Had for almost 1 month
|Posted .Can’t think of anything negative to say. I had to get leather wrist bands that would contour my skinny wrists better. To change the bands you just push a button on the back while sliding it out. I also advise you buy some sort of protective cover. I didn’t realize how often I hit things with my wrist. You can’t listen to music on it but you can control the music that is played on your phone or wireless earphones, from it. As long as you have your phone nearby, you can receive calls and text or make them. I don’t know how far you can be before it loses connection. I’ve been at one end of my house (a two story) and my phone at the other end of the house and was able receive phone calls! It’s not heavy to wear.

Excellent smart watch!
|Posted .I’m so happy I bought my Apple Watch 3. I did my research and found out the there isn’t too much difference from the Series 5 so I got the Series 3. I’ve had other smart watches but nothing can beat Apple. One thing that I think is great is that the watch runs so smoothly. It’s lightweight and water resistant which is awesome. I really don’t have any complaints

We love these watches!
|Posted .Wonderful product! Bought one for myself and one for my wife. We love everything about them! The fitness app, heart rate monitor and the step counter are fantastic for helping us get/stay in shape. They sync with your iPhone if you select that option. They have speakers and walkie talkie functions. Alarms, access to most of your apps, haptic feedback for notifications, events, reminders, messages, etc. Chock full of features. Not the largest Apple Watch but not the smallest either. FYI this model is not cellular capable.

Great watch
|Posted .Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.I had an original Apple Watch. The upgrades are better. I’m sure a 4 or a 5 would be better. I love how easy it is to use. From tracking my workouts to adjusting the music to using Apple pay. I would recommend this to anyone.

Awesome Watch
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Being able to monitor my H/R and activities is really great. The battery is great. I can go a couple of days on one charge, 3 days a few times. It’s all about the use folks. If it’s used like your cell, then the hours are cut short. I use it to check my mail or text. Other thank that, not much else.

|Posted .Owned for 5 months when reviewed.I really love my iWatch. It’s the perfect size for me since I like larger watches. It’s very convenient and I am able to access a lot of apps, my heart rate, my breathing, tracking workouts. I am able to use Apple Pay, camera remote, Walkie talkie with my Apple Watch friends. Ping to locate my phone or use phone to ping watch. It’s definitely a great buy! I also purchased one for my daughter and several wrist bands to make it more versatile.

The Apple Watch 3's best feature costs more, kills its batteryThe Apple Watch Series 3 offers built-in cellular for data and even phone calls. It works remarkably well, but not without a cost -- in battery life and money.

Q: QuestionIf you purchase one with just gps will it still alert u of texts and phones calls if your phone is near? Or do you have to have the cellular one for that to happen?
Asked by Shannon.
- A:Answer As long as you are connected to your phone via Bluetooth or wifi, it alerts you. I have forgotten my phone at home before and still get messages at work because it is connected to a trusted wifi. It's quite helpful.

Q: Questionso with and without cellular series 3 watch need to use data from your service
Asked by tito.
This question was asked about the related product: Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS), 42mm Space Gray Aluminum Case with Black Sport Band - Space Gray Aluminum- A:Answer If you get without cellular there is no additional charge on your data service. If you get it with cellular, there is a $10 per month additional charge to use the watch when you don't have your phone with you. If you want to be able to make calls etc without having your phone on you, you can get the cellular model and pay the data fee. If you always have your phone on you anyway you can get the non-cellular version and you won't have to pay anything per month, the watch will just connect to your phone.

Q: QuestionJust bought one few weeks back to go with my New iPhone X. Can you receive/send calls and texts since I got the one with GPS only? And does the iPhone have to be in range or not? Thanks!
Asked by PCGC.
This question was asked about the related product: Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS) 42mm Space Gray Aluminum Case with Gray Sport Band - Space Gray Aluminum- A:Answer Yes. It uses bluetooth to audio the call through your Apple Watch. A feature not mentioned so it surprised me when I answered a call through the watch. Felt like Dick Tracy talking through my watch lol. This goes for txt message also. It has pre-made replies, but the swipe writing feature works pretty smoothly also, but it easier to reply via the phone. To all of it, yes the phone needs to be in range.
