    This is a great little device. It does a very nice job as a watch, and is an extremely handy extension of my iPhone. I have extra bands to change the look, simply because it’s so easy to swap them out.

    I was very skeptical about purchasing the Apple Watch, as it is pricey! However, I purchased the watch and was planning on returning within 14 days if I wasn't completely satisfied! It's been a little over a month and I am hooked! It's a definite upgrade to my Fitbit, as I primarily purchased the watch for its activity tracking features. I like that the Watch can be personalized, including screen displays with my newborns pictures. Some reviews I read prior to the purchase mentioned the poor battery life. I charge my watch every night and have had no issues. As I like to post the most honest reviews, I feel I should mention there are a few things I do not care for. 1. Compared to the Samsung watch, I feel like Apple Watch does not look as nice. This is a preference for sure, as I like the traditional round face of other watches. 2. When I walk pushing my baby in the stroller, even while using the exercise app and the GPS is tracking my location, this does not sync with the exercise counter. Sometimes I will walk at a speed of 3.5 for 6 miles and it will say I only exercised for 15-20 minutes. In apple support, it mentions if you are pushing a stroller yet using the workout app, the exercise minutes should be counted, which is not the case.This is frustrating but I can overlook it. 3. My husband has the G3 and I really like that you can answer an incoming call on the watch, without your phone near by. This is a great feature as I teach around a large college campus and do not always carry my phone. Hopefully Apple will include this feature on the next Apple Watch addition. If anyone is wondering why I choose the Apple Watch instead of the galaxy watch, as I mentioned galaxy watches above, I have an iPhone and do like the iPhone more then galaxy phones. Overall I still love my smart watch and am just hoping Apple makes a few changes to the next edition.

    Does way more than I ask of it! As a flight attendant, it's a must have, or for anyone that travels for work, and it's great for reminders and alarms on my wrist rather than in a purse or pocket. Waterproof version is a must have if you swim, and I've had no problems with it at all. The only "con" I can put on it is the learning curve, so non-techies beware, you have to have a lot of patience and be willing to invest the time to acquaint yourself with the watch. Note: I bought this as a Best Buy open box deal and I think it was most likely purchased as a gift and returned for a different color, as there was no signs of any use, scratching and all accessories were included, making it a super deal!

    I love my watch! I got this watch to replace my Garmin for running. It has a GPS, heart rate monitor and works with all of my apps I use to run. It has also replaced my Fitbit because this tracks my activity throughout the day. I love how everything is right on my wrist and I don't have to carry my phone while working out! Another plus? It is waterproof up to 50 m. I have not tested the full capabilities of the water feature, but I feel comfortable getting it wet in the shower.

    I didn't really think I would use some of the smart watch features but wanted a watch that I could use to track activity when swimming laps as well as other workouts. The iWatch series 2 meets does this and more. After having the watch 3 weeks I find I am using more and more of the features each day. Warning completing the activity target can become addictive, which is not a bad thing, especially some of the reminders like take a moment to breathe or stand up and move.

    I put off buying this product as I didn’t want to be notified constantly. However, I enjoy being able to quickly see who emailed or texted. I turned off the sound which made it even better. I wish there was a built-in step counter, but counting steps isn’t that important to me. I know I get a lot and I can always use a third party app if needed. Overall, I am glad I purchased.

    Granddaughter loves her Apple Watch

    This was purchased for my granddaughter. She absolutely loves it! I does everything she wants it to do. I figured it would be something she "thought" she had to have, only to put it away when the new wore off. Not the case at all. It seems to be very convenient to be able to see who is calling or texting by just looking at your wrist. I would think it would be useful for just about anyone. It was purchased as an open box item, and there have been no issues at all.

    More handy than I expected

    I've been on-and-off about getting an Apple Watch for over a year, but when the new one came out I finally caved (I thought the waterproofing feature and GPS were worth the extra cost). I wanted to be able to get phone calls/texts/alerts where I work (in a science lab, wearing a lab coat, with my phone somewhat inaccessible even if I do remember to bring it along with me from my desk outside the lab). The bluetooth range is good enough to allow it to stay connected to my phone at my desk while I'm in the lab, and it's been really convenient for giving quick replies to people without having to exit the lab. I can even have a phone conversation with someone if I need to through the watch, which I love. I also love the quick timer function, having weather at a glance, and the fitness/activity tracker. Overall I'm using it for a lot of things I didn't predict, and actually it has helped me reduce my screen time on my phone because I already know the messages I have (since the notifications get sent to the watch) and that prevents me from getting distracted by other apps after unlocking my phone to look at messages. Overall very nice functionality, and it looks nice too! I'm not a watch person, but I'm got used to wearing it very quickly. I replaced the band immediately so I can't comment on that. Lastly, the only negative I can say about it so far is that it appears to get damaged relatively easily. I'm a bit clumsy sometimes, and since I wasn't used to wearing a watch I banged it into something (my washer door); surprisingly it left a small (almost unnoticeable, but I can feel it) scratch in the screen! I'm much more careful now, but I was very startled by this. Hopefully it doesn't happen again, but if you're very clumsy you may want to go for the stronger screen material (sapphire) on the higher-end Apple Watches.

    Apple Watch Series 2 is definitely an upgrade from the first watch. The response time alone is worth it. Added bonus is the water resistance (up to a certain amount of feet/meters of course).

    This watch is great. It's gps functionality allows for you to take runs without having to carry your phone with you. Its provides all of my important reminders and texts quietly right to my wrist. It's also waterproof so swimmers take advantage of this features. Only thing to get accustomed to is charging on a daily basis. One full charge will usually last me about a day and a half maybe two depending on how heavy I use it. Overall great watch.

    Love design, size and color (rose gold). BUT needs instruction manual with pictures!!! Much easier to follow! I think a manual would have saved 2 trips to Best Buy for help. My husband and I found the online setup instructions unclear at best!

    I already owned the previous Apple Watch so this was just a upgrade for me. I went from the all black sport watch to the white band watch and I actually like it. I was afraid the band would be really dirty all the time but it actually doesn't hold dirt as much as I thought. I spilled paint on it and just took the bands off and washed them and it was no problem. Honestly if you don't want to use the watch for running or swimming, the 1st Gen will be just fine.
