I get a lot of use out of this watch. I purchased it a little over a year ago and it's still going strong. It's taken quite a beating since I wear it to work, but with a simple case it's completely without scratches. If I forget to place it on the charger daily, it makes it through about two days of casual use before needing to be charged. I mainly use it to track my sleep quality (which it does quite well as proven by a week of terrible sleep reflected in the charts) and as a notifier connected to my phone. The buzzing it does is easier to notice than my phone's and still discreet. I can also type out quick responses to texts when my phone isn't easily accessible. I have very small wrists, but it doesn't feel oversized on me, which I was originally fearful of. It likely gets caught on things more often for me than for others because of this, though. And of course, it also functions as a customizable timepiece.

This is probably the most useful watch to own when it comes to health related tracking. It can track everything from your heart rate, exercise, standing time, distance, and sleep. As nice as that sounds I honestly barely use those functions. I imagine knowing this information probably help if I worried about my health personally, but what sold me on this watch is the other features. Here are a few I personally found incredibly useful. 1. If you are a apple household and own several products and like me tend to lose them thru out the house, for example your iPhone. There is a nifty button on your touch screen that lets you buzz your phone and make it play a loud sound till you find it. 2. Lets me track my wife and kids when they wander away and leave me all alone in target. I can either use my watch like a walkie-talkie and look like a weirdo spy in the store asking for help. Or I can see them on Find My iPhone (wife). (Requires setting up the family options)(Kinds creepy stalker option) 3. I know when someone text messages me without looking at my phone. I can use siri to reply back by talking into my watch. Or ignore them like I usually do. . . 4. I can pick out custom faces for my watch so I can use analog and impress absolutely no one. Or set it to digital military time and do math. Or best yet, pick one that shows me the weather which is really useful to understand why you are sweating in really bad places today and should probably find AC fast. 5. The band that it comes with absolutely sucks but for about 1/3 of the price of the watch you can go to apple and choose from a crap ton of options. I honestly think they are worth the price so you don't get wrist sweat running down your hand. I do also recommend hunting down a screen protector on Amazon for your watch as well to protect the face from accidental dings. 6. It has an app for that. Yep it has soooo many apps that do all the things that it can be very overwhelming. But some are really useful, like if I am listening to Spotify while jogging (walking speed but wheezing for effort) I can swipe songs I don't like and turn up and down the volume without grabbing my iphone from my pocket. Yes it isn't far but I am dying and probably drop my phone if I tried while running. 7. Okay now for a more serious note. For the older generations it has a really useful feature on the newer models that allows you to monitor your heart and detects when you fall. If you fall it shows a sos button on your watch you can press to get help. If you don't move or respond after a minute or two it just makes the call for you. For the heart monitor you can set up your high/low BPM and have it track your heart and after awhile it can detect whether or not you have an irregular heart beat and warns you. It cannot track heart attacks but it can help you monitor your heart if you have any heart conditions so you can see a doctor. Please keep in mind that there is a lot of setup involved with these processes so if you are getting it as a gift for someone elderly or not very tech savvy. Please take the time to set it up and help them out. I found it somewhat easy just a bit time consuming. 8. Lastly for the kids, it has a few features that I think are good to know for parents. The find my iPhone features shows you where they are even should they get separated from their iPhone as long as they have their watch on. If they should forget their iPhone and it gets too far from them the watch alerts them that they left it behind. It has a emergency call button (hold down the button under the crown *wheel thingy*) if they need 911 and sends out their current known location should the worst happen same as the iPhone. And lastly if someone plants the AirTag on them that isn't registered to them it alerts them that one is nearby. It does a lot more then what I listed but I think the review section would implode if I tried to list them all. These are just the ones I typically found useful. Like it also has a flash light feature and a spit water out the side after you wash your hands feature. If your curious to know more about the watch, apple does an amazing job on showing you all its features on their website so I would definitely visit it before you make the purchase. Also you can see all the wrist band options they sell so you can bling it out I guess. Hope this information helps you out!
