Apple has made the Series 5 Apple Watch’s refurbished version available at a discount for users.
The configuration 44mm Series 5 GPS + Cellular Watch which has a gold aluminum case along with a Pink Sand Sport band is being sold at a discount of around 15 percent.
Another configuration 44mm GPS + Cellular watch with a stainless steel case and a white sport band, under the refurbished devices scheme, is available for $639, which is $110 less than the original price of $749.
In general, refurbished goods are used goods that are officially repackaged with new packaging, are certified for reselling, and are sold at a discounted rate. You can read more about refurbished goods here.
According to Apple, all refurbished Apple Watch models are thoroughly cleaned and tested for full functionality and come with the original or an updated version of the operating system. Furthermore, they are repackaged in a new box along with all the accessories (which are also new) so that they are indistinguishable from brand new units.
A refurbished Apple Watch also ships with one year of device warranty which becomes applicable the moment the Watch is delivered. However, you can extend the warranty for an additional year by purchasing AppleCare+ Apple Watch. The delivery is also free.
The Series 5 usually sees traditional discounts fairly easily. However users waiting for a better discount may see this as their chance if they don’t have any issues with buying a refurbished Watch.
These discounts are great but refurbished Series 5 Apple Watches are available at even more reduced rates by third-party resellers. For example, you can get this refurbished Series 5 GPS + Cellular - 44mm Space Gray Aluminum Case with Black Sport Band for $399.99 from Amazon, which is way less than the $419 refurbished price Apple offers for the same model, only 40mm. However, do mind that Amazon may have different steps to ensure the quality of the product remains as good as new.
