Customers express satisfaction with the Apple Watch Series 2's ease of use, water resistance, and activity tracking capabilities. Many appreciate its features and the overall design, particularly the rose gold color and size. However, some customers note that the price point is high and that the watch band may be prone to staining. A few users also mention connectivity issues and some inconsistencies with the heart rate monitor.
I just want to shout out to Best Buy for actually HAVING the AW Series 2. I chose not to preorder the AW2, so I thought surely within a couple weeks it would be fully stocked on the shelves---boy, was I wrong. The Apple store was still showing a 3-4 week order lead time, with store pickups being about the same lead time. I had been watching BB's website every once in a while (they were at 3-4 weeks too), and, when I saw it back in stock and offering free two-day shipping, I jumped on it. Thanks BB!! My mom and sister already had the AW1 and loved it, but I was waiting for the next series, because I knew it would be even better. It's true! It's water resistant, offers a larger capacity battery, and has an even brighter display. The stainless steel version has the Sapphire crystal too, but I was set on the rose gold--it's beautiful. I have not used my watch for a workout yet (only had it two days so far), but I can't wait to. The watch is so feature-packed, from measuring heart rate to its workout apps to counting your activity to sending texts and more. I love being able to flick my wrist up and read a message that just came in, without having to get my phone out, and decide from there whether or not I need to reply to it immediately. I needed the 38mm because I have a small wrist. I wanted the Rose Gold with Midnight Blue band, but, for some reason, they've decided to only offer that combo in 42mm the past two series. So, I bought this combo with the rose band, and I decided I was going to purchase the 38mm MB band separately (I just knew it would be a beautiful combo). Unfortunately, BB doesn't have this 38mm band yet, so I had to purchase elsewhere. I added two photos to my review, one with the original combo, as the AW2 was setting up, and another with the MB band on it. Overall, 5/5! I love the watch so far, and I can't wait to delve into the features even more. I'm also considering buying that magnetic dock for it, but I haven't yet. Lastly, I appreciate that the AW2 comes with the charging block, as the AW1 didn't. I owned a FitBit at one time too, but this is just mountains above that. Buy this! You won't regret it. Best smart watch on the market.

Apple series 2 watch is great for everyone regardless of whether you want an activity tracker or not. I replaced my Polar activity tracker with this watch and have not been disappointed. It keeps track of my daily exercise and movement although doesn’t count steps. I like that I can check my heart rate easily without having to wear a chest strap. The GPS works well to track my runs, walks and cycling. It is so much more than an activity tracker, as I can receive all my texts, emails and phone calls all on my wrist! I also use the timer when I am cooking. My favorite feature is getting prompts on my wrist when I use the MAPS APP on my phone. And also the ‘find my phone’ feature has been very useful. The charger is very easy to use, and I purchased a charging stand which holds both the watch charger and the iPhone (or iPad mini) charger too. The only ‘con’ among the many ‘pros’ is that callers struggle to hear me when i answer calls on my watch, but at least it gives me a chance to pick up the call while I search in my purse to switch over to my phone. All around very happy with this phone.

I love this Apple Watch! It does everything ! Steps, Heart rate, calories, text, phone calls, stores music, pairs easily w/ phone, uses a bunch of apps for sports and a built in gps and it's water resistant enough to swim laps with, has all kinds of watch faces and bracelets for mixed price ranges to be fancy or sporty, I got the smaller one in rose gold cause the big one looked too big on the wrist and it's still very easy to use... the only down fall is the Fitbit app doesn't work with it but I think that's fitbits fault... def buy it if ur thinking about it but try to wait cause it goes on sale every so often for almost $70 less than retail at bestbuy!
