I am by no means an Apple Fanatic who owns only Apple Products and thinks Apple can do no wrong. I enjoy the innovation and creative choices other brands make with their products! But there is no denying that what Apple is doing with their watch line just works, and works really well. The Series 6 is their latest attempt to win every every wrist they can and its a really good attempt at doing so! PROS: - Unboxing and Set-Up is really a breeze! Of course you need an iPhone to do so, but you can set up almost everything from your phone and its pretty quick. Very easy overall set up that I don't think anyone will have issues with. - The Watch itself is just beautiful. I purchased the silver model because I personally like the silver accent with the black watch face. Although you can tell its still an Apple Watch, I think Apple has done a good job making them look elegant. - The screen really is gorgeous. It's bright, has crisp definition, and makes use of the whole screen. The always on display feature really is an easy way too always see your information without having to the full power of the display. - I won't get into this too much, but the Series 6 continues to do well what previous Apple Watches do. It has smart phone notifications, you can take calls/texts from it, has fall detection, 911 alerts, you can swim/dive with it on, and just so much more. - The Series 6 comes with Blood Oxygen and ECG monitoring, and they both really work well! With Blood Oxygen, you need to have your opposite hand's finger on the crown of the watch for 30 seconds but I have had no issue getting a reading every time! Although some people may not care about Blood Oxygen and ECG, I really think that the more a Watch can monitor for you, the better your chances are to stay healthy and catch any health issues you may have. - The Series 6 also comes with another new feature which is sleep tracking! So far, I think its really beneficial to get those sleeping statistics. I have no issue wearing the Apple Watch all night as I think its comfortable and if I wake up I can easily check the time. - Of course, the Series 6 is excellent at tracking your fitness throughout the day. Tracking the steps you take all day, making sure you stand up and move frequently, and pushing you to accomplish your Workout goals everyday. Also at the time of this review, Apple's new Fitness+ service is not out yet but I am very much looking forward to this when it comes! I think it was a brilliant idea. - Lastly, I think an important part of a fitness/health tracking watch is having a great phone app to view all the information. And Apple's Fitness and Health apps are truly well done. It really is a beneficial way to keep track of everything you do. CONS: - Just like most Apple Products, my biggest issue with the Series 6 is it's inability to play well with others. You can only use it with an iPhone and although I understand not wanting to use it with an Android, I wish you could use it with an iPad. I just think it would be beneficial to see all your fitness and health stats on a larger iPad screen. - Just like previous Apple Watches, the Series 6 still can only charge using an Apple Watch charger. You can not use a Qi wireless charger like you can with iPhones and Android phones these days. It would be a lot more functional if it could be universally charged on any wireless charger. - The Series 6 allows you to use Apple Music without having your phone with you, but I wish they allowed the same ability with other music services like Spotify. - Apple's Fitness App & Health App are two different Apps. Although both apps are fantastic, I with they were combined into one to see all your stats in the same place. BOTTOM LINE: - One of the basics of a tech product is you want it to do what its supposed to really well, while also improving your life. It's hard to find issues with the Series 6 when everything it does, it does really well. From having great smartwatch features, to helping you achieve fitness goals, to tracking your health/sleep, and just being a beacon of information without having to use your phone. If you have an iPhone and want the absolute best smartwatch experience, I don't think you will find anything better than the Series 6!

This watch saved my life. Literally. One month after I started wearing it I had a hard fall and was knocked unconscious on concrete steps. When I didn’t respond to the watch’s alarm sound it sent a 911 to EMS. An officer was sent to look for me. He found me and called an ambulance. I was very fortunate. Very few people use the steps I tripped on and my husband wasn’t expecting me home for a few hours. No matter your age anyone can take a fall. Set up a regular schedule for charging your watch every day and wear it! I hadn’t worn a watch in a decade so was apprehensive about the comfort and set-up of a smart watch. I didn’t need to be and neither should you. I found this Apple Watch very comfortable from the get go. I have a women’s medium frame and the 40mm is the perfect size. The Sport band is soft, comfortable and easy to put on. Also, it appears sturdy enough to last a lifetime. Don’t forget you also get the Apple Fitness+ free trial as a bonus. Three months from Apple followed by three months from Best Buy. Six months. That’s an amazing deal. You need to invest in this Apple Watch today! The Apple Watch was very easy to set up and learn to use. You can take your phone and watch to the store where you purchased either one or take it to the business where you get your cell service, if you purchased them online as I did. They will all help you with initial set-up if you need guidance. The online manual and support will help you with all the amazing features.

Very pleased with the watch. The battery lasts for about 24 hours. I love the color and design. I enjoy keeping track of my workouts, sleep hours, but blood oxygen and heart rate. I love that I’m able to answer phone calls and respond to text messages from it.
