I asked this question already but got no responses, so I'm trying a different title and wording to see if I get a response.

My Series 6 watch has fallen below the 80% and I've paid for Apple Care+ all this time for this situation. Apple says I can start the process to get this taken care of, but I know it will mean replacing my watch with a refurbished watch.

Wondering how the quality is with a refurbished watch? I've taken really good care of my watch, it's working perfectly and the case is not scratched in any way. Can I expect a refurbished watch to be in as good condition? Will the battery be at 100%?

PSA———Apple refurbished products offer a great discount. Just got a refurb series 10 in natural titanium and it’s flawless. For $639. The package was sealed like a brand new device and is indistinguishable from new in my opinion. If you showed me two packages and asked which was a refurbished product, I wouldn’t be able to tell. And I was able to add AppleCare+ to it of course.

Thought the case material was a gimmick and only decided on this model for the sapphire glass. The titanium is gorgeous, perfectly polished and has such a nice color in my opinion. The screen blends almost seamlessly into the case. Gonna have to pony up the extra money for future watches because this is easily worth it to me. And no I don’t want an ultra. I tried the Ultra 2 for a week and while I could wear it, it felt overly cumbersome and heavy. Series 10 in titanium is the perfect balance between comfort and durability.

Can those who use cellular on their watch tell me their reasons for doing so? My brain doesn’t think it’ll be worth it for me for that added cost since I ALWAYS have my phone with me.
