Bottom Line
The New Apple Watch Series 6 (Renewed) offers desirable features and design, but recurring issues with overheating, refurbishment quality, and fitness tracking have left a number of users disappointed. If your primary use is fitness or an extended battery life, consider other options. Users highlight a preference for Fitbit in these areas, and the refurbished nature might not offer the reliability expected from a new Apple product purchase.
