    ICLOUD LOCK WATCH

    I bought the open box watch in “excellent condition “ but when the watch arrived it was “locked by owner”. I went to the stores around my area and none of them could help me. Customer support by phone could not either. They sent me to apple store and still nothing. After days of going back and forth they tracked the store that sent me the watch and it was more than a hour away from me, but they told me that was my only option. When I arrived to that store in Pacoima, Ca they said the same thing other stores near my home said. I am so dam frustrated. As today i just sent the watch by mail and haven’t received my money back. Why best buy advertise something as “excellent condition” but they don’t even check the product before selling.

    I absolutely love my new Apple Watch SE! As a busy young mom juggling work, family, and errands, this watch has already become one of my most dependable daily tools. Right out of the box it looked sleek — the midnight aluminum finish with the sport band is stylish but subtle, which I love when I’m running around after little ones or out on errands. What I especially appreciate: It makes staying connected so much easier. I can quickly glance at messages or calls without pulling out my phone while holding a baby or supervising the playground. The fitness and activity tracking features motivate me to sneak in little bursts of movement throughout the day (even just walking between school drop-off and the grocery store). I feel like I’m doing something for myself, which is rare these days! The notifications and calendar reminders help me keep track of appointments, playdates, and work deadlines — essentially everything a mom has to juggle. Having that right on my wrist means fewer times I drop or misplace my phone. The sport band is comfortable and durable. I’ve already done backyard playtime, stroller walks, and kitchen-sink cleanup, and it’s held up nicely without irritation or feeling bulky.

    I’ve been using the Apple Watch SE 2nd Gen (2024) for a few weeks now, and it’s easily one of the best tech purchases I’ve made this year. The design is sleek and lightweight, and the Starlight color looks even better in person. Performance is smooth, with apps loading quickly and the interface being responsive. I mainly use it for workouts, notifications, and sleep tracking—and it handles all of that beautifully. The heart rate sensor and fitness tracking are very accurate. I also love how it integrates seamlessly with my iPhone. Battery life is decent—I get about a day and a half per charge, which works fine for my routine. While it doesn’t have the Always-On display or ECG like the higher-end models, I don’t feel like I’m missing much. Overall, it’s a fantastic value for the price. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a solid smartwatch experience without the premium cost of the Series 9 or Ultra.

    Pros: Great Value & Core Functionality • Same fast S8 chip as higher-end models, delivering noticeably snappier performance compared to the original SE — estimated at a 20% speed boost. • Sleek, familiar design in 40 mm or 44 mm sizes with aluminum cases in Midnight, Starlight, and Silver. Back is nylon composite for lighter weight. • Comfortable for all-day wear, with haptics, swim‑proof build (50 m), and seamless integration into the Apple ecosystem. • Essentials covered: accurate heart‑rate tracking, GPS, compass, crash detection, fall detection, cycle and sleep tracking, altimeter, and Apple Pay. • Smooth watchOS experience with access to recent watchOS updates (watchOS 9 and beyond). • Frequently discounted, with typical pricing around $249 and occasional dips to ~$169–$189 during promotions. ⸻ Cons: Missing Some Premium Features • No Always-On display—screen stays off until wrist is raised. • Lacks advanced health sensors: no ECG, SpO₂, or temperature sensor, limiting more detailed tracking. • Battery Life remains around ~18 hours—average among Apple Watches, but nothing exceptional. • Design somewhat dated compared to newer Series models; thicker bezels and older overall shape.

    I'm so glad to have purchased this Apple Watch. This is my second one. My first Apple Watch was ok, but this one was a lot better. It never fails me, helped me to track my daily steps and achieve my health goal. I definitely recommend this watch to all my friends.

    I’ve had a $30 smartwatch for years that I felt worked just fine for what I needed it for, but once it stopped working I decided I should invest in something that would last a bit longer and give me more features. I’ve had this watch for 3 months now and I’m so happy I finally decided to cave and buy it. My main reason for getting it was fitness related, I wanted something that could accurately count my steps, but also offer a bit more to help on my journey. Safe to say I love it so far! I also love that I don’t have to constantly have my phone when I walk out of a room because it’s always on my wrist. Would definitely recommend! Even though this watch isn’t the newest with all the additional bells and whistles, if you’re someone who doesn’t need the newest tech and just want something more affordable, but still with everything you need on it, this is the one!

    I’m happy with this. I just wanted something basic to count my steps and to ring when I’m getting a phone call or text it does the job. Was on sale. Got the gps version

    I bought this watch in case I had a fall. Every day, I discover something new that this watch is capable of doing for me, tracking my physical activity, making calls while I’m driving, Reminding me not to sit too long. It has easy to set timers that I use while I’m cooking and reminding me not to leave my clothes in the washing machine too long, etc. It even reminds me a set time each evening to make sure I get plenty of sleep. This watch has amazing functions. Without hesitation, I would recommend it.

    Had to purchase a new watch after my old one (series 3) just quit taking a charge. Did not need all the "bells & whistles" of the higher models. Happy with the SE 2nd gen.
