I just got the Apple Watch and I like using it as a secondary cellular device: being able to see/feel/hear messages and phone calls come in while your phone is in your pocket or your phone is left at home. I also like that you can talk and send messages on the Apple Watch. The battery life is good when you use it for these things but when you use your Apple Watch for workout purposes or directions on maps, it depletes the battery relatively quick and you have to charge it again mid-day/evening. If you are an outdoors person and use your watch for hikes, workouts, directions, retracing your steps, etc and don’t care about being able to send messages back on your watch. I would recommend the Garmin. You can get a notification of a call or message but you can’t send anything back. You also have to have your phone pretty close to you for the phone and watch to connect. But The battery life on the Garmin is awesome. And last days to weeks. I think the max battery life I’ve had on my Apple Watch has been half a day to a day when I workout and maybe a day and a half to two days when I just use it for messages/phones calls. Hoping they can compete with the Garmin for battery life. Overall I like the watch up until probably a new watch comes out and Apple bugs my current one to make me buy a new one.

I always wanted a apple watch and this my first time getting one and im happy i got it! It make notifications so much easier keeping track of and the battery is outstanding scren is very bright to see outside and it fits very comfortable i have no complaints

I wanna start by saying I have never been a watch person. I was skeptical at first. I did want something I could gesture for help if I was ever in a situation where I needed to get help fast. I like the watch more and more over time. Personally, I keep the screen on 15 sec time out. Why? Well, simply, why does it need to be on all the time wasting battery for no one to see? I gave it 4 and not 5 stars; because while it has many uses and I’m glad I have one for many things: notifications especially, time, finding my phone or iPad or keys. If I lose my phone hiking, I can still make calls from the watch and find my phone. I didn’t give it 5 for a few reasons. A little over priced for a watch considering it’s limited(practical, and ergonomic) usefulness, at least in my opinion. Siri dictation needs to be stellar at understanding me, due to the fact the keyboard isn’t the easiest thing to use, and it isn’t quiet at that level of interpretation yet. Over all it could be a more classic round design and prettier and that’s is why I give 4 out of 5.

Love this watch. I got the larger size and I like it a lot. It’s easy to read and I love that it is so customizable.

My fiancé bought me the Apple Watch 9 for Christmas and it’s bar none the best gift I’ve gotten this year.. The speaker has better clarity than my iPhone, it has every function I need and want so much so that I will use my watch instead of my iPhone..
