This is the first time I've bought a used electronic device and I'm pretty happy with what I received and how it's functioning (bought from "The Camera Guyz" and I've had the watch for about two weeks - if I have any problems in the future, I'll update this review).
I'll make a couple of notes below about my experience:
Condition of Watch - I would say the watch was received in "Very Good" condition - the signs of wear were limited to the typical scuffs on the screen that are common to any used phone and one deeper scratch about an eighth of an inch long on the edge of the watch face. However, when the display is on, the scratches are totally unnoticeable. The watch came with a Samsung charging block, the disc watch charger, and a new watch band (kind of a rubber material).
Battery - The battery on the used watch is great, no problems. I use the watch every day for a few phone calls, several texts, and streaming music through my Bluetooth headphones. The battery has lasted for a 24 hour period on a single charge. I am completely happy with this length of charge as I keep a charger at home and at work, and top it off if needed. The battery takes about 2.5 hours to fully charge, which I found out is normal for the Apple Watch SE.
Apps - Be aware that once your Apple Watch is activated, it may take a few days for some of your apps to work properly. Initially, I had some problems with the texting app ("Messages") - I could text people but I would not receive responses, and sometimes people would text me but it did not come through on my watch (just saw it on my phone). After a few days, everything started working properly. The only change I made before it started to work was to reverse the text notification block setting I had on my phone. In addition, in the Apple Music app, none of the album artwork was showing up. Over the course of the first three days, the album art started to populate in the watch and I don't have any issues now. Finally, I had some initial issues with my Outlook calendar syncing on my watch, but again, after a few days, it works. If you are having problems with apps working properly on your watch, give it a few days to see if time rectifies the problem. It doesn't make sense that syncing could take several days but that was the case for me.
Overall, I'm really happy I bought this watch. My main purpose for going to a watch was to help curb my iPhone addiction, and it has really helped. I can see my screen time report percentage has dropped drastically since starting to use the watch (I no longer carry my phone with me). My main problem was mindlessly doom scrolling, surfing Internet new websites continuously, and not carrying the phone with me has greatly reduced that temptation and habit. The watch does almost everything I was doing with my iPhone, without the temptation of surfing the Internet. I also have converted to speaking my text messages, which saves me a lot of time, and I really like the alarm function on the watch, which is much gentler to wake to (subtle vibrations). I did not buy the watch for the health functions, so this is not a big deal for me, but the heartbeat monitor is not accurate when exercising. I found this to be the case with a FitBit I bought (inaccuracy during exercise), so this is not an Apple thing, I think it is more of trying to measure heartbeat through the wrist. The resting heart rate is accurate, but I think you'll need a chest band to get an accurate heart rate measurement while exercising.
I hope this helps if you are considering buying an Apple Watch!
