This is one of the best smart watch in the market, as expected from apple it brings the comfort of everyday activities to your wrist and at a touch if a fingerprint. The water resistance and built in GPS are great upgrades from the previous generations

I bought this watch as a gift for my husband. We are Apple fans and love the products. The watch is another win. It’s easy to use, easy to personalize, stuff is great for activity tracking as well as receiving calls/texts and using other data services.

Didn't Know I Could Love a Watch So Much

I'll be honest, I only used watches in the past to tell time and give me the date. When my last watch (a dive watch) turned out not to be as waterproof as advertised, I decided to try a smartwatch for the first time. You don't understand how useful this thing can be until you use it. Most useful are the text message notifications, being able to take a call on the watch if necessary, reminders of when to turn when navigation (Apple maps) is on, calendar notifications, etc. I set mine to vibrate only, so there's no sound, and it keeps the phone from beeping when connected to the watch. The activity tracker is very helpful and useful, and a lot of apps have watch versions as well (although many more could and should). I use this thing every day, and the battery will last two days (or nearly two) in case I go somewhere overnight and forget to bring a charger.

Got this for $100 off for my wife when the series 3 came out. The series 2 is perfect for our needs as I don’t need or wish to pay more to phone companies for LTE for a watch. Series 2 has a much brighter screen, better battery life and a GPS.

I thought about buying this watch for months before I took the dive and just bought it. I struggled because I never really got into wearing watches and I was concerned I just wouldn’t use it. But my curiosity got the best of me and I’m so happy that it did. I work in a very busy doctors office, and JUST at work, I’m walking 35 miles a week and I love that this keeps track of everything for me. Also, I hate carrying my phone in my scrubs so I can leave it on my desk and run around the entire building with no loss of pairing so I never miss anything that comes up. My father is a diabetic and I’m his only emergency contact, so I always struggled with either not knowing when I’d get a call or message, or trying to find a second to pull my phone out and check: this watch eliminates that worry.

I absolutely love this Apple Watch. It is easy to use, has great battery life and just another great apple product. I definitely recommend the 42mm, even for females. It's the perfect size and the rose gold makes it dainty. Love!

Series 2 is a good smartwatch with built-in GPS and water resistant. The specs is not that different from Series 3 but a jump from Series 1. It is a good time to own Series 2 and augment activity tracking throughout the day.

Was very hesitant about the watch. I had a fitbit that I used for running before this watch, and was not happy with it. The GPS in the Apple Watch is very accurate, and I love the different features with it.

Love this watch! I use it to track my fitness, as a timer at work, communication, navigating, and to keep track of time zones when I travel. It is light weight and makes communication and navigating easy.

My 16 year old daughter absolutely LOVES her apple watch! Thankfully a salesman in the Exton, PA Best Buy located the watch and assured me that it would be here in time for Christmas (several other retailers...Apple, other Best Buys, and target told me it was out of stock until January). She uses it everyday and loves all of its features. It was easy to set up and seems to hold a charge fine.

More waterproof than Series 1, longer lasting battery, GPS works great, downloading songs/playlists to the watch is a bit labor intensive, but it's what you'd expect from a 2nd Gen Apple product. If you're a serious runner, swimmer, cyclist, etc, there may be better and more thorough smart watches out there (Garmin) for your sporting needs. But for typical everyday use with notifications/alarms/reminders, and some special features for weekend warriors, it's pretty solid.

Nice watch.Good quality. Full of options/Features. Also liked the fact that I don’t have to reach in my pocket to know who’s calling me or to read my text messages anymore. Good job Apple

I wanted some good multi-purpose watch for running and for everyday activity, but the Apple Watch has exceeded all my expectations. The display is great, the interface intuitive enough, the GPS works great, the pulse meter works great, the tracking of activity is excellent, the notification of texts and emails is good, and so on. The watch is elegant and fits very well on my wrist. And the battery easily lasts for 3 full days before it needs recharging.

Time To Move Forward

When the Apple watch came out, I thought it would be crazy to buy a watch that cost $300+. I had about 10 watches ranging in price from $20-$80 from years ago and I actually hadn't worn one for about 15 years. I felt the face would be to small for anything except telling time, so a "smart" watch would be a waste of time. Then I started to see friends with Apple watches and Fitbits and started getting curious. The curiosity turned to interest and ultimately into a purchase.
I primarily use my Apple watch to check email and text messages. I had grown tired of trying to pull my iPhone out of my pants pocket or unplugging it from the car charger just to see who was trying to reach me. The convenience of the Apple watch is significant. Plus, I use an iPhone and a MacBook Pro, so the integration between the three is wonderful. Oh, and it's pretty easy to see what I need on the face!
I've found myself monitoring my Activity and checking my heart rate just for fun. It's great for getting a quick score update for any of my favorite teams (Steelers, Pirates, Penguins, WVU, Ohio State), checking my calendar or seeing what the temperature is outside. All of this without having to fish for my iPhone.
I'm becoming very comfortable with having it guide me through directions since it integrates with the Maps app on my iPhone. A little vibration on my wrist reminds me that a turn is coming up even when I have the radio cranked up and can't here Siri on my iPhone. It's helped me avoid several missed exits on the road.
All in all, I'm extremely pleased with my purchase. It is a significantly more expensive "watch" than I ever expected to purchase, but is it really a watch?? :)

Absolutely love my apple watch. I wear it everyday and would feel naked without it. I actually answer my texts much more quickly now because they are right on my wrist. Also great when riding my motorcycle for gps directions. I thought having to charge it everynight would be a hassle but it is just like charging your phone. Worn it swimming with no issues either. It's also great for keeping track of you excercise and hitting new goals.

This replaced my original Apple Watch. Battery life seems much better and the increased water resistance is welcome peace of mind. Nice upgrade overall and great price on sale.
