    My husband got the black sport one last year for fathers day, he wanted it, he got it and he loves it. I was one who thought i didnt need it and life was fine without it. The more I saw him use it the more it made sense. I finally picked one up. I got the stainless steel during the sale. Had to wait a week to receive it in the mail. Longest week in my life! When I finally got it, it was GORGEOUS! (I was teady to return it if it was less than what I expected) Due to the updates required, it took over 8 hrs before i can pair it with my iPhone 6. I finally got to use it, and it was worth every penny! I wear it proudly everyday. The battery lasts me from morning till late at night, i put it in the charger at bedtime and its ready to go the next day. Highly recommended (battery life runs down faster if you keep messing with the settings and face-which i did in the beginning, once you pretty much have the watch set to your liking then battery life will keep up)

    I Am Really Enjoying My New Apple Watch

    I love all my Apple products, so it is not surprising that I love my new Apple Watch. It is cute (I totally love having the watch face as Mickey Mouse). I am really using the tracker to improve my health. I also bought a 2nd band in a totally different color (red). So, now it's like I have not one but two Apple watches. Adds to the value AND adds to the fun. The price I paid was way less than this same watch is listed at in every other store. GREAT SALE! Thank you Best Buy! (If the photo comes through please not the band looks orange in this photo, but it's red.)

    Bought this watch to give to my wife for her 40th birthday. She wasn't to sure about it at first but now likes it a lot. She likes that she can leave her phone in her purse and still get her calls and texts threw the watch. Great deal at Best Buy!

    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.

    Amazing!!

    I love this watch!! I had a Fitbit HR before this so I got phone calls and my vitals but the Apple Watch takes it to a whole new level! I love that I can turn my phone alarm off through it. I set reminder alarms to get out the house on time so the kids don't miss the bus. Before the watch Id hear the alarms on the other side of the house and have no way to turn them off without stopping the final process I was in such as packing a lunch, then running across the house to turn it off. Now with the tap of a screen on my watch this problem is solved. I also like that I can set alarms on my watch that aren't going to go off on my phone. Right now I have them set at various times to remind me to drink more water. It's been working out great! The only thing I'd change is to make the vibration a bit more stronger. The battery lasts all day! I have even with a lot of use never needed a mid day charge. My case is holding up well. I'm clumsy and it hasn't gotten all beaten up. I'm really impressed with that. I put my phone on silent all the time and would miss my kids phone calls. Not anymore. This watch is a life saver for our family. Definitely recommend especially for busy parents!

    I returned the sport option & upgraded to the stainless version. There have been quite a few comments regarding trying to read it in the sunlight but getting a glare because of high resolution. I haven't experienced that nor the skin irritation. The stainless version gives off more of a classic look which is more my style. Love the convenience of not having to reach for my phone to see who's calling, texting or emailing.

    I love being able to answer the phone without digging my phone out of my purse. I love just lifting my wrist and asking Siri to set a reminder. I love telling Siri to set a timer or two when I am cooking. I love getting texts and emails from my important people on my wrist so I don't miss any of them. It's a great watch!

    I loved it the minute I put it on, was very easy to pair with my phone. I upgraded to newest iPhone shortly after getting my I watch and had no issues getting it to pair to it also. Makes getting/sending messages and making/receiving phone calls so easy! I think it's a great product!

    The Perfect Watch

    After a week of searching between the different models of Apple iWatches that were available, I finally settled with this one for my girlfriend. I compared different models back and forth, not being able to make up my mind. After spending 20mins with an online customer service agent; I finally settled with this one. The customer service agent was beyond helpful and truly made the difference in my deciding to purchase this product. My girlfriend loves the watch and wears it everyday. The apps that are installed on the watch make using her phone (without really touching the phone) easier. She can send text messages with unique emoji's (very important to her), check her email, make phone calls, and many more options. As a health tracker, this watch is perfect. The best part about my purchasing experience, was the fact that I questioned the customer service agent three times on the price because of the sale price. I thought it was a typo or some computer mistake. But no...it was a great deal! Thanks for everything Best Buy! I give the product 5/5 Stars and the customer service agent 7/5 Stars!

    I like the looks of the stainless steel case against the black band. Battery life has been a non-issue, as it easily gets through the day with room to spare. I like the customizable watch faces and the fitness tracking. Other than that, apps have a ways to go before the watch does much more than act as a phone notification tool.

    I am pleasantly surprised at how much I love my watch. I thought I would like it, but it totally exceeded my expectations. It is great to be able to receive and answer my text messages, receive news bulletins, and answer phone calls right on my wrist.

    Myself and my fiancé both had the Microsoft Band. After eight months we ended up returning them because of poor battery life, in reality the other issue was the lack of functionality too. Despite the price hike the Apple Watch is amazing, definitely worth it. Flawless design, great screen, intuitive interface and menus, a large number of supported apps and a a great battery life. I went with the stainless steel version for the sapphire glass screen and the durable body.

    Purchased this as a gift and it is still in it’s prime. Great option if you’re looking for a smart watch. I love the messages/call/alarm feature on it, as I’m not always by my phone.

    Bought the Stainless steel case with the "rubber" strap. It was easy to set up with my Apple iPhone and it works great. I missed a lot of messages before my watch started notifying me by vibrating.

    I bought this watch to replace a different activity tracker/watch. It has lots of great feature for tracking different workouts and I really like that it tracks mileage as well. I like the quick text responses I can make from the watch instead of having to dig out my phone. I'm still trying to figure out how to connect my Bluetooth ear buds to the watch but I haven't spent that much time on it. The size is good, I would have preferred the 42mm to make it easier to see but at $200 off I couldn't pass up the 38mm. I wish the battery lasted longer most days the low battery signal comes on before I'm going to bed.
