My 2-year-old Fitbit Charge 5 suddenly refused to take a charge after a small part fell off the back. After thinking about all the other issues with Fitbit I hopped on Amazon and ordered a refurbished iWatch.

It was promoted as in Good condition. In fact it looks like a new one. Setup was a snap except for updates. Those took quite a while. I have the GPS and cell service version. So far so good. Not much that I use frequently is all that new but for the ability to use it as a phone. Now we will see how long it lasts.

Note - beginning to see why this device is so successful. Among other things battery life seems to have improved.
