Add The New York Post on Google TL;DR: This Grade B Apple Watch refurb is only $90.
The cool thing about Apple Watches is that they work great for a long time. That means you don’t actually need to buy the newest and most expensive model to get a great smartwatch. If you want a solid Apple Watch, this Apple Watch SE refurb is on sale for $89.99 (reg. $249).
This model has an S5 chip that keeps apps, workouts, and notifications moving without lag. Pair it with an iPhone 6s or later, and you can take calls, answer texts, pull up Maps, tap Apple Pay, and talk to Siri without ever touching your phone. Apple Music streams from the watch too, so your phone can stay home on a run.
If you like to keep an eye on your health, this watch has a heart sensor that checks your rate all day, not just during workouts, so you notice when something’s off. Activity Rings show your movement, exercise, and standing as three rings that fill in as you go, so one glance tells you how much you have left to hit for the day. Workout tracking already knows the difference between your run, your swim, and your yoga session. If you take a hard fall and don’t get up, Fall Detection can even call for help on its own.
The aluminum case is light enough to wear all day and overnight, and you might be surprised by how comfortable it can be. The display hits 1000 nits, meaning you can read it in direct sunlight without squinting or trying to shade it with your hand. Water resistance stays strong up to 50 meters, so you can even swim with your watch on. On a full charge, the battery lasts up to 18 hours, enough for a full day and an evening workout.
This refurb has a Grade B rating, so expect light scuffing or a few small marks on the body, cosmetic only. A 30-day parts and labor warranty is included, along with a Sport Band, magnetic charging cable, and wall plug adapter.
