Waterproof, GPS, well built and fast. I know everyone else did it before Apple but it's now done really well. It's a great piece of tech. Next iteration will be perfect.

Clearly well designed and in the Apple tradition this watch is intuitive and easy to use in its daily function. I am still learning all that the watch is capable of doing, particularly with all the app's available. Many app's that I used on my phone are available on the watch. I also do not have to pull my phone out for every text, email or reminder since the tap on the wrist and a quick glance at the watch tells me what I need to know.
I am enjoying the health and activity reminders that I have customized to what I want to accomplish daily. As simple as it sounds a reminder has encouraged me to get up and get moving. I don't need a separate fit bit anymore.
In addition to the Apple Watch I also purchased an extra band, fun to change the look.

When the Apple Watch was announced, I honestly thought it was the dumbest thing ever. Then one day this thought hit me... for women, in particular, this is extremely useful. Men generally keep their phones in their pants pocket or belt, so they don't usually miss notifications, calls, etc. Because clothing for women is designed to avoid bulk, pockets aren't always existent. So we keep our phones in our purses, put it down somewhere we'll forget, or just end up holding it. Because the watch is pretty much an extension of your iPhone, I can now put my phone down and not worry about missing an email, call, or other notification. I get CNN breaking news, emails, texts, and can go about doing housework, office work, etc without worrying. I went hiking with my dog and got turn by turn directions to an unfamiliar trail... didn't have to keep checking my phone. I especially love that I can ping my iPhone from my watch.
I love having so much information at the turn of my wrist. This was very well thought out and I'm beyond happy I got one.

I absolutely love my Apple watch! It just amazes me, all that it does!! I thought my Fitbit was the best thing, but this Apple watch surpasses it. The milanese loop watch band is great, it is casual but it is also dressy, just depending on what you are wearing!

Still can't decide if I like it....

I just can't decide - there are good things and bad things about the watch. Good - it is pretty stylish, nice to receive quick texts or emails without staring at my phone, the activity app pushes reminders throughout the day which is nicer than my original fit bit
Bad - it is kinda large and feels a bit cumbersome, it is pretty pricey and there isn't that much new technology that I am getting, you still have to have your phone in range so it isn't a replacement
I got this as a Christmas gift and I am still deciding if it was worth the cash. I am sure there will be more apps that get released as time goes on, but by that point there will probably be a better and lighter version of the watch too. It is cool - but I am not sure if it is $750 of cool.

I decided to buy the Apple Watch (38mm Stainless Steel Case - Milanese Loop.) for myself for Christmas. I must say, I LOVE IT! With the convenience of Siri on my wrist, she has truly become my personal assistant--setting my appts, reminders, doing quick look-ups, keeping my various lists straight, and more. This watch is sleek in design, and the material quality of this model is great. I especially like the wristband on the Milanese Loop. I was skeptical of the phone feature before purchasing, but everyone tells me the sound quality is great on the receiving end, and the same holds true on my end-- but, of course, it's Apple--so form and function are elegantly co-mingled and inseparable. I could go on, but you should check it out for yourself. If you love keeping up with the latest technology, and love practical, useful gadgets, this one will make you happy. My one wish is that more of the non-traditional watch features could function without the need to have your iPhone in range (it uses Bluetooth to make certain Apps & functions accessible through the Watch)...which means you're carrying your phone somewhere on your person at all times if you want full use of all feature/functions...I'm sure Apple's working on that...and much more. Imagine complete, independent cellular capabilities and your favorite music conveniently carried on your wrist. (Hint-Hint, Apple :-)...Looking forward to when that's available. Well, if you choose to purchase, enjoy!
(Warning: Not all apps work with the Apple Watch, but more and more developers are providing compatible "Watch" versions of their apps).

I purchased an Apple Watch for my wife for Christmas. And to say she loves it is an understatement. Like any new technology, it takes some time to get the hang of it, but it is a really cool, helpful technology for her. She works as a big box store manager and can't carry her cell with her, No one says she can't have a watch on however; problem solved! She's always connected to family and friends and can discretely send quick text and / or receive voice calls. While the watch is expensive I admit, this was a gift that was planned. recommend this highly.

I love my Apple watch. That being said, I doubt anyone really "needs" an Apple watch, but it's been a fun watch to own. I had not worn a watch in years, instead choosing to wear a fitness tracker that had no visible display on the band. I use my Apple watch primarily for the workout feature, which is miles ahead of my last fitness tracker purchase. The heart rate monitor is reportedly accurate and I can attest that it does pick up the highs and lows of my heart rate during exercise. It provides a calories burned estimate, number of steps taken, and minutes of activity (as long as that activity is brisk). The watch does a great job with voice recognition and sends accurate texts via the microphone. The only downside I can see is that the watch needs the Bluetooth connection with the phone to perform most functions; however, workout mode still seems to work and sync properly even if your phone is stashed away and out of range. I've enjoyed my purchase and would buy again in the future.

I had waited for a while befoer buying this watch but i've had my eye on it ever since it's release. During this waiting time I thoroughly reviewed just about everything I could find out about the watch. Now that I've had it in my possession for about 3 weeks I'm extremely happy with my purchase. It is everything I hoped it would be and more. It saves me so much time by not having to pull out my iphone to check my messages or texts. Plus being able to take a quicklook at my emails is a destinct advantage. The healty app on the phone has made me aware of my slow lifestyle and my need for more exercise and movement. The fact that it eminds me to get up and walk from time to time is great. I find myself trying to meet all the physical goals i've set. I'm looking forward to the new os that is going to be release soon which will have even more functions for my apple watch. i'm definately pleased with my purchase and would do it again in a heart beat

My wife was hesitant at first. I pre ordered my 42" Stainless at launch and have throughly enjoyed it, so I wanted my wife to enjoy one as well. It's so convenient as far as receiving texts, emails, and calls. It's very stylish as well. My wife and I both replaced our Fitbits for the Apple Watch and haven't looked back once.

I bought this online as an anniversary gift to my wife and she loved it..it was the perfect size for my petite SO and the watch was lovely..too bad she kinda felt that the gadget didn't fit her lifestyle to be that expensive..so I brought back and as an elite member I was able to return it within 30 days and the customer service was awesome didn't ask too many questions and it was smooth.. Thanks Best Buy!

I really like my Apple Watch. The stainless steel version gives it a professional look so that I don't look like I'm wearing a sport/activity tracker. The heart rate monitor feature is quite accurate. I like the activity monitor that helps keep me motivated to move throughout the day. The only issue I have is that I wish the battery life was longer. I find that if I'm using it frequently throughout the day that by the end of the day I've pretty much drained the battery.

I purchased this watch as a birthday gift for my spouse whom already was an iphone user and used a fitbit tracker to track steps everyday. This watch really filled the void of having to grab your phone to do simple tasks like set alarms, check the time, read a message, and track your steps/movement for health. On top of that it is very stylish and gets noticed by friends in the office space.

I purchased my Apple Watch as a gift to myself over the holidays. Being of smaller stature, l chose the smaller model, as I thought it looked better on me. The watch is very intuitive and easy to use. I walk with crutches and chose the Milanese Loop band not only because I thought it was very stylish, but because with its magnetic closure, I don't have to worry about it catching on my crutch and accidentally opening. In addition I find the band very comfortable. I have many Apple products and find that the watch has a very similar interface making it very user friendly. The speaker for the phone feature is very small, making it difficult to use the phone feature in crowded or noisy situations. All in all though, a great watch!

I bought this watch for my wife. She loves it. Her friends ask her questions about how it works, and if she likes it. With this watch, there is no reason to buy any other accessories like fit bit or rings that vibrate and flash colors. It's discrete like a watch should be.

Read everything, worst reviews were from folks that did not use one for work, driving turns, text glance, email glance, phone call glance, most can wait, quick glance and on with more urgent deeds.
Meetiing notice..drive time, traffic lead times, whats not to like?
