I use many of the features frequently, especially the cardio and health apps. I'm also a big fan of knowing the weather in various locations so this watch is perfect for that.

The lighting for the series 2 with SS bracelet gave it a smoked look. However when I received it it was a space grey. It's kind of grown on me the bezel is bigger than the series 1. However, for me I like it better with the OEM SS bracelet it gives it a more sophisticated look.

The stainless steel addition Apple watch series two is a beautiful piece. The sapphire crystal display, the crown, it all feels top notch. The stainless steel band is what ruined it for me. Although nice to look at and feels fine on the wrist the price hike that it causes is hardly worth it. The band is easy to adjust. I just couldn't get over seeing the same watch with a different band 50% cheaper. I wish I could justify the cost but for my friends to have the same functionality and look at half the price or less makes this purchase hard to recommend. The watch is a piece of electronics that will be outdated sooner than a classic watch. I recommend reconsidering the convenience of reading your text messages on your wrist at the 1k cost.

I absolutely love my apple watch. I love get instant email, call and text notifications. I don't even use it for the sports related functions. However, I regret paying $449 for the watch band. I would recommend getting the stainless steel case but getting the $50 fluorelastomer apple band. I bought some of these after buying the watch and use them more than the expensive band. The expensive band scratches really easy. If you do anything physical like shoot basketball, the watch band pinches you too. Make your own decisions but now I think a $449 TV or a new game system may have been a better use of my money. Got this within two days of ordering. That is hard to beat. The apple store had a 3 week wait to get the watch. If the item is currently out of stock, sign up for in stock notifications.

I purchased product (Apple Watch) with a little trepidation after reading several reviews. All in all it's a great product! I like it a lot! The stainless steel band does scratch. This's does not bother me as much as others. I like the look of the stainless steel.

Great Product. However, it locked up on me the 2nd day I owned it and I had to reset the Watch and start over. I'm also having difficulty getting photos from OneDrive to display on the Watch. It appears OneDrive is difficult to operate on the Apple Watch.

Best smart watch I have owned. Love the black stainless steel. Very pretty. I got an extra sport band and only wear the link strap when I want to be fancy.

I love this watch. I like how you can customize the face of the watch. It being waterproof just makes this purchase a no brainer for me.

The newest version of the Apple Watch is water-resistant. I don't bother to take off my watch when washing the dishes, and I never worry about tinkering with it in the rain.

Purchased the Apple Watch for my husband. He needed a professional-looking watch to wear to work, and the stainless steel link band dresses it up nicely!
