    I never thought that I can buy a Apple Watch, because for me is just a watch. But now I can see that’s more than a watch. You can track your health, your steps, almost everything. That was a good idea got it, but no only one, I buy two.

    We thought an Apple watch. After only having it for 2 weeks, the screen was just flashing. We returned it and got another watch. The guy who helped us was so great, helpful and knowledgeable and set our watch up.

    I purchased the iWatch from Best Buy, and it has been an excellent choice. The design is sleek and modern, and the features are incredibly user-friendly. It tracks fitness, heart rate, and even sleep patterns with high accuracy. The display is vibrant, and the battery life easily lasts through the day. Best Buy’s service was outstanding, and the product arrived in

    This is my first time using an Apple Watch, so I wanted the SE as a lower barrier to entry. So far I have absolutely loved it. It does take some setting up so that it works like you want it to, but I think it is worth it.

    The Apple Watch SE is a first-time buyer's smartwatchThe second-gen Apple Watch SE is $30 cheaper at $249, but it's best for first-time buyers, kids, or people on a budget who want a future-proof smartwatch. If you're looking to upgrade, the Series 8 is a better option for most people.
