    Bought this kind of on a whim and not being too tech savvy was surprised at how easy it was to set up and use. The charging isn't my favorite but it's fine, wish all Apple products used the same cords but it's not a huge deal.

    This watch is the prefect addition to my watch collection as well as my tech collecting. Sophisticated, yet techy enough to please me geeky girlfriend. Very simple learning curve. And safe trips with hands free operations.

    The series 1 was on sale so of course some of the features observed in the higher series will not be found on this one. The watch itself is cute and the color stands out. Would recommend getting a glass protector for it.

    I love that you get the notifications to your wrist and don’t even have to take your phone sometimes. It is very helpful at work and it was awesome to not have to take phone out at the movies. Definitely recommend it!

    I like the fact that you can get notifications even when you’re in another room away from your phone. I also have it set to track my fitness activity which helps me out to make sure I’m getting enough daily exercise.

    I love this watch. It’s the perfect sidekick to the iPhone and everthing syncs together perfectly. If you don’t need the cellular service, the series 1 is a great deal. And Best Buy was so easy to price match with.

    Does Everything I Wanted It To

    I purchased the Series 1 because it was reasonably priced and it had the features and functionality I was interested in. I did not need the additional features that the much more expensive Series 2 and 3 have. The Series 1 does exactly what I was hoping it would do and I am very pleased with it. My only quibble with the watch is, that like most Apple products, there is nothing in the box that can remotely called a "User's Manual" and even the info available on the internet is sketchy and hard to understand in many cases. I will say that Best Buy has obviously recognized that shortcoming. Shortly after purchasing my watch I got an email from Best Buy inviting me to bring my watch in and let their Geek Squad help me set it up. Kudos to Best Buy for their foresight and initiative in setting up this very helpful service.

    We have (2) in the family and the watches have proven VERY durable and user friendly. Intuitive iterates with the iPhone and stuff works without even requiring being "setup" because the phone does it for you.

    This watch is very nice. Basic and simple and gets to the point. I use it for work outs and checking my texts in class. Personally i wish i got a later version, like the series 3, but the series 1 was so cheap i couldn’t pass on it

    I recently received my Apple Watch and love it! I love the way it looks; very stylish and sleek. Very easy to operate it. I especially like the activity app that monitors my calories burned; amount of steps I've taken that day and the amount of activity time I did within that day. At first I wasn't sure if I would like the sports band in white. But I found out I love it and it's easy to keep clean! I will be buying some sports bands in different colors! Buy this Apple Watch; u will like it!

    This was a gift for one of my sons. It replaced a 42 mm size because he broke the first one. So far he seems to like it, the size between the 38 vs 42 is distinguished. But it will serve the purpose. He bought the white on white and it has a nice look, very sheik. If you like Apple products you will not be disappointed with the iwatch. The series 2 is out but over $100-200 difference in price. Because of previous experience, he had to settle for series 1 since we didn't purchase apple care.

    My wife is not a tech person but she loves her Apple Watch. I am so happy about the purchase. In addition, Best Buy matched the price of a local retailer and the price dropped twice. Great purchase!!!!

    My apple watch allows me to secretly text and hold conversations. Great for when you're not allowed to use a mobile phone during work hours but still need to be wary of communications from nanny
