Apple Watch Series 6 (GPS) 40mm Space Gray Aluminum Case with Black Sport Band - Space Gray

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.

I have the series 2 watch and loved it but I decided to upgrade to this one based on the blood oxygen app. I have severe asthma and was hoping that the app might help monitor my breathing for my Dr. I started wearing it the day they went on sale so I would have about 10 days of data before my specialist saw me. It is AMAZINGLY ACCURATE!!! My Dr was so impressed with all the data and it even gave him more insight into my “ups and downs” during the day with my breathing. I’m a huge fan of this new watch and now my Dr is too! We tested it with his oxygen monitor and it was 100% accurate!!

Got the 40mm gps version for my wife. No need for the cellular if you keep your phone on or near you. She loves it. Her other Apple Watch (38mm) lasted like 5 years before the screen popped off when she accidentally hit it on something . It was time for a new one anyway. Very good upgrade! ALSO, look up BRAXLEY bands if you prefer stretchy fabric bands. The watchband I got for her old phone works with this one even though the new watch is 2mm larger. But I’m getting her another Braxley band because our puppy chewed on it. Trust me. They’re good quality, comfy, and breathable.

the apple watch is one of the best smartwatches i've owned and i've owned a few. i love the integration with the apple ecosystem. the watch works seamlessly with your iphone, ipad and macbook pro. i love how i can unlock my macbook pro just by wearing my watch. my most used tasks are taking calls, responding to messages and viewing notifications. the watch looks nice. you can easily swap bands and there are a million different styles out there to suit your fashion. i wish there were more faces, but the ones currently available are very good and customizable. its waterproof...i shower with it and swam with it (pool and ocean). battery life is good, but i wish it was better. as an active user you will drain your battery in a day. so this means that you have to charge it once sometime during the day so that you can take advantage of all the features (sleep tracking, stand hours, etc). when it comes to fitness the apple watch has improved my fitness. on a daily basis my micro goals are to close all my rings. i didn't have that with fitbit. fitness tracking is very accurate and you can start workouts manually or automatically. and the data that your watch keeps integrates with practically any app out there. Stava, RunKeeper, Zwift...you name it and you can get data in or out. there is so much to love about the apple watch, but i will end it here and say that if you just want a smart watch, this does it all but if you want more such as fitness and integration with other apps you can do that as well.

Two things I am rating here - the actual watch, plus Best Buy’s item quality when it comes to refurbished or open box items. I bought the Apple Watch 6 as an “open box” item, which was described as being in “satisfactory condition”. Other than the box not being sealed, some of the accessories having been loosely repackaged and the watch face not having a protective film on, there were no differences in the quality of the product. No marks, no scratches and fully functional. Definitely worth the almost $100 price difference. Thanks Best Buy for offering those options at the local stores, especially with such a high quality product. I have purchased open box/refurbished from a popular online retailer before and it was disappointing both times, as the items had limited functionality. About the actual watch - I am generation “rotary dial” and this watch is easy to use. What I love about it - 1. Adjustable font size - makes it easy to read display/text. 2. Being able to answer calls from the watch - don’t have to go run and find the phone, or stop what I am doing. 3. I don’t have to keep checking my phone - I see notifications as they come in. 4. The exercise feature - haven’t fully explored it, but the functions I am using remind me to keep it moving. And there is sooo much more... I was hesitant to get a smart watch, everything seemed so small an complicated. Well, it isn’t. Total game changer.

Amazing device! I’m liking the ECG so much. I also like how fast and fluid the screen is. Very good on notification. I always carry my phone that’s why I didn’t go with the cellular version. With that being said, this watch connects to your phone and still get the benefits of the cellular version less the GPS. Pros: Apple Pay Stylish Fast response Notifications ECG, Heart Rate Monitor, Blood Oxygen Monitor, Sleep monitor, etc Automatic Emergency call detection Can control stuffs Con: The only thing missing is the blood pressure monitor. Battery could be improve. The attached photos has the watch itself but I’m using a third party band.

I’ve been eying the Apple Watch 6 for a while. I’d had my series 3 since 2018 and was pleased with it. My series 3 started to lose battery power even after charging and I use it most days for exercise, so I decided to take the plunge and purchase the series 6. I love it! The 40 inch is perfect for my wrist size and I was able to pair it easily with my iPhone. I absolutely love Apple products and the Apple Watch does not disappoint! I always buy my Apple products (with the exception of my iPhone) from Best Buy and the deals are great. I was able to turn in my series 3 and get a credit toward my new Apple Watch.
