    I held off purchasing an Apple Watch as I was unsure if I really "needed" one. I'm glad I finally made the decision to pick one up. Nice quality timepiece, that I'm relying on more every day to keep me informed without having to whip my phone out every time I get a notification. I've found the following most useful: Ability to reply to text messages with a couple of taps. When using Apple Maps to navigate, I receive a couple of taps on the watch when my turn is approaching. Allows me to keep my eyes on the road, and not looking down at my phone. I did turn off the email notifications on the watch...I get too many emails, and the watch was constantly vibrating on my wrist. As for the watch itself, the legendary Apple Quality is evident throughout. Fit and finish is excellent. I also really like the Milanese Loop band. That too looks and feels great. I highly recommend this smart watch.

    I had wanted to get one of these. Been thinking and thinking, and when we went to BB in Ocala,FL and the price was a $100 less, I knew what I wanted to get my wife (the 38mm Sport) and me (the 42mm Watch). I need the watch because of what I do as work (IBEW electrician) so I will surely bash my wrist against a scaffold ladder or one and on, so the ability of the SS watch with the Sapphire glass is more for me. I do manly things and I need it to be able to survive. If not then I wasted $500 on a fancy bracelet. For me, I use the health apps and love to keep track of steps, miles, heart rate, etc. So it's worth it. Now I changed the flexible Sports band out for a SS link band, that I got off e bay for $17. It's black, fits good and I know if I do something that I am not going to loose the watch and never find it again. Of course, being a IBEW electrician, I would NEVER put my hands near anything electrified without the correct ARC flash and also taking everything metallic off, because if not, it is a place for the current to ARC and if you've ever seen someone up close and personal get ARC'ed, having to get that gold wedding band (which is one of the BEST conductors, gold is) it is, be all looks, NOT a pleasant thing. Think safe, be safe.

    Excellent Choice for iPhone owners

    We reviewed a huge number of wearables for our family and everyone had their favorite. My choice was the Apple Watch since I owned an iPhone and an iPad and thought it would be my best option. It is not overly bulky on my wrist like some of the other wearables I tried and it is extremely responsive and fast. I wish there was a way to show my steps on a watch face, but apple seems more interested in calories. Maybe that will change in the future. I bought a 3rd party band because I wanted a Milanese loop band to match the Black Stainless Steel case. it looks great, wears great and I would recommend to anyone who owns an iPhone and a must-have companion.

    I originally purchased the 42mm Apple Watch Sport in space gray. I watched the new iPhone announcement and was excited to see that Apple decided to offer the space black stainless steel model with the black sport band. After a bit of Buyers remorse I decided to exchange my watch and I'm glad that I did. The stainless watch feels much more premium than the sport watch. It's heavier and reminds me of my previous watch that I had wore everyday for two years. I was a little skeptical about the rubber sport band due to the fact that I have always wore a metal band. I was pleasantly surprised my the build quality of the fluoroelastomer. I do think I will eventually purchase the magnetic leather loop band.

    I still haven't use it to its fullest potential, but so far I love my Apple Watch, it gets great battery life despite what has been said, gives me my notifications, looks great, and tracks my health better than other devices I've owned... I just wish it had more watch faces, and allowed other companies to design watch apps, but so far so good!

    This watch is great, elegant, and functional. At first it takes a while to get used to it but once you do you will love it. It is great for people who are constantly on places where they can't pull out their phones and ignore a presenter or professor. Just look at the watch when you get a notification and you'll know whether it's important enough to use your phone or if you can just respond from the watch.

    It's one purchase that I know will last me for a long time. Even a heirloom. I just love not having to get my wallet out and going thru two or three debit cards a year. It so simple to use and convenient. And I am amazed just in the last month that I have purchased this Apple Watch how many retailers are using its technology almost every place I shop I can now just use my watch to pay. Never even having to get my wallet out!

    It's a lot of money!! But I absolutely love it. I went back and forth for many months trying to decide if it was worth the price or if id even use it. Before my Apple Watch, I'd take off my watch when ever I was home. Now I wear my Apple Watch all the time. Getting all my alerts on my wrist is great. The Space Black Stainless Steel watch is Beautiful. I am very impressed and very happy. The watch came with a Black band. I purchased the White band - The Black and White combo looks great.

    I have heard rumors that the Apple Watch has a battery that does not last throughout the day. After purchasing this watch that rumor has been disproven because I can charge the watch overnight and I can go my entire workday without the need to charge it. I am still getting used to the watch and its functions but so far all I can say is it is awesome. Once again Apple you have outdone yourself.

    The only smartwatch worthy of iPhone

    I've used several smart watches in the past, with my iPhone, and the Apple Watch is the definitive option! Firstly, it's the only one with a UI that flows with the iPhone. And with all the watch apps and the handoff feature, using Apple Watch is a breeze. Navigating through the apps is second nature, and having notifications from all the apps I choose, on my wrist, is a game changer. The watch is extensively customizable, although there are only so many types of watch faces. All in all, a beautiful piece of hi tech jewelry, and definitely the only smartwatch that should be used with iPhone.

    Kind of a tech guy and love the Apple Watch! However, I'm concerned the novelty of it might wear off after a while and at this price I would want a little more substantial feeling watch. This one, although stainless steel and a sapphire crystal feels slightly less than what you would expect. That's probably my only negative remark! Love that I can use pictures on my phone as the watch face and the voice to text works extremely well even in my Jeep with the radio on. Also like the Night Stand mode while it charges. I purchased this as an open box item and saved quite a bit...still has factory warranty and was able to purchase Apple Care so I definitely recommend that!

    An Ideal Companion for the iPhone

    The Apple Watch 42mm Space Black Stainless Steel Case is an excellent companion for the iPhone 6 Plus that I own. There is a near perfect pairing of the two devices and as such you can do many of the functions in Apple Watch that are presently being done through iPhone. You will always love the health related applications. I would have loved it more if the battery remained longer.

    I purchased my Apple Watch yesterday and was very excited to own one and got home and set everything up and it works wonderfully I like the black stainless steel even if it is a fingerprint magnent (I can't tell unless if it's up close to my face) I've waited since they unveiled the watch and now I finally have one definitely with the money

    I waited a while before purchasing my Apple watch. It was worth the wait. To top it off, Best Buy offered a $100 discount...so I bought TWO! I love the watch, it's features and never leave home without it. Awesome watch purchased from an awesome store!!
