    This is my second iwatch and I love them. I track my calories burned, steps taken/miles, minutes exercised and standing hours per day. I also log my bike riding and swimming. Getting texts are easy and using the mic to text back is fun. Answering the phone like Dick Tracy still surprises people around me. I enjoy not having to get my phone. Checking the weather is a breeze.

    You know for it being being almost $500. I was hoping for a little more. I was under the impression that I could use this for PokémonGo and still no luck. There isn't that many apps available for the watch. If you use it very often during the day, by three fourth of the day it's nearly dead. Maps, texting, and talking is the most useful thing. I also like that I can ping my phone, if I ever feel I lost my phone. The sensors are a lot better than the first addition but I still think it's off a tad, especially the exercise judgement. Would I purchase this again? I would have waited till Black Friday where it drops $100 or so.

    It's hard to laud this watch enough. I upgraded from the first model and am happy I did. The added features of GPS and water proofing convinced me to spend the money and I'm extremely happy I did. Runs now are completely hands free as i can leave my phone behind and pair the watch with wireless headphones. Like all Apple products, the mechanics of this things are smooth and sleek. If fitness tracking is what you want, this is a great product.

    I purchased this watch because my first generation Apple Watch was destroyed after I took a bath with it. With generation 2, water is no longer a problem and makes this watch more convienent as no worries about getting it wet. Another, upgrade that nice is the inclusion of GPS in the watch, so you don't have to have your iPhone to track movement. Lastly the screen is noticeably brighter than the first gen, which is nice is bright sun. I recommend this watch and am glad I upgraded rather than replace the first generation watch.

    I purchased this after having three Fitbits fail on me within a year. Rather than spending money on another disposable Fitbit I started looking into getting something more reliable. I considered a Garmin Vivosmart HR but didn't like the fact I couldn't change the band since that was one of the weak points of the Fitbit. Having already owned. MacBook for three years, an iPhone for two, an iPad for four I felt I could trust Apple products. The Watch had not disappointed. I chose a series 2 since they are waterproof. This I can attest to as I took a shower with my Watch last night so I could clean the nylon band. I find myself using the Watch for way more than just a fitness tracker. It's become an extension of my phone and allows me to get up and move around the office while keeping my phone plugged into the charger. I have apps to listen to streaming radio and apps to check items off my todo list. I can reply to text messages without touching my phone. In a pinch I can even answer a call while in another room! I found mine as an open box item. If you get the option don't be afraid of them. The Watch looked brand new, everything was in it and it still had the same warranty. I purchased the Apple Care + anyway so I knew if something was wrong it'd be fixed. If you're like me and your phone is an integral part of your life you're going to love Apple Watch.

    Bought this as a gift for my wife. I had some reservations about if she would actually wear it because she never likes wearing things on her wrist. She loves it so much and has surprised me by wearing it everyday. We bought the series 2 version because of its waterproof and gps features. Totally worth the extra money!

    This is my second apple watch. I love that it is waterproof, faster and measures my workouts. I love the choices for bands. The battery lasts longer than the 1st generation, typically staying charged for 3 days. I am very happy with this purchase and give it a 10.

    I swapped out my Microsoft Band 2 for the Apple Watch after they stopped making them (kept having warranty issues). I like the ability to track swims and the wet weather protection (pluses), the other app integration is nice (neutral), but wish it had sleep tracking like the Band did (negative). Battery lasts decently long, even with a high amount of GPS usage.

    Loving the Apple Watch Series 2

    I have found the Apple watch to be so helpful in my regular, normal, everyday person kind of life. Answering calls, checking email, receiving texts, getting a quick answer from Siri - it's all very easy. I've had no problem seeing the display in any lighting condition. I am really happy with the gold finish to match my wedding rings and the tan band with yellow edge. It is very neutral and although I planned to buy several extra bands, I haven't gotten around to thinking about that yet. I ordered it online and received it very quickly. I'm very happy overall with the watch and with the purchase experience from Best Buy!

    My first Apple Watch. I waited for the series 2 for the gps and waterproof additions. Well worth the wait. Now I would like to see Apple add a camera!

    I have enjoyed using my apple watch and the functions it provides. I'm not always available at the office and with the watch I can see messages or calls discretely and determine weather it needs my immediate attention. I have also begun using the fitness features and they work great.

    Love the latest version of Apple Watch

    I purchased the original Apple Watch when it first came out and quickly fell in love, but my biggest complaint was that the battery would never last on my long runs (marathoner). So, when Apple introduced the latest version I couldn't wait to see if they improved the battery life. After talking to several other people who made the switch from the original to latest version they all said the battery life was much improved. I haven't done a 20+ mile run yet, but am hopefully the battery will last based on everyday usage comparison.

    So I bought this for my girlfriend as a early Christmas gift and I have to say the water resistant feature makes this a must buy. She had never swam at the gym before using this Watch, now even in the Winter she swims all the time because of it. If a piece of technology is capable of changing the way you live your life for the better, one should be all about that enhancement. The pixelation on the display is waaaaaay better too. Excuse my emphasis on the word way, but you have to see it to believe it.

    My Apple Watch is more comfortable and more useful than I expected. It fits great. I am using functions that I didn't expect to, like answering calls using the watch instead of getting my phone out, and timing and recording exercise. Before I used to switch between 3 watches for different styles, but now I just wear my Apple Watch every day. . . . and no need to change anything when you go to a different time zone. Most used functions: Watch (duh), timer, activity monitor, calendar.

    I'm fairly active. Gym, martial arts, swimming; but not at a level that dictates some of the more specialized equipment. Apple Watch 2 allows for use while swimming laps, integrates with most of the software I use, so it made sense. All in all, I love it. It encourages me to use some of the more organizational functions of my iPhone, does a reasonable job of tracking my workouts. My only real problem with it is the heart rate sensor seems to object to my arm hair. Multiple times during an intense workout, I have to remove the watch to dry the sensor and my arm for it to keep accurate track of my heart rate. It's a known issue with things like sunscreen or other products, and seems to be that way with fairly dense arm hair. Like I said, though, that's my only complaint.
