    Some family members bought the apple watch series 2 and loved it. Fascinated by technology and hopped on the bandwagon and bought the series 1. I must say, it’s a fantastic purchase and really does make day to day activities easier to track. Love the activity app and the easy to use text back feature. Loved it so much I even bought my girlfriend an apple watch.

    The Apple Watch series one is a fantastic device. Coming in at a more affordable price then the series 3 this watch does it all from tracking your fitness with precision to calling and texting your friends at the blink of an eye, this watch is amazing and if your not sure if your into this form of tech after you give it a shot you’ll be hooked. It looks fantastic and you can customize bands and watch faces endlessly. I recommend this watch for everyone I got my wife one and my oldest son one after I fell in love with it. Enjoy.

    I was skeptical about getting a smart watch period. I wanted something to track my fitness so I was heading toward a Fitbit after careful consideration I figured I might as well spend the extra $100 to have a smart watch compatible with my iPhone. I had asked people who had iPhones if it was worth and a lot of people would say yes but not enthusiastically. I went ahead and decided to buy it after busting my butt working overtime and let me tell you it was the best decision of my life, I love every bit of it. Once you have it its like you can't live without it. Mile running is pretty accurate. Its easier to use than it looks and more importantly, it motivates you to walk with the activity tracker application. If you are even thinking about purchasing, stop wasting time and go get it

    If you didn’t buy an Apple Watch before because you heard the Apple Watch was slow, then I think this is a very good place to jump in. Combined with watchOS 3, the new CPU inside this watch makes this a watch fast. I always have my phone on me so the missing GPS is not an issue. For those people that want built in GPS, the Series 2 watches may be of more interest, as they add GPS and better water resistance as well as a brighter screen. I find I get through a day with over 50% battery left 7am to 11pm usually. For me, I find it a convenient "Helper" to my phone and I enjoy it so much that within a few days, I bought my wife her own. Both of us are happy. We even challenge each other with our step and motion count sharing. So for me SERIES 1 Great!

    Excellent Smart Watch

    The new Apple Watch Series 1 is a tremendous update to an already excellent smart watch. With the OS updates coupled with the speed boost of the new processor this Watch feels like it has a focus and does the great job I felt it did previously even better. Completing your circles and competing against friends is a great motivator to get moving and active. I don't run as my knee doesn't like it and I am not a swimmer so the two additional features of the series 2 were not worth the extra money to me. The Series 1 is water resistant to normal activities down to 1 meter. Just not meant for swimming and it still uses the phones GPS so if you keep your phone with you than you will have the same abilities for navigation and route tracking.

    This is my everyday watch. I’m an Apple product investor and Best Buy has allowed me to enjoy a wonderfully great investment. Not a problem at all, and it was an open box product. I love my everyday watch by Apple Inc.

    I must admit I was second guessing my purchase of the Aluminum Space Gray because I really wanted this one. I'm glad Apple Watches hold their value I was able to sell that one and upgrade to this amazing piece. An eye catcher I even find myself looking staring down longer at the time. I purchased the gold wireless beats by Dre and also the iPhone 7 gold. To say I'm happy about my purchase is a understatement

    By far one of the best and most accurate in smart wearables on the market. Always works and provides quick and smooth operation along with tracking. For my needs this was perfect. After having an android wear and switching I now know why the devices work so seamlessly. I wouldn’t give it up now. Simply amazing and perfect for what I was looking for. Battery life is awesome.

    I was really hesitant on buying an Apple Watch because I thought it was going to be a waste of money, but its been the most beneficial thing so far! I can make and answer phone calls, text messages, and look at my notifications without having to take my phone out of my pocket. I can even control my music without having to use my phone.
