This apple watch is so smooth and stream lined. It works great with my iphone 7. I am surprised how far away from my iphone I can be before they lose connection with each other. I am able to walk around my whole house and my watch and phone stay connected. The watch is easy to use. I did not get the watch with the built in gps. If you are a runner, swimmer, or biker you may want to spend the extra $100. Love this watch and would highly recommend this to any one who has an iphone. Once you have the watch you will not want to be without one. This screen is very bright and easy to read and see even in the day time.

Watch does all the functions that I was desiring - tracks my steps, calories, encourages me to "move" when I have been still for tooo long. My favorite feature is learning at the end of the day how active I was throughout the day - sometimes you surprise yourself!

Have been wanting an Apple Watch for a while. Opted for the series 1 as the GPS and waterproof features really aren't a necessity for me. Like the size of the 42mm. Watch was pretty easy to set up and is easy to use. The Watch app on my phone is also easy to navigate and I haven't had any trouble syncing. I like the activity tracker. It is a bit expensive for a watch, even with the additional features like access to photos, music, and the ability to change out the background, but I knew that going in so I wasn't surprised when it came time to check out. Overall I love my watch and am glad I bought it.

I got one on a black Friday sale and so far it has been great. I used to have a different smart watch and it had several issues but the iWatch has somewhat exceeded my expectations. Theres plenty of cool features and apps for it. Not a bad investment.

This watch is worth every penny. I bought the series one after extensive research into it. My main concern was that it's not technically rated for water resistance like the series 2. But boy I'll tell ya. It will stand up to pouring rain any day. As for the other features it's super quick to throw out a text or check any data that is available. My only qualm is the delay when answering phone calls. It seems there is a slight delay when using the watch as a phone. But if that's seriously what you're buying the watch solely to do, I suggest you just buy a phone. As a smart watch this thing is tops! It's comfortable to wear and isn't nearly as bulky as some people make it out to be. Sure it's not slim but to pack all the goodies into it you need a little heft. I love that I can control my music throw out a text and check the weather all without pulling out my phone. Seriously good piece of tech here.
Oh and btw I'm certainly not a paid reviewer, I've heard about those a$$holes, this is not one. I'm a real guy who demands quality product.

Handy smart watch. Lets you read and reply to messages, sets and alerts you of fitness goals, and is compatible with many other apps. Sleek design with many opportunities to customize the look with bands, wallpapers, and colors.

Better then First Gen

So let me start off by saying I absolutely love the Apple Watch with the upgrade of the dual core processor. I went with the series 1 because I really don't need the water proofing or gps. I liked the original one but it was a little slow. I mean what first gen product is never slow. When I heard they were upgrading the proccesor I had to get it. And I'm not disappointed. This is what the first gen should have been. Quick. If your a big apple fan I recommend series 1. If your a runner or a swimmer AND a apple fan I recommend series 2.

Sometimes I can’t look at my phone while I’m driving or working. With the I watch I just look down at my wrist for who’s calling or texting. The heart rate monitor and gps is also no e to have when working out or running.

He loves the watch, and it has done a great job of keeping him more active by allowing him to track his activity better each day. I knew it would because I have had an Apple Watch for a year and have really loved mine.

Fantastic quality in both the smart watch itself and the watch band. Very easy to clean with minimal effort and also doesn't get disgusting like some I've seen. Battery life is very good and I typically have about 50 or 60 percent remaining(fairly heavy use) after a 10 hour work day. The only thing I have some issues with is the voice dictation at times is worthless and unusable. That being said, every other feature on my Apple Watch is great and I would recommend this product to anyone who is interested in trying it.

I decided on the Series 1 because I don't need GPS or swim. The Series 1 has the same processor as the Series 2 while maintaining the first gen casing. I love not having to dig my phone out to read or respond quickly to messages. I use the watch as an extension of my iPhone mostly but the fitness tracking inspires me to be more active and conscientious of my daily habits. Overall I am please with the excellent battery life especially with WatchOS 3.1. I can easily go 2 days with normal usage on a single charge.

This item will serve as an upgrade to a Fitbit Charge and offer more functionlity such that it coincides with our current iPhone 7. The price on this item was great, especially with a Target price match.

The AW had been on my wishlist for about a year but the price wasn't justified in my mind. Then another retailer crashed the scene with their 2016 Black Friday AW discount of about $70. I pounced and made the purchase because Best Buy price matched.
The AW itself is a nice piece of tech that makes the iPhone experience much better. The battery life on the series 1 could be better but that's not a problem for me. Overall it is worth what I paid and meets my all my smart watch needs.
