    Got this for my wife

    I purchased this for my wife after getting the larger one for myself. She absolutely loves it despite her hesitations in wearing a watch. The size fits great on a smaller wrist and the band is great for both men and women. My wife has told me that it is very comfortable and makes a great extension of her iPhone.

    Love It

    I received this as a "surprise" Christmas gift from my husband. I chose this over a Fitbit-type of device because I prefer wearing a watch to checking my Iphone for the time, so I would be more likely to remember to wear it daily. I have been using my phone to track my activity, especially stairs (my office is on a different level in our house) and many times I would find that I'd forget to take my phone when running upstairs/downstairs for something. I was hoping the Apple Watch would solve that, but unfortunately it does not track stairs climbed like the phone does. It does have some very cool features though (in addition to telling the time) and I like being reminded to get up from my desk & move from time to time.

    Good for 1st Edition

    Like others I hesitated for a long time before I could justify the price of an Apple watch. Always have worn a watch and preferred metal or leather bands rather than plastic bands and prefer a solid standard color more suitable for business wear like the stainless steel with milanese loop. Pricey, yes, but for a first generation Apple product it can only improve as time goes on. Easy to learn how to operate, does pretty much I read up and needed for the display size. Love that you can switch bands to like a black leather, etc...and enjoy the overall classy look of the watch. Functions will improve and Best Buy has a nice display to judge from and can try on a sample watch to see how it fits and if you like it. You can wait for the next generation perhaps, but why miss out any longer. My Rolex will have to wait for special outings to be worn again as long as I have this one.

    Love my Watch

    I was not planning on picking up a watch when it came out but with the recent discount, I took advantage and bout the stainless steel. This watch is helping me with my workout, texting, weather and even answering calls. Works great in the car since my vehicle does not have blue tooth integration. Added bonus is when you are in the car, it gives you directions on the maps and lets you know which way to turn.

    It's beautiful but....

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Apple Watch is a very heavy watch especially when you add the Milanese band. It looks beautiful on the wrist but I returned it for the Apple Sport which weighs a ton less and of course costs a ton less. If you are used to a heavy watch, go for it but if you are used to wearing a light watch or none at all, you may be unhappy as I was. Being that this is a first gen product, I'm also happy that I got the cheaper one because replacing a $649 watch 12 or 18 months later, ouch. I don't feel too guilty with the $349 watch.

    Another amazing Apple product

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I love my Apple watch I first had the sport but then the ion x glass started to scratch to I paid the $200 more for the sapphire glass. I love getting notifications on my wrist plus the haptic feedback when you receive a Apple watch. I also love the swappable bands. I would definitely purchase it. I am applefanboy and I will buy everything the company puts out.

    Outstanding Deal!!!

    I recently bought the Apple Watch stainless steel first generation. I love it! The battery last throughout the whole day. I check the weather, read my email, send and receives text messages, check the calendar for upcoming events, make and receive phone calls. Don't know what took me so long to get this watch. I had the gear 2 and the battery would run out very early in the day, I'm so glad I bought this watch. I also bought the Apple sport in rose gold. That one was a little more money but both were a good deal.

    EH...Alright

    For what I got the Apple Watch for, it's ok. I got the watch when it was on sale for 349, at that price, I would possibly recommend it. I would never get the watch at normal price and I will tell you why. Here are My pros and cons of the Watch: Pro: Great Design! Love the look and sleekness of the stainless steel. Looks very professional and expensive (as it should). The display is bright and easy to read even on the smaller screen. Half Con: The band can be a little uncomfortable after wearing the watch for a long period of time. Pro: The watch has up to 2gs of available space for music storage. I don't have to carry my phone around at the gym, I can link my Bluetooth Beats to the watch and be on my way. CON: Syncing the music to watch takes over 2 HOURS.........Highly inconvenient if you're a busy person constantly on the go. Switching up music becomes a chore. PRO: It's nice to be able to keep in sync with your texts and emails at work if your pants don't have pockets! As long as your phone is in range the watch will still work. Half Con: The range is iffy sometimes I can run around my whole work and still be in range, other times I can step out of my house and be out of range. overall the watch is nice as a watch. it makes communication easy and is a great accessory to your phone. But it could be better.

    Fun Toy

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought the sport band version of this watch as a open box item in "Excellent" condition. First, it was clearly not in excellent condition. I returned it. Also, I thought for the price, it would be worth it to spring for the Milanese loop version. MUCH nicer looking. I love the watch, but it really doesn't do more than my iPhone with the exception of the heart rate and health monitoring functions. It's expensive, but fun.

    I purchased the Apple Watch with aluminum case and decided to return and buy with the stainless steel case. I'm glad I did. I'm a little clumsy as is and I feel like the sapphire glass will be harder to scratch. I've been wearing it for a week and I love it. Fitness app is fantastic.

    I was surprise that it fits well my small wrist. Has a nice very responsibe screen, I do not like the fact that is off most of the time and turns on when you lift your arm, which did not alwyas happend. I am still hopeing for more functionality.

    Basically I like all the Apple products and this particular smart watch is really amazing. I always wanted to have something to wear to track my activity and apple watch does it. Its not just an activity tracker but mirrors my iphone which is very helpful when I'm working I don't have to check my phone all the time. And I'm actually loving this Apple watch, worthy purchase and good to have one like this.
