Apple Watch Series 5 (GPS) 40mm Space Gray Aluminum Case with Black Sport Band - Space Gray

I used to own the series 1 Apple watch and can say this is a huge step up! Never thought I would purchase an Apple watch again after feeling a little disappointed with the first series. The battery life is great. It lasts over a day for me but I usually charge it every night, just as I do with my phone. The watch is perfect for tracking activity for those into fitness. I’ve definitely been exercising a lot more since purchasing this watch. Checking and replying to texts is seamless. Also, the audio when receiving phone calls is great - the audio is very clear. The aluminum is great because it’ll never show finger prints, and I think it’s much less likely to endure any dings or scratches when compared to the stainless steel models. I’ve owned this watch for over a month now and have nothing but good things to say. I bought this while it was on sale at Best Buy ($100 off retail price) and it was worth every penny!

Now one of my staple products! Easy to use and very sleek. I do have to say the “always on”feature in my opinion is not worth the up charge plus it drains the battery. But 40mm size is perfect! The 38 was a bit too small and the 44mm was massive so 40 was just right. Very happy with my purchase would definitely recommend.

I had the 1st gen and it died, so it was time to upgrade. I like the always on feature even though I don’t really use it. Pros: Better battery life, sleek looks, actually motivated me to close my rings when I see how stagnant I’ve been. Since I’m an Apple kool-aid drinker I like that it fully integrates with all my other devices. Easy setup, not a huge learning curve. Cons: Price. (Ouch, I still think the price is a bit too much) Battery; better than before, but still only getting about a day and a half of use out of one use.

I love this watch. The instant ekg is a must for people concerned with their heart. My actually came up with a irregular heart rhythm today, so I’m keeping a close eye out. The Pillow app(27. Yearly) has helped me improve my sleep patterns and I feel set i much better. Keep track of my walking/exercise has encouraged me to do more daily. Knowing my heart rate they out the day keeps me on track. Being disabled, I forget to stand a lot , the watch reminds me. And Breathe app keeps me relaxed thru out the day. Solid buy. Answering me calls (mine is basic no cellular/works with my existing number) is so convient. I change the clock face daily .

I was considering buying the series 3, but then I chose the 5. I couldn’t be happier with my decision. The watch has so many functions, for instance you can answer the phone and it has a mini speaker, so you don’t even need the earphones! No more worries to find the phone to answer a call. Many people complained about the always lit screen, but I actually love it! It’s nice to see the time ALWAYS, and when I’m running, I can keep track of all the metrics without gesturing. Battery lasts all day, which is fine, I’m not going to use the power-saving mode if I paid 400 bucks for all the magic that comes with the watch functioning at 100%. I also feel that Siri is more effective on the watch than on the phone. I also like taking ECGs although I don’t need to. They’re just fun to watch lol. The design and the touch of the watch is awesome. Honestly, it’s soooo easy to use. Oh! And I love the pink color. :)

Ok, I was stuck out in the country during the pandemic and my gal pals back at home started a challenge. They all had Apple Watches to help them keep track of their progress and I decided I would treat myself for mothers day. So, now I am getting up and moving more, keeping track of walking, jogging and WHOO HOOO Swimming! Plus, it's nice to stop and "Breathe!" I never knew how much I would appreciate being able to see my calls or messages on my watch - it's so much nicer than glancing at my phone - and way more stealth when I am in a meeting to notice who is trying to reach me. I am happy with the purchase and know I will enjoy it even more as I learn more ways to utilize the apps, etc.

I was very anti-smart watch. I had gotten the Apple Watch 2 when it first came out and ended up returning it. Since then, I’ve only used automatic watches bc I didn’t want to deal w the hassle of charging. I searched for months, then finally succumbed to the Apple Watch 5. I am so glad I did. The fact that it has the option to stay on is the best thing ever. It feels like a real watch instead of a computer or phone on your wrist. The size isn’t much larger than watches I wear. You have the option to put the most important things on your watch face, so there’s no unnecessary fiddling. And the best part: I work in healthcare and I’m able to wash my wrist and watch when I wash my hands (several times per day) without feeling like I’m damaging my watch. I couldn’t even do this with my normal watch! I’m very happy with this purchase.

This is my second Apple Watch, it was an upgrade from the series 3. It has a few new features. I will always say Apple products are a bit expensive.
