    I love all Apple products. They're premier when it comes to todays technology. This is my second Apple Watch, I purchased the sport version first. This stainless steel version has a quality feel to it, very solid and is even more beautiful that the sport. The sapphire glass feels exquisite to the touch. With Apple products, there comes a quality that is nothing short of perfection. If you can rationalize spending the money for this watch, you'll be more than happy with the look, performance and versatility of this version of the Apple Watch.

    This watch has changed my life. I use it everyday for a variety of different reasons and as a techy guy, it quenches my thirst. I have only scratched the surface when it comes to all the great things this watch can do but the way I am currently using it is great! If you are familiar with Apple products and have the desire to purchase an Apple watch, do it, you won't be disappointed.

    The watch has awesome features, longer battery than my 6s plus, I miss it when I don't have it on. The only complaint is that the magnetic leather band is uncomfortable so I got the sport band

    I love technology and even though This is a first generation watch and even though it might not be flawless it has great apps. Sure it would be better if you could leave your iPhone home and only have the watch but perfection is not here yet. There is a new update for it in September so this review is base only on the what you can do with this watch. Is it for everyone maybe not but it works for me and base on what I use this watch for. The only thing I was not a fan was the band but for the price is a great buy.

    I waited for the series 2 Watch to come out for the prices to drop on the first generation watches and it was worth it. I compared the speed to open a few apps on this Watch vs the series 2 and it was just 2 seconds slower. It's IOS3 making the difference. Not worth the money for the sapphire face I wanted as a nurse and no way I'd spend $700. So since I'm no marathon runner and don't need to take my smart watch swimming, I'm happy.

    The Apple Watch fits all the expectations that I had from Apple, except that it was a little bulky, but other than that an excellent product.

    Great product. I ordered this after the 2nd gen was released and I compared it to the 2nd gen my friend has. It is still pretty fast, for the user who just uses it for notifications. Paid about half the original price since they were clearing stock for new items. Love the leather band it came with.

    It's an very nice looking watch, however I feel there should be option of selecting strap/band size on the purchases. The one I got is a large one and is not fit for my wrist width. If possible I would like it to be replaced with a smaller band

    If you have an apple driven home, this just adds to the cake. The best part is that it keeps track of your activity even with out your phone. It's an apple product apple peeps must have.
