    I really enjoyed the design of the watch and the graphics were awesome! I ended up returning it and getting the new Fit Bit Ionic! I received the Apple Watch as a gift for Christmas and was really excited to use it, but unlike the fit bit, it doesn’t pick up on exercises when you start doing them, or if you go for a walk. It also doesn’t track your sleep, that requires you to download a different app, as well as downloading another app for food tracking. I just like having everything in one place and really loved my Fit Bit Blaze, so for me the casual ease of most fit bit watches is a better fit for me and my lifestyle! If you’re into having a mini phone on your wrist and want to make sure you can be in tune with the world 24/7, the Apple Watch may be for you! The Fit Bit at least shows you who’s texting or calling and if you see it’s important you can stop your workout or whatever you may be doing and go take the call! Apple you have the luxury of taking the call right from your wrist! The way Fit Bit is set up was a lot easier for me to catch on to, and there’s no extra monthly fee to use it since you don’t have internet access! All depends on your life style!

    The Nike+ 42mm series 3 watch started out great. I made the mistake of not purchasing AppleCare . Beware! Apple does not do screen repair on this device, when contacting to get a screen replacement the cost is the price of a new watch.So if your watch has any physical or accidental damage to the screen it is not covered by the limited 1 year warranty. The cost to replace my watch was 290 dollars. I decided not to do it. Pros- The functionality between my Iphone X is superb it does everything well and fast. GPS works great, nike+ run club is great. Cons- I never dropped this watch, or banged the screen against anything in the 6 months i owned it. The screen however from light to moderate activities or from charging developed a hairline crack around the edge. It was at this point I tried to make use of the limited warranty but was told any physical damage whatsoever was not covered by the limited 1 year warranty. They said it did not matter if it was accidental or not physical damage is not covered by the limited warranty. You can search for this same issue on the internet. Summary- Buy apple care or be out 300 dollars like myself. The watch was great until it wasn't anymore. Also there are no compatible replacement parts on the internet like previous generations of the watch. Also side note: You only have 60 days as of 2017 to purchase applecare on your watch. Previously it was one year form purchase date. So if you haven't purchased it AppleCare with your new series 3, id recommend doing so.

    it was an easy to use product. easily connect with Iphone user. got all notification from phone to the apple watch. however, to use music you have to subscribe to apple music, not spotify. wish the watch would be cheaper since it's basically an extension of notification center from the iPhone. wish it has a longer battery life too.

    What can I say? It's an Apple watch. I love it! I use it to track my fitness goals. I feel like Dick Tracey talking on it (a reference I'm sure most of the younger viewers of this won't get .. ) and love the convenience of answering texts without having to get my phone. Perfect! Colorful! Fun!

    I had a launch model back in 2015 and I upgraded because it s was painfully slow, this model is blazing in speed and battery lasts well more than a day now, but the cheap aluminum case and fake glass scratch so easily its shameful. I should have got the stainless..... Don't make my mistake.....

    I purchased my Apple Watch a week ago and it’s amazing. I learn something new everyday with my watch. I love tracking my workouts with the workout app. Comes handy with my Insanity Max 30 workout. I don’t have to fish for my phone when I’m busy I can just use my watch to quickly answer.

    The watch is great for reading text messages and it is an improvement from my fitbit Alta but the screen cracked after 4 days of use. It was an additional $130 to get it fixed. Awful customer service from Best Buy and apple

    Good watch but Feels Slow; Buy a Newer Model.

    I’ve been using this watch for quite a while, along with a Series 5. Buy a Series 5, 6, or SE. Build quality is Apple grade sturdy, but the processor speeds and storage plague this otherwise great watch. The user interface feels sluggish at best, and updates take up a good chunk of the storage capacity. If you can, shell out the money for a newer model starting from the Series 5. The Series 4 is slowly becoming obsolete and would only save you a few years, so I don’t recommend it.

    I kept this watch for a the full year before giving to my wife and upgrading to the 44mm series 4 this year only to turn around and take those back a few days later because the series 4 was just a biggest series 3 with the exception of a ECG which who knows exactly how accurate that is and I highly doubt a doctor would use that info but as for this Watch it was a very good watch but it’s just the same o same o from Apple every year anymore is the only problem but I do recommend only because I don’t recommend spending the bigger amount of money on the new series 4!

    I like the features on this watch. My last watch was a 1st series that I used until the face fell off. I like the band that comes with it (Nike Series). It seems less sweaty smelling after a good workout. There doesn’t seem to be much space on it though. Each update tells me there’s not much space and I have to make adjustments for them to download. That’s annoying and I’m not sure if this watch is refurbished or not, despite paying so much.

    Was disappointed in quality of face I bumped a wall and the face popped off After checking it I noticed a corner crack and sent it in cause it was only a couple months old and under warranty Apple claimed it was abused and that doesn’t happen that easy... well it did! They offered to replace it at close to the original cost!!! What the heck was the warranty for!!!!

    I bought this watch for my birthday gift. I was very excited to get it. But, I after 1 week of use. I don't feel that the product is value for money. Spending $400 is not a good idea for this watch unless you are big apple fan. Best buy charges 15% re-stocking fees for it if returned within 14 days which is worse that means you have to pay $60 for using it for 1 week.
