    Use it while traveling. Having your boarding pass on your wrist is great. Keeping track of steps and getting stand reminders while flying and transiting airports is good. Discrete glances at email and messages is good.

    No need to get the latest series 3 if you don’t need cellular and the watch. All the stock apps on this series open quickly and even third party apps open in an acceptable time. So it’s not worth it to me to spend and additional $150 on the series 3. This is my first Apple Watch and I love it. It has made me sooo much less dependent on my phone. I should have gotten one sooner but prices where still too high for my blood. $179 for a 42mm series 1 is a great price and I’m glad I waited.

    I haven't worn a watch in years, dating back to the pager days as even they told me the time. But I love my watch. It does enough that I can enjoy it. Keep track of my cardio, it's a remote for iphone, shazaam, emails.

    i was back-and-forth between this and the newer Apple Watch 2, but ultimately decided that the added GPS + waterproofing really was not enough for me to pay the extra $$$ I wear this every single day and have multiple bands for different occasions.

    Great watch for increased productivity. Good choice in comparison to the Series 2 if you do not require GPS or complete waterproofing.

    An Apple Watch is not essential. At best it is an extension of some of your iPhones' features. But if you are looking at a fitness tracker, an Apple Watch is great because of what else you can do. The band is surprisingly comfortable and it looks very cool. Highly recommend getting a screen protector. Good for: Steps Exercise (although you need start the tracker and keep your phone near) stand up reminders Getting texts in a busy place when you can't get to your phone Figuring out who is calling/taking a call where you don't have your phone in hand. Bad: Doesn't track stairs Doesn't track sleep Upgrade bands are $pendy The charger isn't universal

    I did my research for well over two months on whether or not I should purchase this smart watch and I love the Apple Watch. It does not replace my FitBit Charge HR...yet. The battery life can be a bit minimal, but that can be modified depending on how you use it and what notifications, etc. you prefer to enable. So far, I'm going on 24+ hours without a full charge and I'm at 72% and I wore it all day yesterday and today (1/08/2017 @ 12PM) Perfect for sports scores, quick iMessages, Nest app, glances at email.

    Ordered on 12/9 called them on 12/21. It was never shipped and they have no idea why. It was to arrive on 12/15 then on 12/18. The best they did for me was refund my money Best Buy dropped the ball on this one.

    My son loves the watch. It was his 16th birthday present. It synced perfectly with his phone and iPad. He uses it everyday. He monitors his vitals, as well as texts, emails, and takes pictures with it. It charges easily and holds its charge quite a long time.

    I love this watch. My daughter told me that I would not like it and it would overwhelm me. Wrong! It has been easy to handle and I love that I can just use the watch for many functions. Especially for all of my exercise activities. I'm a runner and cyclist and it comes in very handy. I love it. And I am overwhelmed,,,,with joy. Thanks Apple,,,, AND YES. I have referred it to my best friend and he went and got the same one, and will get one for my wife as a mother's day gift. Shhhhh. don't tell her.

    it has most of the features of an Iphone, but compact! I use my apple watch to mainly text and for my workouts. It's easy to just hit start work out and it tracks your calories, steps, and heart rate. Also, I like how it reminds you to "stand up". Considering that I work sitting down, there are times when I forget to stand b/c of how busy I'll get at work. The only feature I don't really utilize is Siri, but I don't usually use her on my Iphone either. I enjoy it and it's worth every dollar.
