    This watch is amazing. I work at a job where I can't look at my phone and it definitely helps so that I can keep track if anything important comes to me or any important calls.

    I could not decide between the first Apple Watch or the second one. After a bit of research I decided to save the money and go with the first one. I am very happy with my purchase.

    The Apple Watch is the best smart watch you can buy today IF your an iPhone user. I have had many smart watches and activity bands and this is by far the best and most comfortable.

    After 3 years my first gen watch screen shattered. Super cheap so didn’t want the latest model and got this. Battery last much longer and responsiveness is faster.

    Apple Watch Series 1 "No need to pay more"

    After owning the Apple watch Series 1 (upgraded version of original Apple watch), for quite some time I must say it's worth it for the price! Since the Series 1 is a lot cheaper than the Series 2, it's important to remember that both watches are essentially the same, except this one isn't able to be swam with while wearing and it doesn't have "built in GPS". BUT, if you are a consumer who wouldn't use any of those features (such as myself) , then why pay more for specs you wouldn't even use? The performance on both series 1 and series 2 are exactly the same. Therefore, give it some thought before you buy and decide which is best for you.

    My wife wanted an Apple Watch and the stores were sold out the week of Christmas so I was going to wait until after to purchase one. The day after Christmas someone had returned one to the Sunrise Best Buy and I purchased it because I trust Best Buy's warranty coverage. The Watch was a bit expensive especially since it was a return! It should have been discounted at least 10% but as you can read I got it anyway. The Watch is great from what my wife states. The only issue that I have is that for the first 3 days the battery would only last 4 hours before the phone died? We went into an Apple Store and Good God that was a waste of 2.5 hour of our day. We ended up calling Apple and they informed us about an update that was being sent out in 2 days. When the Watch was updated the battery lasted all day? If they can control how much of a charge a battery gets then what else can they modify?

    I love my Apple Watch! I'm the type who always has their phone on silent and leaves it laying around. But with my watch, I practically have my phone on my rest. A true lifesaver!

    Didn't expect to use this watch everyday, but it has a lot more utility than either of my GShock or my swiss watch. Battery life is great and it will get you through a whole day.

    I wore a chest strap heart rate(HR) monitor and my Apple Watch and they both read the same during workouts and at rest. My only grip for this watch is the battery life. Some times it lasts me a little over 24 hours if I reserve the battery when I don't need it or if I don't constantly use it. Overall good watch for $250.

    Very convenient when not able to use the iPhone, for example when driving or when in a place where it's inappropriate to use your actual phone. Discreetly answer a text or call.

    It meets and exceeds our expectations. It does a lot. I enjoy using the fitness part. Also like how it links with my phone so that I can answer phone calls and text messages with it. Have only been using it for about a week now so I am still learning how to use the many things that it is capable of doing!

    Love the Apple Watch. This is great for those who dont need it for running. It has no built in gps so it will not map out your run, but it is the same thing as the Apple 2.
