Samsung Certified Pre-Owned, Are They Worth It?
Anyone get a Certified Pre-owned CPO phone from Samsung.com?
It's worth it, from what I'm being told, every device gets a new battery and retains all functionality including water resistance.

Samsung certified pre own
I bought a used Note 9, wasn’t even certified, but was from a really good seller. It’s in near mint condition minus the battery (easily replaceable and any preowned phone is likely to have diminished battery). Certified PreOwned by Samsung is pretty overpriced, imo.

What is the Samsung Offer Programs?
Was checking out the Samsun Store and saw they offer Certified Pre-Owned. They come with a year warranty and says they have been completely reassembled and tested. Samsung doesn't specify if they come with new batteries or if they maintain their IP ratings. Usually refurbished phones lose their IP ratings after being reassembled.
Checked the warranty, no mention of exclusions for water damage related to refurbished phones with IP ratings and batteries are covered if they drop below 80% health in the first year. This sounds like new batteries are put in and the IP rating is restored after re-assembly.
Anyone have any experience with Samsung's Certified Pre-Owned? Are they worth the premium versus other refurbished phones? If the IP ratings are maintained and comes with new OEM batteries, seems like it would be worth it.
