Apple Watch Series 5 (Scratch & Dent) (Open Box)

Do not purchase these watches, read the reviews. 3 watches, all duds. TLDR: I bought 3 of these watches that all had issues and now have to wait up to 30 days for a refund I may not receive. I am confident they are replacing the glass on these watches sub par and then making them no longer waterproof. Once they have water damage, they say they will not refund your money, despite Apple watches being “swim proof” according to the site. The watches said they were sold by “woot” but then the box instructions had a different seller. I bought 3 of these watches for my kids about 10 days ago. From the start I had concerns because it seemed like they would not charge to 100% and set up was a little clunky. I also read previous reviews about the glass breaking easy, so I put screen protectors on them immediately. I have had an apple watch since they first came out, replacing them every 2-3 years, so I am have some experience of their capabilities and how they feel. In 10 years I have never once broken the glass on a watch and I do not wear screen protectors and I am your typical “klutz”. I agree with another reviewer that these watch glasses are not being replaced with apple quality glass but I am not an expert. Here is the issue with each watch This watch never charged higher than 94% despite the battery health being greater than 85%. I thought maybe it was the generic charger so I charged it with my apple watch charger. This did not fix the issue, and it would still never charge higher than 94% usually stopped around 91% even overnight. Within 5-6 hours of use we were getting low battery warnings despite using in low power mode all day. I thought we were going to be able to keep this watch, everything seemed to be going well, it charged to 100%, the battery lasted about 10 hours. Then suddenly it appeared to not turn on and the screen started glitching on and off. There were no visible signs of damage to the screen or the watch. However, the screen always felt off and we would have issues with touching and typing on the watch. He did wear this in the shower. This watch had similar issues to the first watch with battery and maintaining a charge. However, my son was in the shower and suddenly the watch kept making emergency calls over and over. So he gets out of the shower and I take off the screen protector and the glass is cracked, despite no damage at all to the screen protector (see photos). Similar to watch 2, something always felt “off “ about this screen as well. We will see how this all plays out in the next 30 days and I may update my review more positively if the seller stands by their product. But for now, I cannot recommend anyone taking the risk on these 100% functional refurbished watches. I am waiting to leave seller feedback until I have a resolution.
