This watch is wonderful! It was much more than expected and I’ve had it for some time. It stood the test of time along with some hard bumps and drops!

I’m happy that I waited for this model and did not opt to save money by getting the 4th edition. The always on screen with great battery life makes this a great smart watch. I run between 120 and 200 miles a month and use this without a phone to listen to podcasts and music over cellular while tracking my workout, then working all day with notifications, etc. I have never run out of battery life, I place it on the charger every night at bed time. This device goes great with the rest of the Apple ecosystem.

I like how comfortable and secure it feels. I noticed last week what looked like food stuck on the band. Upon closer inspection it was stuck sand grains from a recent visit to the beach. The sand was stuck in the loops and took a few minutes to get them all out. For me, it's not the best for the beach for sand and slow dry time. I do wear it every time i eskate. Great band with limitations.

Happy with my Series 5 - Best Buy sells Apple Care

I'm happy with my Apple Watch Series 5. I saved $100 by choosing the 5 than the 6. I don't miss any of the extra enhancements the 6 has. They are insignificant to me now. AT&T is going to charge me an extra $10 per month to add it to my plan so I'll take the savings and - sort of - apply to the AT&T fee for this year.
Since I bought it new from Best Buy I was able to get the 2 year Apple Care insurance. I think as soon as the 6 went on sale, the 5 disappeared and Best Buy seems to have gotten a lot of the overstock. Best Buy was the only place that offered the genuine Apple Care package. Other sellers sometimes included other insurance provider packages.
I've had good experiences with Apple Care. They replaced my Series 0 when it broke by giving me a Series 1. It's nice to have for peace-of-mind since this is something I'm probably going to use a lot for swim workouts and smacking the lane line with this piece of jewelry is going to happen any day now I'm sure.
My last Apple Watch's (Series 1) microphone broke and I consider these device a bit fragile. I still have my Series 1 from at least 5 years ago and I've noticed no degradation of battery life.
The Nike version has a few extra watch faces, some green accents on some of the other watch faces and a band with holes. Don't get hung up on these features. I would strongly consider the 5 Series again, especially if I were to find one used for a good price.

Best all around smart watch. The always on display is a game changer, big beautiful clear screen, great fitness tracking, and the option to add cellular service makes it perfect. I got it on sale for $349, which is in incredible deal and a much better value than getting a Series 6 (in my opinion). WatchOS 7 makes it feel very snappy and the battery easily lasts all day even with a workout or two. Seriously, don’t miss out on this while it’s on sale

Watch is great if upgrading from a series 3 but I still don't feel it's worth the 500+ price tag. If you already have a Series 4 you are not missing anything. The always on display works nicely though eats through battery very quickly. Even doing minimal tasks the watch will last maybe 24 hours to 36 hours and unless you want the battery to die middle of day 2, you need to charge every night. I keep it off since it extends the life to 48+ hours. Bottom line, if you got cash to burn go right ahead. If not, definitely wait for a sale of at least $50!

I started with the 2 gen to the 3rd and 4th which I gave to my wife, who was convinced that she didn’t need it! Now they’re inseparable!
There are some that say there’s much difference between the 4and the 5, but 32 gigs of ram storage and the faster processor maybe so myself I do love the always on feature!
I did go with the cellular versions on the 4 and 5, but that’s your preference besides got great deal on the Nike version so I’m pleased and the interface with my iPhone and Mac Mini are pretty awesome Apple does a great job!

I was looking for a watch that could track my cycling routes. This product by Apple and Nike has far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it to individuals with fitness goals for the summer. My only critique is that the strap band included with the watch is not the most secure. Be sure to invest in an Apple watch screen protector (e.g., OtterBox).

This watch is just fantastic.
I set it up in 10 minutes and was already getting fitness reports and breathing exercises.
If you are looking for an all a round Apple watch, this one is it.
Perfect size and weight and is very rugged and the band is awesome. The gps is very accurate and the screen is bright and easy to read.
I would tell anyone to get this watch and start enjoying the Nike fitness scheme.

This is my second Apple Watch; I previously had the Series 3 42mm. To be honest, I am a loyal Apple customer. I have an iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Apple TV, etc. Apple makes incredible products, with high quality build and user friendly software. Typically, Apple products don’t have the latest and greatest tech inside of them. Samsung and other Android manufacturing companies usually seem to beat them to the punch with newer tech (I.e. In-display fingerprint sensors, folding displays). But in my opinion, Apple takes the necessary time to perfect their products. Right out of the box, their products just feel smoothed out. Both hardware and software just make sense. And the Apple Watch isn’t any different. All of the changes I had wanted from the Series 3 were addresses in the Series 5. The smaller bezels and larger display. The louder speaker. Always-on display is so nice, and I haven’t noticed a drain in battery because of it.

Had a bit of a learning curve for me.. Had trouble getting different watch bands on and off.. Still have a little trouble but could be the band.When I bought the watch I really didn’t know if I would use it enough to warrant the purchase. After having the watch for about a month,I am pleasantly surprised how much I use the watch....Telling me when I have been sitting too long is a feature I like as well as the cellular part of it . All in all I am satisfied with the purchase and recommend

If you’re like me and like to leave your phone at home, I would definitely recommend this product. You are able to get your phone calls, text messages, and also monitor your activity throughout the day. I myself have Apple Music and I am able to stream it through my watch by connecting it to my Bluetooth headphones or my Bluetooth in my vehicle. Overall it is pretty much the same as just the regular Apple Watch with only a GPS, But you do get the benefits of using this as pretty much a secondary phone. Also purchase any Apple Watch especially if you lose your iPhone all the time.

I am not a techy-type person, I don’t rush to buy the latest gadget or gizmo. My husband suggested that I buy this watch when my old faithful analog watch not longer kept time. I resisted, who needs a $500 watch?? Well, he surprised me for Christmas, and I reluctantly agreed to keep it. I’m so glad I did! I use the watch of course, but it has freed up my hands while taking the place of my phone. We have little ones so that is a blessing. It also has made me more aware of my daily activities, and allows me to set fitness goals. Overall, I have loved having this watch!

Switched back to iOS

I’ve found this smartwatch a lot more useful than my old Samsung Gear. Switched back from Android to iOS and really love the activity tracker. Initially, I thought the 44mm was slightly big on my small wrist but screen size is awesome and it’s comfortable. The battery life is great, I have yet to have a dead watch while wearing all day and receiving notifications. My Samsung would constantly die after an 8hr day at work. I’m a fan of traditional looking watches which is why I originally purchased a Samsung Gear, but the Apple Watch still looks pretty stylish when changing the band to a brown or black strap. Happy with my purchase.

Like the always on face. The activity tracker is awesome. The cellular feature allows me to run/exercise without requiring having my iPhone with me.
