in dark environments, ensuring it doesn't disturb you at night. The enhanced brightness doesn't compromise efficiency, as the S9 chip manages power consumption intelligently based on ambient conditions.

Does the Apple Watch Series 9 work without an iPhone?

The Apple Watch Series 9 requires an iPhone for initial setup and full functionality. However, once configured, the GPS model can function independently for fitness tracking, music playback (if synced), and accessing downloaded apps when your iPhone isn't nearby. The GPS + Cellular model offers greater independence, allowing you to make calls, send messages, stream music, and use apps over mobile networks without your iPhone present. You'll need a compatible mobile plan from your carrier to activate cellular features. For core health tracking and workouts, the watch works perfectly well on its own.

What's the difference between Apple Watch Series 9 and Series 8?

The Series 9 introduces several meaningful upgrades over the Series 8. The new S9 chip delivers 60% more transistors and twice the performance of the S8, resulting in smoother app launching and improved responsiveness. The display is twice as bright at 2000 nits, making outdoor visibility significantly better. The Series 9 adds the Double Tap gesture control, absent from the Series 8. On-device Siri processing means requests are handled faster and more privately without sending data to Apple's servers. Both watches share the same health sensors including ECG, blood oxygen, and temperature monitoring, as well as identical water resistance and case size options. If you prioritise performance and the brighter display, the Series 9 is worthwhile; if these improvements seem minor for your needs, the Series 8 offers excellent value.

Are refurbished Apple Watch Series 9 devices covered by warranty?

Yes, every refurbished Apple Watch Series 9 on Back Market comes with a minimum 12-month warranty. This warranty covers functional defects in essential components including the display, Digital Crown, buttons, health sensors, GPS, cellular connectivity (where applicable), and speakers. You also benefit from a 30-day return period if the watch doesn't meet your expectations. Our customer service team is available to support you throughout your ownership of your refurbished Apple Watch.
