    Very disappointed in the customer service from Best Buy. I ordered a watch on sale for a Christmas gift for my fiance. The box showed up to my home 2 days later. When I went to open the package I noticed the original tape had been tampered with, and it had been taped over with some clear tape. The box was abnormally light, and when I opened it my watch was not in the package, nor was the packing slip. I called customer support and sat on hold for a long while, and when I finally reached a representative he assured me I would have a refund issued and they would open an investigation on the matter. Immediately after that phone call I placed a pickup order for another watch at the closest Best Buy location to avoid this issue again. It was picked up the next day once it was ready. Today, I received an email from Best Buy asking for pictures of my damaged box with no product. I sent over the pictures as well as a narrative of how the original box tape had been tampered with. Not long after I had received another email stating they would not be issuing me a refund nor sending another product. So very disappointed in the customer service from Best Buy. I will be returning the second watch I bought and taking my money elsewhere. Best Buy will not receive any of my business ever again.

    This was such a steal at this price and a much better buy than the latest and greatest Apple watch. I track my sleep, exercise, and get great battery life. 10/10 would recommend. BestBuy had a better price than Amazon too!

    Bought this for myself after getting one for my girlfriend. I love the look and the feel of it. It is my first Apple Watch ever. I can barely tell/feel it on my wrist. Battery life is great.

    The Apple Watch SE is a first-time buyer's smartwatchWhen I reviewed the original Apple Watch SE in 2020, I was certain it was the best option for most people. In fact, my SE review was titled, “ Just get the Apple Watch SE .” Back then, the always-on display was relatively new, the bigger screen
