This has been a lot better than my previous series 3.
The best of all is that, even been the same size as series 3 the screen it’s bigger and the bezels look much nicer on this model.

Dopest Running Watch

This is the nicest running watch I have used. I just switched to an iPhone a year ago and thought it was worth a try with the watch. I got the 40mm because I have small wrists and want something light for running. It is perfect and such a good deal here!

I must say it is a Beautiful watch, my Very first Apple Watch ever.
When I opened the Box, I had to update the watch using my iPhone watch app. I had trouble downloading the update , it kept saying I wasn’t connected to the internet even though I was.
So I left both my iPhone and the watch charge overnight. And In the morning the download finally showed up on my phone and I was able to connect & download. The download took around 1 hour.
But yeah i love the customizable faces & colors. I have a sport face for the gym & a classic face for like dressing up.
I don’t wear it everyday. Only for the gym & parties. I love my Apple Watch. I got it Black Friday for 249$ what a Score! :)

Nice to have to make sure I walk enough now that I’m pregnant. Also certain features are pretty useful since I’ve been very forgetful recently. Easy to use if you read the manual if not it might take you a while to figure things out

The new Apple Watch 5 is not able to be paired with my iPhone 11 Pro Max. It constantly says no internet connection during pairing process. The Apple customer service said this is their software flaw and had no idea when Apple can fix it. IfApple cannot fix it within a few days, I have to return it.

Always-On Display is a win

Great watch, always-on display works well and uses less battery than I expected (though battery life is lower than my old series 3). Love the Nike+ bands/faces that come with these editions. I got mine on sale and would absolutely recommend going for a generation old if you can find them on sale; unless you absolutely need blood oxygen monitoring 24/7. Personally I picked up a pulse oximeter for $15 years ago that is perfect for how often most folks actually need it.

this is more of a "nice to have" rather than a "need to have" gadget. excellent product none the less. i enjoy being able to "unplug" from my device, without unplugging from reality(schedules, work, etc.). i also like that having this motivates me to be more fit and active by seeing my fitness goals and such. you can customize the bands to fit the occasion, (great feature). the holes in the nike sport band allow for breathability when working out. i chose the smaller 40mm screen since i have smaller wrists and its perfect. i didn't want the watch to swallow my arm with its bezel.

Best looking Smartwatch with greater motivation

This will be long review and I will separate it from multiple view point:
Best Buy: Best Buy shipped the product after 10 days of order placed, it was much delayed. I had to follow up multiple times. Even I had to pick it up from USPS by myself as USPS deliberately delaying from their end after reaching to their local store and updating incorrect status updates like could not enter, door close etc. It was bad delivery experience and that's why I am removing 1 star.
Apple Watch Review:
Pros: 1. I am glad with the battery life I gain as I constantly getting 2-days off juice out of it. I had to tweak some settings changes in order to achieve that.
2. I have turned off always-on display, turned off multiple notifications which I do not need, turned off background app refresh which I did not need, turned off some accessibility, turned on Enable Siri Only while Press Digital Crown and turned off most of the Activity Reminders. I do not need apple watch to remind me what to do, I know what goals I need to achieve. These settings help me get full 2-days battery life.
3. This is my first apple watch and I am very delighted to use it for months. It sync perfectly with my iPhone. Since mine is gps + cellular version, I can completely get rid off my iPhone and still have all the connectivity. I can receive, dial, speak, take call only using my apple watch. It can navigate my way as well. I have also enabled carrier plan on my watch which I use while I am out.
4. I am wearing it everyday since morning to night and I am enjoying it every bit. I have used Apple watch SE as well but series 5 is better than SE.
5. The ECG and Heart Rate monitor feature is most useful for me. I love and need to track my health. The other health related features like fall detection, noise check is nice to have but not useful for me.
6. Ever since I am wearing apple watch, i started activity. I feel urge to close all the 3 activity rings everyday and since I am following that minutely, I am started to getting in better shape and better health. I have just started and long way to go but I feel motivated. This is biggest win for me for purchasing apple watch.
7. Watch is waterproof, so spills do not matter. I have used Apple watch SE as well but series 5 is better than SE in many ways although I bought it even lower price than SE.
8. Only issue I have is smaller display. It's nothing fault with apple watch, I consciously purchased 40 mm version. It is small with respect to my wrist size but the deal I bought this was jaw-dropping stellar and hence could not resist. But 44 mm ones would have been perfect.
9. Customizable watch faces which is very nice and I have added my complications as per my need.
10. Nike Sport band is best looking watch band among all variants. It fits perfectly and wearing continuously does not feel any uneasy. Easily swappable and lockable watch band.
Cons: 1. The only issue I found with my apple watch that Breathe app icon behaves differently, sometimes its getting bigger and smaller respectively while inhale and exhale and other times the icon remains unchanged. May be a software glitch.
So, in a nutshell, if you get extreme deal on series 5 and can't afford series 6, go for it. If Series 5 value is about same as SE, go for 5. Series 5 is 90% similar to series 6 with only omission of blood oxygen saturation monitor (SPO2) and next gen processor. Overall it's best looking smartwatch with nice experience and even greater motivation.

Just as good as the apple watch 6. Works great for workout tracking, messages, you name it. Great screen size looks awesome. Only problem I have is the battery life. I work out everyday and need to charge it at the end of the day. Other than that it's a great guy for price. Don't waste your money on a apple watch 6 just get the 5

So I am really glad I bought this watch. It has been supper helpful with tracking my steps. Even being able to go swimming with it and not worry about damaging it. Perfect for this.
I will say cellular option is nice add-on

Upgraded from a AW3. Great upgrade! Screen is much larger and I really like the ECG functionality. I didn’t think that the AW6 was worth the extra price. Recommended!

I bought this for my son. He was recently diagnosed with Type1 Diabetes and this lets him see his blood glucose levels during school without taking his phone out of his bookback. We use the Dexcom 6 CGM and this let's him see the readings on his watch. I look forward to the day when the CGM can pair directly to his watch instead of his phone so we get readings all the time (as opposed to only when his phone is in close proximity to him).

Just get it! The Apple Watch Nike Series 5 is a superior value than the new SE especially on sale. Same processor as the SE but with always on and ECG built in. Bought the cellular version to have the flexibility to add to my cell plan when needed but works great tethered to an iPhone.

Grabbed this watch on a sale they had. It's a gift for a loved one. It's an apple watch what else can you say. It does so much. Steps,sms,email,maps,heart rate etc. If you have an iPhone then it's almost a given to get this watch. Great companion to it. The cell option is great. If you forget your phone at home you can still receive calls and text on the go.

I have had this watch for a year now, and I haven’t once thought about getting another one. Even with the most recent iOS updates it’s still just as fast and responsive as day one. I never bother to link it to Verizon because hey, If I ain’t answering my phone, I surely ain’t answering my GO GO Gadget watch:)

Ordered during Black Friday deal. The price was less than SE at regular price so went with this. Watch was delivered on time. I have been having it on my wrist since I broke open the seal (except when I had to charge it). It is whipping me to achieve my daily fitness goals. Probably the only gripe is I have to charge it everyday.
