Customer Ratings & Reviews

A bit of advice before I begin the review, look for the best price, so you can get this price matched at Best Buy. I got this on an amazing sale with Best Buy price matching and I absolutely love it. Having notifications and fitness tracking at all times is awesome, it's almost as if it makes me more active because I want to try to reach my daily calorie goal. I rarely check my phone unless I absolutely have to now. The nylon band looks great in this color, and I personally think it's a good balance between a casual band and a band you would use to special events with. I'm now looking forward to the next software update which is promising to make the watch much faster with some added features. The 42mm watch size is ideal, too, if you have the choice and money, I would choose the 42mm over the 38mm. Overall, I'm extremely happy with my purchase.

Kudus to Apple for the iwatch....I love it and it's so easy to use. It's also very discrete and I feel like 007 when talking into the watch.

I had purchased the Apple Watch for my wife for Christmas and she seemed to enjoy it for the most part. I had no expectations when purchasing it as I was in need of a watch and figured I'd give it a shot. The appearance is sleek and I've received a number of positive comments from people who like the appearance of the watch and the woven band. The space gray goes well against the black screen and the gray woven band goes well together. As far as functionality goes, there are some very good points to mention. For instance, the myriad of options you have as to what you want the face to look like and the number of options is an excellent feature in my opinion. Initially syncing the phone to my watch was easy and required no effort. The battery life is excellent. After an average day of wearing it, the battery it anywhere from 57% to 67%. Taking calls on the watch can be challenging as the speaker is not as loud as the phone and holding your arm up on the air to speak on it is also a bit much to contend with. The canned text messages you can send are a nice feature, but I haven't found a way to add my own custom responses, which will be great when I can do that as the predefined ones are often not enough. The activity monitor is about worthless as it pertains to the exercise tracking. I've been wearing it at the gym and it picks up zero percent of when I am working out. It only will log when you are walking. Overall, it's a decent watch. I'm not sure if the price is commensurate with the functionality, but over all it's a good watch with a fair amount of options.

I love this Apple Watch easy to use and amazing how to interact without take your iphone from your pocket

After my Fitbit died I decided to spend a little more and try the Apple Watch. Since I am a multiple Apple product user including the iPhone I was hoping the watch would be a natural fit and it was. Often my phone is not easily accessible, so calls, messages, alerts, etc. are all available on my wrist plus I can still track my walks as well as monitor additional health data.

It took a little getting use to it buts it's nice to have when you can't get to your phone

The watch is very handy I work in the restaurant business and I can't always answer my phone so I definitely like the fact that I can see who's calling and I can answer it without having to carry my phone with me

I love my Apple Watch, however, my only complaint is that the band is not long enough. I'm a big and tall guy so I need a longer band. If it weren't for that one thing, I'd give the Apple Watch a 5 Star rating, because ecmverything else is awesome!

You should have an iPhone and not has this accessory to go along with it. You will not regret this purchase.

I am enjoying this. Love the mickey mouse watch face. Also great when left iphone in other room.

I love my Apple Watch , super nice :) you need to buy

Now I feel bad for purchasing this product, it hangs a lot, doesn't work sometimes, I so wish I didnt buy this product. Overall it's a faulty one

I was one of those who thought, "I don't need something additional to charge" and "it's just another screen for my phone, lame". I went to Best Buy expecting to buy a fit bit. The sales rep offered me a great deal on an open box, making a 42mm apple watch lower in price than the fit bit. Ok, I'll try it. Style: Obviously it looks great, fit, finish and screen quality are all typical apple quality. It's top notch, elegant, sporty or tough, however you want it to be whenever you want it to be. Function: I love the health tracking. I use the heart app and runtastic to track my sleeping, heart rate and running/jogging. It's easy, very accurate and puts everything where I can see it. I'm also happy with previewing texts, setting things like my Nest, getting alerts etc on my wrist. So easy to see and respond vs pulling out my phone. Negatives: I don't need GPS, I"m not a distance runner but some may miss that and want the new watch which has it. Still tethered to the phone for most functions. Depending on your need and/or expectations; It's hard to go wrong with this product. I wouldn't have paid $500 for it though...No do I think the upgrades in the new watch are worth leveraging. I'd stay with an older watch unless you're a regular distance runner and need the GPS.

I thought about getting an Apple Watch since it was released but felt the price was too high. The lower price of the watch combined with watchOS 3 is what finally convinced me. I read a lot of reviews and watched videos on the updated OS which made the watches functions much more intuitive and simple. I didn't feel I needed the other upgrades on the newer model for the price difference, as gps and swimming aren't important to me and the OS is speedy enough. This was the color and strap combo I had been looking at, so when all the factors fell into place I went for it and am glad I did, enjoying the watch. The main con is that the watch is ultimately useless if you switch to a non-apple brand of phone, but with the minimal investment and overall satisfaction of current day-to-day use I can cross that bridge down the road if necessary. Is the watch essential? No. But again, it's fun and does its job well, and as a bonus it does seem to motivate you to move and breathe more - nothing wrong with that!

I purchased this right before Apple announced the new Series Watches due to a sale. I didn't know how useful the watch would be at that point. As the title of the review indicates, I was pleasantly surprised by this product. The convenience of seeing notifications quickly on your wrist and being able to judge whether they need acknowledged has been a big plus for me. In addition, I really enjoy the fitness tracking aspects of the device. The Activity rings are a great motivator to stay active: stand and move for at least a minute for 12 hours, complete an active calorie burn goal and exercise for 30 minutes to meet the daily goals. I have found myself wearing the watch almost all the time. Great device.

As an OG Pebble and Pebble Time Steel user I really love the Apple Watch. Not that the Pebbles were bad, but they left me wanting for more functionality with the iPhone. The Apple Watch is great for getting notifications and for tracking activity but you can also interact with messages and emails. You can reply with Siri or scribble, which actually works pretty good. Yes the battery life is nowhere near what the Pebbles get but it easily gets me through the day. The screen is crisp and vibrant and easy to read. The Taptic vibrations are quite nice. Just enough for you to notice them without disturbing anyone around you.

As a nurse we are always running up and down the floors and sometimes there isn't time to check out cellphones for important messages. This watch may not be for everyone because not everyone likes this type of tech yet but I love mine. It's easier to check on reminders, messages, emails Calls etc without having to take out my phone. Like I said for me it's extremely convenient , fits nice, feels great and looks good too! Love my Apple Watch!

I have had my Apple Watch for over a month now and I love it. I mean it hasn't changed my life, but it has made life easier. At first I thought to myself I should just return it because it's kinda dumb. But the more I used it the more I loved it. And now when I don't wear it ( just because I tan easily and I get the watch tan line) my wrist feels naked. If you have the money spend it don't hesitate

My husband bought me this watch for the fitness aspect. I really like that part, but there are so many more benefits than that. It's great to see who's calling without digging for your phone. Important updates are easily accessible. I didn't think I wanted one but now I love it!

I bought the watch for my husband and I anniversary he's a very techie person so I know he would love it and the price on the watch at the time that I purchased it was a great price so that was just a added bonus for me it is very easy to use . I would definitely recommen getting the apple care just in case anything was to happen
