I have had the Gen 0, Gen 2, and now I have the Gen 4 Apple Watch. I’ve been wearing it daily for about three weeks as of this review, and I could not happier with the purchase. The fit and finish of the watch is beautiful, and continues the quality I expect from all Apple products. Initially there is an adjustment period to the new, slightly, larger design and the face layout. This only lasted a day or two, and this quickly the watch i instinctively reach for in the morning. All of my old bands fit perfectly, and any new bands that I purchase should be interchangeable with my Gen 2. I’m wildly impressed by the new larger screen and love the capabilities of the GPS. Short story is I love the new watch, even bought one for my father, as it has additional health monitoring features, and the fall detection (plus he whole be able to see it better!).

APPLE WATCH 44mm with GPS and CELLULAR. Didn't know if i really needed another electronic gadget as i have 2 Macbkook Pros, 2 mini pads, and an iphone 7+. Since I'm retired, I have more time to enjoy life with art classes, movies, many unread books, did i really need an Apple Watch? Well, the resounding answer is YES! Reasons: Being able to make and receive phone calls, send email and texts without digging through my purse to locate my iphone and doing this almost hands-free while driving, setting up the many health apps, to improve my health, the many interesting watch faces including favorite photos that can be shuffled, the falling feature if i were to stumble and need medical assistance, the feature that reminds me to do the breathing exercises, and i could go on and on. I'm still learning how to use this watch. Almost forgot, the long battery life, up to 3 days (usually 18 hrs. listed in manual) is very convenient. A full charge usually takes no more than 1/2 hr. Amazing! I did replace the watchband with a leather band as i didnt trust the band that came with the Apple Watch. (It slipped off twice). So far I'm very pleased. Will update later.

I decided to jump into the smartwatch crowd with the series 4 and I couldn't be more pleased with this Apple Watch. It is the perfect compliment to my iPhone 8 Plus. It is a very intuitive design and you catch on fast with being a iPhone owner in the first place. The watch is fast and amazing. The setup on the Apple Watch is very easy and smart as well. I can say the speaker on this watch is very good and I don't have a problem taking calls on my watch occasionally. I bought the cellular version but have not turned it on yet so I can't comment on the cellular performance for now. I can say though that the wifi works perfectly in union with my phone which is usually near me at all times. I am sure when I hook up with cellular that this watch will be even more amazing in stand alone mode. The battery life is adequate to me since I am used to charging my iPhone anyway. I have noticed that with my setup I get about the same battery life on my phone and watch. I use about 50%, on the average, and sometimes feel I could get 2 days without recharging for the most part but I like to charge them up and top them off every night since it doesn't hurt the battery anyway. I was concerned about beating the watch up too much doing the things I do but can tell you the watch is robust and tough. I have installed and soft screen protector and a great bumper protector that is aluminum and the best I have seen in looks and performance. (Xdoria-Defence). I believe this watch is going to be very good resisting reasonable abuse. I have worn it in the shower to clean it up and have become confident in it's ability to resist water well, as advertised. I can't say enough good things about the Apple Watch and would recommend to anyone that loves solid reliable techy things. I bought the 44mm and the 40mm for my wife who also loves these things. Great product, and a great purchase that I happen to buy on a sale weekend at 50.00 discount to boot. If your on the fence about buying the new Apple Watch, don't be. It's solid, and the only thing I can hit about it is that it's pricey. But then, aren't most premium watches pricey? It should last a long time and I bought the Apple care Plus with what I saved in the sale discount. I'm happy with it so far!
