Warranty Claim Experience with Revibe

I purchased an Apple Watch Series 8 from Revibe on 8 June 2025. After normal water exposure, the device stopped working. I submitted a warranty claim, which was declined on the basis of water damage being classified as “misuse.”

Revibe later referred to their terms and conditions stating that refurbished devices are not guaranteed to be water-resistant. This information was not clearly highlighted during the purchase process and was only referenced after the warranty claim was submitted.

Despite multiple attempts to resolve the matter amicably, the case was closed without an offer of repair, replacement, or refund. The outcome and handling of the dispute were not satisfactory from a consumer perspective.

I am sharing this review to inform other customers of my experience so they can make an informed purchasing decision.
