Customer Ratings & Reviews

As someone who had never owned an Apple Watch before, the Apple Watch Series 8 41mm has completely won me over. From its sleek design and brilliant display to its extensive functionality, this smartwatch has seamlessly integrated into my daily life. The 41mm size is perfect for my wrist, and the build quality feels exceptional. The always-on Retina display is stunning, offering vibrant colors and excellent clarity. It tracks my heart rate, sleep patterns, and daily activity, and syncs effortlessly with my iPhone for calls, messages, and music control. With accurate GPS, third-party apps, impressive battery life, and fast charging, the Apple Watch Series 8 has become my essential health and fitness companion. It's a game-changer that has exceeded my expectations and seamlessly integrated into my daily life.

I get a lot of use out of this watch. I purchased it a little over a year ago and it's still going strong. It's taken quite a beating since I wear it to work, but with a simple case it's completely without scratches. If I forget to place it on the charger daily, it makes it through about two days of casual use before needing to be charged. I mainly use it to track my sleep quality (which it does quite well as proven by a week of terrible sleep reflected in the charts) and as a notifier connected to my phone. The buzzing it does is easier to notice than my phone's and still discreet. I can also type out quick responses to texts when my phone isn't easily accessible. I have very small wrists, but it doesn't feel oversized on me, which I was originally fearful of. It likely gets caught on things more often for me than for others because of this, though. And of course, it also functions as a customizable timepiece.

This is probably the most useful watch to own when it comes to health related tracking. It can track everything from your heart rate, exercise, standing time, distance, and sleep. As nice as that sounds I honestly barely use those functions. I imagine knowing this information probably help if I worried about my health personally, but what sold me on this watch is the other features. Here are a few I personally found incredibly useful. 1. If you are a apple household and own several products and like me tend to lose them thru out the house, for example your iPhone. There is a nifty button on your touch screen that lets you buzz your phone and make it play a loud sound till you find it. 2. Lets me track my wife and kids when they wander away and leave me all alone in target. I can either use my watch like a walkie-talkie and look like a weirdo spy in the store asking for help. Or I can see them on Find My iPhone (wife). (Requires setting up the family options)(Kinds creepy stalker option) 3. I know when someone text messages me without looking at my phone. I can use siri to reply back by talking into my watch. Or ignore them like I usually do. . . 4. I can pick out custom faces for my watch so I can use analog and impress absolutely no one. Or set it to digital military time and do math. Or best yet, pick one that shows me the weather which is really useful to understand why you are sweating in really bad places today and should probably find AC fast. 5. The band that it comes with absolutely sucks but for about 1/3 of the price of the watch you can go to apple and choose from a crap ton of options. I honestly think they are worth the price so you don't get wrist sweat running down your hand. I do also recommend hunting down a screen protector on Amazon for your watch as well to protect the face from accidental dings. 6. It has an app for that. Yep it has soooo many apps that do all the things that it can be very overwhelming. But some are really useful, like if I am listening to Spotify while jogging (walking speed but wheezing for effort) I can swipe songs I don't like and turn up and down the volume without grabbing my iphone from my pocket. Yes it isn't far but I am dying and probably drop my phone if I tried while running. 7. Okay now for a more serious note. For the older generations it has a really useful feature on the newer models that allows you to monitor your heart and detects when you fall. If you fall it shows a sos button on your watch you can press to get help. If you don't move or respond after a minute or two it just makes the call for you. For the heart monitor you can set up your high/low BPM and have it track your heart and after awhile it can detect whether or not you have an irregular heart beat and warns you. It cannot track heart attacks but it can help you monitor your heart if you have any heart conditions so you can see a doctor. Please keep in mind that there is a lot of setup involved with these processes so if you are getting it as a gift for someone elderly or not very tech savvy. Please take the time to set it up and help them out. I found it somewhat easy just a bit time consuming. 8. Lastly for the kids, it has a few features that I think are good to know for parents. The find my iPhone features shows you where they are even should they get separated from their iPhone as long as they have their watch on. If they should forget their iPhone and it gets too far from them the watch alerts them that they left it behind. It has a emergency call button (hold down the button under the crown *wheel thingy*) if they need 911 and sends out their current known location should the worst happen same as the iPhone. And lastly if someone plants the AirTag on them that isn't registered to them it alerts them that one is nearby. It does a lot more then what I listed but I think the review section would implode if I tried to list them all. These are just the ones I typically found useful. Like it also has a flash light feature and a spit water out the side after you wash your hands feature. If your curious to know more about the watch, apple does an amazing job on showing you all its features on their website so I would definitely visit it before you make the purchase. Also you can see all the wrist band options they sell so you can bling it out I guess. Hope this information helps you out!

I recently purchased the Apple Watch Series 8 as a push gift for my girlfriend, and it has exceeded our expectations in every way. Let me share our experience with this remarkable timepiece. **Battery Life (5/5):** One of the most notable improvements in the Series 8 is the battery life.

It has shrugged off accidental bumps and scrapes, maintaining its sleek appearance flawlessly. **Comfort (5/5):** Comfort is paramount, especially for a device worn daily. The Series 8 boasts a comfortable and lightweight design that ensures my girlfriend can wear it all day without discomfort. The soft silicone band feels gentle on the skin, and the watch itself is so lightweight that she often forgets it's there until she needs it. **Apps (5/5):** The range of apps available on the Apple Watch Series 8 is truly impressive. Whether it's fitness tracking, navigation, or quick access to messages and calls, the watch delivers. The health and fitness features, including heart rate monitoring and workout tracking, have motivated my girlfriend to stay active and prioritize her well-being. The seamless integration with her iPhone ensures that notifications, apps, and updates are always at her fingertips.

My first Apple Watch purchase and I knew Best Buy was the best place to order. My watch is open box - excellent condition and I got a great deal!!! No flaws. Works excellently. Love the size of the 42mm for my wrist. The battery is usually at 50% by the end of the night so charge it nightly and it’s set to go. Also, Best Buy in-store Customer service is unmatched. I always get Apple at Best Buy and they always come thru!

I had an exceptional experience with Apple Watch Series 8. The quality and performance of the product surpassed my expectations. It was durable, intuitive to use, and delivered outstanding performance in all aspects. Best Buy's customer support was top-notch, with knowledgeable and helpful staff. I highly recommend Apple watch series 8 seeking a reliable and high-performing product.

Ive had an apple watch for atleast 8 years now ans this is only my 3rd time upgrading. No real need but once you get the latest you instantly see a good difference. I have a small wrist so the slightly larger face size will tale getting ise to but it charges super fast and last all day and night. Im able to travk a lot more. No real issues that are cons ither than the price but still affordable

This watch was such a substantial upgrade for me as I was coming from series 3. The bigger screen and longer battery life are extremely noticeable as well as the fast charging. The watch is also great for tracking workouts and helps you reach your daily goals. I really recommend this watch especially if your coming from and older series Apple Watch.

I only have one complaint, but otherwise it does exactly what you'd expect. Its battery life is just not really good enough. It last just less than 24 hours which means that you're continually playing catch up if you want to wear it while you sleep, as I do. When I replace it, I will get one with longer battery life, even if that means an Ultra - I hope it doesn't, and that Apple fixes this before the next time I buy one. Otherwise, it's great. It's small enough for my small wrists, has a pretty screen, good selection of bands and watch faces, and clear, easy-to-use design.

The Apple Watch Series 8 is a game-changer in the realm of smartwatches. With its sleek design and improved features, it raises the bar for wearable technology. The vibrant and responsive display, coupled with a faster processor, delivers a seamless and enjoyable user experience. The enhanced health and fitness tracking capabilities, including advanced heart rate monitoring and sleep tracking, empower users to prioritize their well-being. Additionally, the addition of new sensors and features, such as blood oxygen level monitoring and fall detection, further solidify the Apple Watch Series 8 as a reliable companion for both daily life and intense workouts. Its seamless integration with other Apple devices, along with the vast array of apps and customizable watch faces, make it a versatile device for staying connected and organized. The Apple Watch Series 8 is undoubtedly a top-of-the-line smartwatch that offers a plethora of features and functionalities, making it a worthy investment for tech enthusiasts and health-conscious individuals alike.

Tonnes of features the new ones like oxygen and temperature sensors as well as for the ladies cycles and ovulation. Purchased 2 for wife and myself after my purchase of the SE 2 gen she wanted one as well and of course she was looking at the features of the Apple 8 41mm and the rest is history. We both have the Apple 8 41mm and fits perfect the right size if you are not keen about having a larger watch face on your wrist. Walkie Talkie features is kind of neat. We’ll worth it and the bonus is it was on sale $329.00 each. When looking for watch bands it’s a 41mm that you need and I purchased a couple for casual and dress and you can change watch face to go with the bands. Just remember one piece bands like in the picture is slightly harder to slide into the watch case because of room to press the button on the last piece you slide into watch case.

I bought this to track my steps, fitness, and heart rate. I’ve had some health issues, and this little companion device has allowed me to keep an eye on what my ticker is doing when I’m out hiking. Love the compass feature. And I’ve enjoyed using it to assist with video creation on my iPhone. It pairs nicely, allowing me to use it as a second screen, shutter release, etc. The watch is durable, sleek, charges quickly and has been a nice addition to my family of Apple products.

LI purchased the Apple Watch Series 8 Aluminum Case with Midnight Sport Band and have been using for a few weeks now and I love every features this watch have. One of the standout features for me is the health features. It’s really easy to check my heartbeat, movement, steps, and sleep tracking. Another feature I use all the time is Apple Pay. This function works without wifi, so even if you don’t have phone near you, you can still pay with Apple Pay on your watch. Also, the battery life is very satisfactory. I'm able to get a full day of moderate usage out of the watch before needing a recharge. I would say it can be used up to two full days depending on the usage. I would recommend for everyone who’s looking for a high-quality smartwatches.

Love that I can switch out bands and cases to style the watch to fit my outfits. Seeing the calories you burn in real time is also cool, it’s helping me push myself more with my workouts and to watch what I’m taking in with calories. Battery life lasts pretty good, doesn’t drain out fast. Comfortable to sleep in and has other little features you can explore. I went from not caring about wearing a watch/fitness watch to wanting to wear it everyday. Big change up. Would recommend

I couldn't wait to share my excitement about the Apple Watch I bought from Best Buy online. Seriously, this thing is a game-changer. Not only does it look sleek on my wrist, but it's a powerhouse of features. I'm talking fitness tracking, heart rate monitoring, and even the nifty ECG app. Kudos to Best Buy for the smooth online shopping experience. Their website was a breeze to navigate, and my order arrived safely and on time. Setting up the watch was a snap, syncing flawlessly with my iPhone. If you're on the fence about the Apple Watch, don't be. It's worth every penny, and getting it from Best Buy just adds to the satisfaction. This is one purchase I'm patting myself on the back for!

I really like the style, features and the battery life that lasts for the whole day. It is very comfortable watch and easy to use. Also, the health and fitness features is outstanding!

The only other apple watch I’ve gotten was Apple Watch Series 3. The battery life without charging is 2 days. The screen is a perfect size. I love it! 10/10

So far I’ve been using the Apple Watch Series 8 for nearly four months and I absolutely enjoy having this device. I love that the battery in this watch can easily last me the entire day. The processor is capable of handling everything on the device without lagging. Additionally, the fitness and health features are excellent for helping to maintain a healthy lifestyle and for keeping track of health data. I also love being able to stay updated and aware of messages and calls without always having to grab for my phone. There are a few disappointments with this device however. First, the screen on this model does accumulate scratches over time (this model has a glass screen, whereas the stainless steel options have more resistant sapphire screens). My second disappointment is that Siri isn’t as capable on the watch compared to on the iPhone and iPad. For example, on your iPhone/iPad you can ask Siri to pause and play your Apple TV. On the watch, Siri isn’t able to do this. Overall I’m very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend this device to others, even with the somewhat disappointing durability and odd software restrictions.

Amazing Watch The Apple Watch is an amazing product, I don’t know how I lived without it in years past. Everything from the date, time, exercise goals, local weather forecast, and compass are a glance away. I do not have the cellular version, but answer the phone all the time on my watch when I’m not near my iPhone. I had the Apple Watch 5 for about 3 years before the battery started losing charge life. That said, Best Buy employees in Estero put me through the aggravation ringer in trading in my old watch. Then after taking delivery of the new watch the band was defective. I had to make an appointment for the Apple Store to inspect the issue and order a new one. Two trips to the Apple Store that is about 40 minutes each way from where I live. I was without a watch for a full week because I had traded in the old one. I definitely recommend this watch, but would also recommend putting the watch together before leaving the store in case there is a problem

I am very happy with the purchase of my Apple Watch. It helps me keep up with my health progress and has been so convenient to answer the phone when it was inconvenient to get to my phone. It charges quickly and is extremely lightweight to wear. All in all I would recommend the Apple Watch and a friend has already purchased one after my recommendation!
