Okay, I wasn’t planning to love it this much… but wow. It tracks my workouts like a champ, reminds me to move when I’ve been in spreadsheet land too long, and the heart-rate accuracy? Chef’s kiss. The screen is brighter, the battery hangs in there even after long training days, and I can answer texts mid-stretch without breaking form. It’s like having a mini accountability partner on my wrist—minus the attitude.

I’ve been using this watch daily and I’m really happy with it. The screen is clear and bright, the battery lasts all day, and it’s comfortable to wear even for long hours. I like how easy it is to check notifications, track activity, and control music without pulling out my phone. Setup was quick and it pairs smoothly with my phone. Overall, it looks good, works great, and does exactly what I need it to do. Definitely worth it.

Under high stress I lose strength and equilibrium. My neighbor had been Checking on me morning and night to be sure my lack of equilibrium didn’t leave me broken on the floor.
I’m a waterholic but since my husband died I can go all day without drinking so I’ve set alarms for every two hours two remind me to drink water. I’m also using the app that checks my movement stand walk exercise. I’m failing exercise. I check my sleep which is currently between ok sort of and low. Not good so I’m trying to get a schedule for when to go to bed and when to wake up. It’s helping but I wake up too many times. Blame part of that on the Kidts. The boys are pretty stressed out too. Like now, they live in my lap if I’m sitting. I love being able to play my music. Also answer calls when my phone is at the other end of the house. One problem, I had to get a new band immediately off Amazon. The original hurts my skin when on/off. Too difficult to get it tightened and I find it just plain uncomfortable. I got a metal mesh with magnet who’s is perfect. Easy on easy off. I never have to open it all the way. I wear my watch with the crown on the left bottom. For me, it’s more functional.

I’ve been using the Apple Watch Series 11 (GPS+Cellular) 42mm in Rose Gold with the Light Blush Sport Band, and overall it’s been an excellent experience.
From the moment you put it on, the design really stands out — the rose gold aluminum case paired with the Light Blush band looks sleek, elegant, and very stylish. It’s lightweight and comfortable to wear all day, whether I’m working out, in meetings, or just going about daily life. It also pairs seamlessly with iPhone and feels like a truly premium wearable.
Performance is top-tier: the watch runs smoothly with fast responsiveness, and fitness tracking (from steps to advanced workouts) is reliable and intuitive. The cellular connectivity is a big plus — I can send messages, take calls, and stream music without needing my phone nearby, which adds so much freedom when I’m out and about.
Battery life is impressive too — I get a full day of use easily, and even with sleep tracking it still makes it through the next morning without urgent charging. The health features, including daily sleep score insights and notifications, help me stay on top of my wellness goals.
If there’s any tiny nitpick, it’s that with so many features packed in, some advanced settings take a little time to explore and personalize — but that’s more about getting familiar than any real issue.
In short: this Apple Watch Series 11 delivers on style, functionality, and everyday usefulness. It’s perfect for anyone who wants a premium smartwatch experience with the added independence of cellular connectivity.

I bought my new Apple Watch at a great end of year sale price plus traded in my old Apple phone and applied 2 rewards I saved a total of $165 on a $400 watch. The store representative was very helpful and knowledgable. I used the Best Buy credit card which has a very generous rewards program. For courteous service and best prices, Best Buy is the Best.
My new series 11 Watch had to be ordered and was delivered the next day to my home. Setup has very good instructions. I also have a Geek Squad plan that gives me great service when needed.services for all my electronics. I appreciate Best Buy and enjoy the experience.

I had an apple watch 7 so I am familiar with this item. It arrived quickly with shipping updates so I could be home to receive it. The watch is excellent. Very easy to set up and use. Charging is east and I was able to get my number share swapped but needed Verizon to assist in this process. I liked the fact that I could get Apple care in the same transaction as the watch purchase. The Best Buy purchase was flawless. Thank you!!

I have a lot of Apple watches, but this is the ultimate watch that I bought from Best Buy plus the price was unbelievable compared to other places that I have gone to so if you're looking for a watch that has everything this is the one and the best place to buy is Best Buy. They treated me like no one else could ever do.

The best Apple Watch I have owned. The battery is excellent. I needed a watch I could wear both day and night. I have sleep apnea and this is perfect. Charges fast and back on my wrist. Now wear my watch 11 and hours every day and night.
