I bought an Apple Watch Series 5…

I bought an Apple Watch Series 5 GPS&Cellular and it was rated “fair.” It arrived in two days. I traded my old iPhone 11 which brought the watch down to $67. The battery life is at “81%” and lasts all day. Couldn’t be happier with the purchase.

Good value. I love the phone so far.

My phone arrived timely and was packaged in a way to protect it from damage. It was easy to set up and transfer data from my old (Motorola) phone to my new phone (Samsung). It appears to be working well and I think it was a good value. The main reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that there was no plug for the charging cord. I had to purchase one. The phone should include everything necessary for charging.

The phone gets slow and I have to use device care 10 to 15 times a day to boost its performance to a functional level.

This was my third cell phone purchase from Back Market. All phone I have bought, this one for my daughter who wanted a model similar to the model she lost (in the ocean). All three phones worked well and the warranty on all three was as good as they would have been for a new phone.

I have used Back Market for 4 iPhones now. And each one has been exactly as advertised when it arrived. The process is so easy. I also did a trade in this last time and sending my old phone was so easy and I am receiving the full amount offered. I have recommended Back Market to many friends.

Phone was in pristine condition

Phone was in pristine condition, I was able to trade in my old iPhone 13 with a smashed camera for a 15. Total out of pocket cost $300 and so much better for the environment. This is the second time I’ve used back market, the first time was getting a phone for my dad and also had an excellent experience.

The best experience

I've been buying from Back Market since 2020 and everything I've bought has always worked very well. I've bought both of my daughters phones from there, several phones of my own, and a laptop and never had any issues with any of them. They've always answered my questions and have been up front about all my purchases. They offer a 1 year warranty, which is better than any other place I've bought refurbished items from. Delivery is fast and the prices are very reasonable. Back Market is still my go to for all my electronics.
