The watch came quickly before I was told. It was in the fair looking condition but I didn’t care about that. The watch works like a new one. That was why I bought it. I went online and found the instructions. All the tools on the watch work as they are supposed to. I am very pleased with my watch. I am a first time user of this sight and recommend it.

Can't recommend Back Market enough!! I really love my Garmin watch and every other product I've bought from Back Market. I wasn't sure if I'd like having a Garmin watch, so I didn't want to buy one from a site or third party that did not offer returns, refunds, or guarantees. Along with the fact that people on Facebook Marketplace were selling damaged Garmins for more money, Back Market seemed like the best choice, and it was! I've recommended others to Back Market as well and it's been wonderful experiences all around. Items often arrive early, and you can get package precise tracking (nobody wants valuable tech just sitting out on their doorstep). All of their devices come neatly packed with compatible speedy chargers. My one wish would be that the Garmin watch came with a display protector/screen protector. Their website is easy to navigate and they don't send obnoxious marketing emails. 10/10.

It was a running device and quality was good. However, I mistakenly placed the order thinking that the device was Instinct Solar since that was shown in the pictures of the ad I saw on Backmarket. I was happy that the seller was kind enough to issue the return.

Very good price for a garmin smartwatch. It works very well, only complaint is that the battery life is around 3 days compared to 7, understandable since this is refurbished. Health and gps stats are relatively accurate and I’ve been enjoying using the new device!

The watch is great for my uses. Battery seems good but not quite what I think a new one should be. There’s an occasional lag when selecting things through menus but I guess some of that is to be expected with refurbished. Looks like new. Works well. On the Garmin end I love the connection to the app they have. I live in the mountains so for hikes and runs alike the watch has awesome useful features like a magnetic compass, map tracing, a feature to bring you back to your starting point if you get lost, altimeter, barometer. It goes on. Jam packed. I’m happy with it so far after about two weeks of daily use.

Garmin watches deliver reliable GPS tracking and essential fitness metrics in accessible designs for everyday athletes prioritizing accuracy over smartwatch complexity. Choosing a refurbished GPS watch gives you access to Garmin's proven training technology while making an environmentally conscious decision. Find the dependable Garmin that provides accurate tracking for your running, cycling, and fitness journey without overwhelming features or premium pricing.

What are the key features of Garmin watches?

Accurate GPS tracking: reliable satellite positioning for outdoor running, cycling, and walking without your phone
Extended battery life: 5-13+ hours in GPS mode, 5-8 days in smartwatch mode depending on model
24/7 health monitoring: continuous heart rate, sleep tracking, stress monitoring, and Body Battery energy levels
Multiple sport profiles: track running, cycling, swimming, yoga, strength training, and 15-20+ activities
Training metrics: VO2 max estimation, training status, workout suggestions, and recovery tracking
Water resistant to 50 meters: swim-proof design for pool and open water activities
Smart notifications: receive texts, calls, and app alerts when paired with smartphone
Music storage: onboard music from Spotify, Deezer, or Amazon Music on select models
Cross-platform compatibility: works with both Android and iOS through Garmin Connect app

What are the differences between a refurbished and a used Garmin watch?

A used Garmin watch is resold without professional inspection or warranty. GPS accuracy and heart rate sensors can lose calibration from heavy training use, and battery health often degrades significantly. A refurbished Garmin watch from Back Market has been thoroughly tested by trusted refurbishers following our Quality Charter.

Each watch undergoes comprehensive inspection of GPS satellite acquisition and accuracy, heart rate sensor performance, Pulse Ox functionality (where applicable), touchscreen and button responsiveness, display condition, battery health and charging capability, water resistance seals, and overall functionality. Every device comes with a minimum 1-year warranty and 30-day returns. You get reliable Garmin tracking without premium pricing, while reducing electronic waste and supporting sustainable consumption.

Who are Garmin watches best for?

Garmin watches serve active individuals across different fitness levels:

Recreational runners: accurate GPS and essential training metrics support consistent running progress
Multi-activity enthusiasts: comprehensive sport profiles track running, cycling, swimming, yoga, and gym workouts
People wanting extended battery life: multi-day battery eliminates daily charging routines
Budget-conscious athletes: Garmin's GPS accuracy and reliability at accessible refurbished prices
Swimmers: 50-meter water resistance handles pool and open water swimming with detailed metrics
Users prioritizing training insights: VO2 max, Body Battery, and training status optimize fitness progress
Cross-platform users: works equally well with iPhone and Android without restrictions

Which Garmin watch should you choose?

Garmin Vivoactive 3 is the versatile lifestyle GPS smartwatch balancing fitness tracking with everyday wearability. It includes GPS, heart rate monitoring, stress tracking, and 15+ preloaded sport apps including yoga, running, cycling, and swimming. The side swipe interface provides intuitive touchscreen navigation. Battery lasts up to 7 days in smartwatch mode, 13 hours with GPS. The Vivoactive 3 Music variant adds onboard music storage for 500+ songs from Spotify, Deezer, or Amazon Music, letting you run phone-free with Bluetooth headphones. It supports Garmin Pay contactless payments at compatible terminals. The watch includes animated workouts displayed on-screen for cardio, strength, yoga, and Pilates. Choose the Vivoactive 3 if you want a well-rounded GPS smartwatch for diverse activities beyond just running—ideal for gym-goers, yogis, cyclists, and recreational athletes wanting reliable tracking in a comfortable, everyday design at accessible refurbished pricing.

Garmin Venu Sq is the budget-friendly GPS smartwatch with a bright color LCD touchscreen display in a square design. It includes GPS, heart rate monitoring, Pulse Ox blood oxygen tracking, Body Battery energy monitoring, and comprehensive sleep analysis. The Venu Sq tracks 20+ sport modes including running, cycling, swimming, golf, and Pilates. Battery lasts up to 6 days in smartwatch mode, 14 hours with GPS. The Music Edition adds onboard music storage for phone-free listening. The square display maximizes screen area for easy readability of stats, notifications, and animated workouts. The lightweight design sits comfortably for all-day and overnight wear. It includes respiration tracking, hydration logging, and menstrual cycle tracking. Choose the Venu Sq if you prefer a square smartwatch design similar to Apple Watch aesthetics, want a vibrant color display for better readability, and need comprehensive fitness tracking with Body Battery insights at an affordable refurbished price point.

Garmin Forerunner 45 is the dedicated GPS running watch focused on runners wanting essential training features without complexity. It includes accurate GPS tracking, heart rate monitoring, running dynamics from compatible accessories, and Garmin Coach free adaptive training plans. The simple button interface is easy to navigate during workouts—no touchscreen distractions. Battery lasts up to 7 days in smartwatch mode, 13 hours in GPS mode. The Forerunner 45 tracks pace, distance, intervals, and provides VO2 max estimation and training effect analysis. It includes incident detection that sends your location to emergency contacts if it detects an accident during activities. Available in two sizes: 42mm (Forerunner 45S) for smaller wrists, 45mm for standard fit. Choose the Forerunner 45 if you're primarily a runner seeking straightforward GPS tracking with proven Garmin accuracy, prefer physical buttons over touchscreens for reliable control during runs, and want an entry-level running watch at the best refurbished value.

Buy refurbished Garmin watches at the best price on Back Market

Back Market offers refurbished Garmin watches at competitive prices with verified GPS accuracy and training reliability. Each watch is:

Tested by trusted refurbishers: GPS accuracy, heart rate monitoring, Pulse Ox, Body Battery, and all fitness features verified working
Backed by warranty: minimum 1-year coverage protects your fitness tracking investment
Returnable for 30 days: test it through multiple workouts and activities to ensure it meets your training needs
Better for the environment: choosing refurbished reduces e-waste and extends the life of functional sports technology

Browse models including Vivoactive 3 for versatility, Venu Sq for color display and square design, and Forerunner 45 for dedicated running focus. Different cosmetic grades from Premium to Fair let you maximize value while getting Garmin's reliable GPS tracking. Choose the features matching your primary activities at refurbished pricing that fits your budget.

Which Garmin watch is best for beginners?

The Garmin Forerunner 45 is excellent for beginning runners with its simple button interface, straightforward GPS tracking, and Garmin Coach free training plans that guide you from couch to 5K or toward longer distances. The Venu Sq works well for fitness beginners wanting diverse activity tracking—its animated on-screen workouts provide guidance for strength training, yoga, and cardio without a trainer. The Vivoactive 3 suits beginners doing multiple activities who want automatic exercise detection and easy-to-understand metrics. All three provide accurate tracking without overwhelming complexity. Choose based on your primary activity: Forerunner 45 for running focus, Venu Sq for guided workouts across activities, Vivoactive 3 for versatile multi-sport tracking.

What is Body Battery on Garmin watches?

Body Battery (available on Vivoactive 3, Venu Sq, and many Garmin watches) is an energy monitoring feature that estimates your body's energy reserves on a 0-100 scale. It uses heart rate variability, stress levels, sleep quality, and activity data to calculate whether you're charged up or drained. The score helps identify optimal times for intense workouts versus when your body needs rest. High Body Battery scores (60-100) suggest you're ready for demanding training. Low scores (0-40) indicate recovery is needed. Many users find it surprisingly accurate—low Body Battery often correlates with feeling tired. It's valuable for avoiding overtraining and planning workout intensity based on your body's readiness.

Can I download music to these Garmin watches?

Music storage depends on the specific variant. The Vivoactive 3 Music and Venu Sq Music editions include onboard storage for downloading playlists from Spotify Premium, Deezer Premium, or Amazon Music. Storage holds roughly 500 songs or 4GB of music. You can pair Bluetooth headphones directly to the watch for phone-free running and workouts. The standard Vivoactive 3, standard Venu Sq, and all Forerunner 45 models do not include music storage—they can control music playing on your phone but can't store songs locally. If phone-free music matters, look specifically for "Music" or "Music Edition" variants when shopping refurbished.

Do these Garmin watches track swimming?

Yes, all three models are water-resistant to 50 meters (5ATM) and include swim tracking. The Vivoactive 3, Venu Sq, and Forerunner 45 track pool swimming with lap counting, stroke detection, distance, and SWOLF efficiency score. Pool mode requires setting your pool length correctly for accurate lap counting. The Vivoactive 3 and Venu Sq also support open water swim tracking using GPS to measure distance in lakes or oceans. The Forerunner 45 focuses more on running but handles pool swimming adequately for cross-training. All three provide useful swim metrics for recreational swimmers and multisport athletes incorporating swimming into training.

What's the battery life on these Garmin watches?

Battery life varies by model but all significantly exceed most smartwatches. The Vivoactive 3 lasts up to 7 days in smartwatch mode, 13 hours with continuous GPS. The Venu Sq achieves about 6 days smartwatch mode, 14 hours GPS mode. The Forerunner 45 reaches 7 days smartwatch mode, 13 hours GPS mode. These estimates assume typical use with notifications, daily activity tracking, and occasional GPS workouts. Playing music from the watch (on Music editions) drains battery faster than GPS alone. All three provide week-long battery life between charges—a major advantage over Apple Watch (18 hours) and most Wear OS watches requiring daily charging.

Do Garmin watches work with iPhone and Android?

Yes, all Garmin watches including the Vivoactive 3, Venu Sq, and Forerunner 45 work fully with both iPhone (iOS 15+) and Android (Android 7.0+) through the Garmin Connect app. You get complete functionality on both platforms including activity syncing, training analysis, music management (on Music editions), and smart notifications. Unlike Apple Watch (iOS only), Garmin doesn't restrict features based on phone operating system. This cross-platform compatibility is valuable if you might switch phone ecosystems or want a watch that works independently of specific smartphone brands. All GPS tracking, heart rate monitoring, and training metrics work identically with iPhone or Android.

What's the difference between touchscreen and button controls?

The Vivoactive 3 and Venu Sq use touchscreen interfaces for navigation—you swipe and tap the display to access features and menus. Touchscreens are intuitive and allow more complex interactions like scrolling through music playlists. The Forerunner 45 uses a five-button interface without touchscreen—you press physical buttons to navigate. Buttons work reliably in all conditions: rain, snow, with gloves, or when your hands are sweaty during intense workouts. Touchscreens can be challenging in these situations. Many runners prefer buttons during workouts for reliable control. For daily use and casual activities, touchscreens feel more modern and intuitive. Choose based on your primary use case and personal preference.

Do I need a subscription to use these Garmin watches?

No subscription is required. All Garmin watches provide full functionality without subscription fees. GPS tracking, heart rate monitoring, Body Battery, training metrics, sleep tracking, and Garmin Connect app access are completely free. This differs from some competitors that lock features behind subscriptions. Optional paid services include music streaming service subscriptions (Spotify Premium, Deezer Premium) if you want offline music downloads on Music edition watches, but this is for the streaming service itself, not Garmin. Garmin Coach training plans are free. You get comprehensive training and health tracking tools without ongoing costs beyond the initial watch purchase.
