Apple Watch Ultra [GPS + Cellular 49mm] Titanium Case with Blue/Gray Trail Loop, M/L (Renewed)

Writing a review based on what I was looking for when I was looking to buy this watch. It is as I would expect (this is my 3rd purchase from Amazon Renewed - all have been a great experience) - no fancy packaging or quick-start guides - just a watch, band and charger in a generic box. Watch was in excellent physical shape (at least from what I can see - even under magnification, not a scratch anywhere) - brand-new charger (not sure if it is original or not - but it works and looks like my old iWatch charger but has a USB-C - I assume for quick charging) and a brand-new band - not attached or loose in the box. Packaging was minimal but delivered by FedEx - actual watch was surrounded by bubble wrap and a plastic sleeve in the box. Just what I was expecting - nothing more and nothing less - for the price in this good of shape I am quite pleased. So far, battery life is 2 days plus some (as a new watch like this should be able to do) - started as a new un-paired watch should - no problems connecting to my iPhone, updating software and all the rest of it went off without any differences between my old iWatch and this Renewed one. I will update this post if there are any problems but, based on my other Amazon Renewed experiences, I doubt that I will need to. Seeing that most reviews state the difference between this iWatch and the Ultra 2 are minimal and this one is more than $300 cheaper in new shape, I have to chalk this up to a great buy if you are in the market for its capabilities (which I needed after the untimely demise of my older iWatch). The screen is flat on this one (unlike the curved screen on the other iWatches) so I would recommend (as I got one) a screen protector - my old iWatch suffered from a lot of scratches on the screen after years of abuse but the curved screen made it difficult to up on a screen protector - for this one - it is quite easy to install it.

I’m very impressed with the quality and overall feel of this watch band. The material is comfortable on the wrist and feels durable enough for everyday use. It fits perfectly and stays secure without feeling too tight, even after wearing it for long periods of time. The design looks modern and clean, making it easy to pair with both casual and more polished looks. It’s a great upgrade from the original band and adds a stylish, masculine touch. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, quality, and a premium look.

Wow! I wasn't totally sure what to expect from an "Excellent" refurbished Apple Watch Ultra... I knew that the battery health should be >80% and there'd be no obvious scratches. I didn't expect the watch to look like new, and was so happy to see that the battery health was at 87% (for a watch that launched 3 years ago). I couldn't be happier with the price & product. Yes, it comes in a generic box (not sure why so many people are concerned with this... it is a refurb after all)... but it was well-packed, the watch face was covered in a removable plastic film, the band looks new, and the charging cable is a new Apple USB-C charging cable.

It was time to buy an Apple Watch. The Ultra seemed to have all the features and *in my mind* the smaller "regular" models were a compromise of sorts. But the new Ultra II watches are VERY expensive. Not in my budget and in my mind not a good value. But I think I found the value I needed. I researched Ultra I vs Ultra II (and the Series 10) watches and decided that while the Ultra II has more features and a "faster processor", these weren't things that I *needed*. It came with features that are not automtically included with the Series 10 watches such as titanium frame. An extra control button, and a few minor other things. It appeared that the "renewed" watches seemed to have a good track record and one came along with a band that I liked and I jumped on it. I like this watch. Big learning curve, but I'm settling in. The unit I received seems to be in perfect condition, with a plastic protector over the face. No scratches or any marks that I can see. The one thing that surprised me, but just a little, is that it came in a crappy generic box. Nothing like how Apple packages their products. But I won't be wearing the box, so who cares. It also came with a little charging disk/cord that looks like an EKG sensor. The charging thing works, but I bought an inexpensive night stand charger which I like. One of the ingenious things about the Apple Watch is their approach to watch bands. I like the one that came with it, but to change a band is easy and takes only seconds. I ordered 3 more bands, but just sent back on. So many to choose from. The bands change the whole character of the watch, and I can set matching watch faces. So much fun to be able to take one watch and inexpensively give it so many looks. I reserve 5 star rating for only outstanding products. I give this 4.5 stars, because the cheap packaging ruined the overall gestalt of receiving a watch that costs this much money.

For the price I got this ultra for is pretty insane it’s practically brand new works flawlessly and the battery life is at a shocking 96% definitely worth every penny packed with tons of features couldn’t be happier!!!

2 week review: battery health is lower than I anticipated but it can last two full days with a workout on each (80%). Primarily got it to track health and sleep data. Works as intended and no complaints.

This is a good value for me. Not having the budget to buy the brand new Ultra 1, this is a good option. Barely have any visible scratch or damage. The glass is in perfect condition. Battery is at 88% health.

So far for a used product, I am pleased. Apart from missing out on the unboxing experience this is a top class item. Mine came with 94% battery life no dings and even the plastic on the screen. Only negative is the charger is a bit weak and because of that initial startup took a little longer as the watch was completely dead. Please try to ship with at least 60% battery life. The band feel a little cheaper that a premium Apple Watch band but still does the job.
