Apple Watch Series 6 (GPS, 44mm) - Gold Aluminum Case with Pink Sand Sport Band (Renewed)

I am very pleased with the watch I received. The unit looks completely new, with no scratches or other marks, and has a respectable battery health score of 93%. I expect to get years and years of use from it.

As a high school junior, the Apple Watch Series 6 has been a fantastic addition to my daily routine. The built-in GPS is incredibly accurate, making it perfect for tracking my runs and outdoor activities. The always-on Retina display is bright and clear, even under the Georgia sun, and the watch charges quickly, ensuring it’s ready when I am.Health features like the blood oxygen sensor and heart rate monitor provide valuable insights, and the seamless integration with my iPhone keeps me connected without distractions. While the battery life requires daily charging, it’s a minor trade-off for the convenience and functionality it offers.Overall, the Apple Watch Series 6 is a reliable and stylish companion that enhances both my academic and athletic endeavors.

I never owned an Apple Watch until I had to switch back to an iPhone. I was looking around and found the series 6. I wanted an older series but some of them were surprisingly expensive and I think I was looking at a series 7 and that was pricey as well. I got this at an excellent price to be fair. It works great with my iPhone 12. It did come a bit banged up but I bought it used so I can’t have high expectations on it. But nothing too crazy on it being banged up. The glass screen did have damage it wasn’t cracked or anything like that it almost looked kinda scraped. It fits me well. I got it in black color which was what I wanted.

I purchased this "renewed in excellent condition" Apple Watch Series 6 (44mm Aluminum) in October 2024 as a Christmas gift for my husband. He was thrilled at first, and the watch appeared to be in great condition. Unfortunately, we now realize that the product quality was only surface-deep. He had less than two weeks to truly vet the watch before the 3-month return window ended on January 9. On June 23—his first time wearing it into a swimming pool—the watch completely died. It has not turned on since. Apple clearly advertises this model as water resistant up to 50 meters, so this should have been a non-issue.After examining the watch, it's obvious the failure was due to poor workmanship during the "renewal" process. The casing still looks pristine with no dents or cracks, but water somehow got in. I can literally hear it sloshing inside—proof it wasn’t properly resealed during refurbishment.When I contacted the seller, they refused to help since the return window had closed months earlier. That’s extremely frustrating, especially given that the defect wasn’t something that could have been detected earlier without intentionally submerging it.I strongly caution others against trusting the “renewed” label from this seller. Appearances may be deceiving, and the lack of accountability is unacceptable.

update: after a few days of use, I have noticed the battery lasts just about a day. But since I am alternating with the other watch, it is not that big a deal for me. Also, the sleep tracking does seem to be more accurate than the series 4, so that is something I will be using this watch to monitor. I also like to use the "always on" display at work where I look at my watch often.I have a series 4 that has been my main watch for a while, now. It does most of what I need it to do, and it is reliable in the things it does well. But the battery life is not great, as you probably already know. I wanted a backup to wear while I charge it. I tried a cheaper alternative, but I have grown accustomed to certain features, so I got this series 6 to use alternately with my series 4. The "always on" display option might be helpful at work where I look at my watch often.when I synced to my phone, it gave me the option to use my current watch settings, so I did that, which was very convenient. However, both watches have the same name, now, which is less convenient. Not a deal breaker, however.It is disappointing that the spo2 has been disabled by apple. But again, not a deal breaker for me. I am more concerned about the heart rate monitoring, which works pretty well for my purposes. I will try the sleep monitoring, as well, to see if I find it useful.there are plenty of useful watch faces and I like that they can be customized to some extent. I have one for work, and a few others for personal use.I haven't used many other smart watches other than a fitbit, which became glitchy, especially in reading my heart rate. The apple watches have been reliable and work well with my iphone. So I decided to stick with what works for me.

Love the watch
