    Best smartwatch out there, but not perfect

    I love this watch. Very versatile. Water resistant. There is so much that you can do with it. I use it to manage notifications, take calls while driving, for fitness tracking, and to pay for stuff with Apple Pay. The battery life lasts me all day. I do wish that the screen was larger, that the watch was thinner, and that it tracked sleep. This particular version of the watch scratches a little too easily. While the performance is solid most of the time, I wish that the watch worked faster and downloaded data more quickly sometimes. iMessage messages sometimes don't send and then are unable to be re-sent, something that needs to be fixed in the software.At 400 dollars, it's also a little too expensive. I think 300 dollars is more in line with what it offers, compared to the competition. Overall, if you have an iPhone (the best phone), this is THE smartwatch to get (making it the best smartwatch). Other products may track more things but this integrates with your iPhone in a way no other product will.

    I wasn't sure if I would like this or not but I picked one up to use as a training watch for running as I didn't want to carry my phone around on runs. I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked the watch. I really like this series 2 watch for its GPS capabilities. I also like the notifications and the ability to answer calls and texts on this when my phone is nearby but not within reach. There are many other features on this watch too numerous to mention that make it superior to a Fitbit or a GPS watch.

    I dipped my toes into the wearable tech market with a "used" pebble from Amazon Warehouse deals around Christmas, paid $20, wasn't sure if I'd like it. Well, I LOVED IT! It was great getting notifications, and not having to take my phone out of my pocked 50 times a day to see what's new! My family surprised me with an Apple Watch about a month after getting the Pebble and WOAH. What a piece of technology. LOVE the apple watch, love the activity tracker, the notifications, the ability to load music on it to run without a phone (paired w/ Bluetooth headphones). I love using siri to get directions, or text via voice, especially when it's not opportune to pull out my phone. Calling from it is actually surprisingly good also. My favorite part aside from the fitness tracking, is just seeing all your alerts on your watch, and being able to pick and chose when you need to pull out your phone, or if it can wait. I've actually been on my phone quite a bit less since getting the watch. Battery Life: battery lasts up to two days - that's without a GPS jog/ride. Otherwise, it's a solid day. On thing I've noticed is my phone battery lasts quite a bit less time - like probably 25% less - but it's an OK trade off, it lasts all day, still (iPhone 6+) What I don't like is there isn't a native spotify app that allows syncing music to the watch- they force you into apple music if you want to load music onto the watch and listen to music without your phone. That said, there is an unofficial spotify app in the works (google it). Another kind of shocker was there's not a native sleep tracking app? Why? $50 fitbits have this - this should not be missing. It's also very fragile - I dropped it onto concrete from 3 ft up, and cracked the screen - fortunately for apple care, I was able to get it replaced ($70 later). TL;DR: Great watch, missing sleep tracker, no official spotify app to load music onto watch, BUY APPLE CARE ($50 - can buy within 60 days of purchase via apple website). I don't want to go a day without it; definitely a life enhancing item. Once you have one, you won't want to go without.

    We have been wanting something that would track our fitness goals plus be able to manage our phone apps during workouts. The IWatch is it! I can sweat without worrying about it malfunctioning. Swim, run, bike, indoor workouts, you name it you can do it with this watch. It stores fitness goals and helps me message and answers calls from kids if I need to without stopping my workout. Best Buy always has the best prices on them. We caught it on sale. It shipped fast and haven't regretted it.

    Bought this to be able to better track my fitness. I was not happy with my FitBit when it fell apart and was looking to be able to track my workouts without having to carry my phone. This allows me to do this, plus have music on my watch that I can listen to with my Bluetooth earbuds. Having notification on my arm is a plus too. I find that I am less distracted by my phone now. The Best Buy team gave my wife and I a great overview of the watch and some app suggestions. Very helpful!

    At first I thought I'd never wear this type of watch, but then I was given this as a gift and I'm glad it was. It Looks pretty stylish, had a great feel and Definitely comes in handy. Wether I'm working or driving and I receive a text/call, I can simply look at my wrist and see who it is instead of taking the phone out of my pocket or take my eyes off the road. Also wore it while in the pool for a few hours and it's still"ticking". Definitely recommend

    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.

    I learnt my lesson with apple watch that it releases every year with functionality you cannot ignore. This time I went for the lowest end instead of my first gen which was $750. This watch is good for water events/running(has gps) and no need to worry to remove for swimming or heavy rain etc. That was my major reason to buy. Also, it is bright and not a whole lot to dump first gen if swimming and running is not your interest. Any day it is the best smart watch.

    Improvement with GPS and Battery Life

    I had previously had the first Apple watch as a gift. This Apple 2 has improved battery life. With my use I find the battery will last about 2 days before charging which is a definite improvement over the first version. The GPS feature for tracking workouts I find to be accurate and unlike my Garmin watch, there is no delay in picking up sats. As I am not an elite athlete, the metrics are reasonable to track performance on my runs and/or walks.

    I had been pondering purchasing an Apple Watch after my Pebble Time 2 broke and I have to say that I am extremely happy with my purchase. Yes, it's a bit expensive, but it just works. I haven't had any problems with it. Syncing content from your phone to your watch can be a bit cumbersome and slow at times, but it's a minor annoyance. After an update to the watch, I can get about 2 days on a charge, significantly more than before the update.

    I was unsure if an Apple Watch would be for me. I had actually gotten away from wearing watches. If set up easily and operated seamlessly. Like all other Apple devices it was quite intuitive to use. I couldn't stand the fact, however that I was always connected. If I left my phone in another room and got a call I was always checking my watch to see who it was. This is the reason I had to return it. Five stars for design and function.

    I was one of those people who thought, "why do I need notifications on my watch when I get them on my phone?" Well, I have found it is far easier and far less distracting to briefly check my watch than it is to look at my phone. Also, I love the activity and sleep tracking. Battery life is far better than I expected. And it is crazy that I can check stock market activity while I am in the shower (yes, I wear my watch in the shower).

    This watch is perfect for my needs. Not not does it have built in GPS and is water resistant it also gives me text, phone calls and email without having to pull out my phone each time. I like the fitness features which allows me to set a particular workout like running, cycling or ellipitcal etc. and it tracks calories and distance and even heart rate . It also looks great and the look can change by purchasing different bands

    My 16 year old son loves the watch. This is his second one as he preordered the first one when the Apple Watch was just released. The battery works great, lasts for days, is water resistant and he loves all the features it has. Of course all kids want the latest and greatest, but we couldn't see spending the extra money on the 3 when the 2 has everything he wants. He totally loves it and it does everything he wants!!

    I use my Apple watch mostly for checking texts and emails, particularly while at work or in a meeting. Its a simple way to glance down and see what messages you have or who is trying to call you on the phone. But most importantly, it is a great tool for tracking your exercise, especially my daily walks and runs to include steps and calories. And finally, it helps by keeping you posted on breaking news and twitter alerts!

    I purchased an Apple Watch Series 2 42mm in Space Gray Aluminum Case and have to say that it was a GREAT investment. All my phone features are available on my wrist on the go. Notifications keep you updated without having to check your phone every 5 minutes. Battery life is good for a few days depending on usage, and being able to personalize it makes it that much better. Overall a must have if you're an iPhone user.

    I was on the fence about upgrading from my original 1st generation Apple watch to the series 2 but I can tell you it's worth every penny! I should have done it sooner. Series 2 is NOTICABLY faster. Much faster startup time, apps open and function more quickly. Brighter screen is crisper and easier to see in light conditions. The GPS and waterproof features are nice but the performance increase is worth the price alone.

    Apple Watch Series 2 Gold 42mm

    Apple Watch series 2 is totally worth the extra money compared to series 1. The brighter screen is much better while viewing in sunlight. The GPS is also nice to have. I can go on a run and not have to have my iPhone with me. If you go swimming or get it wet you don't have to worry about it. Just turn the Digital Crown and the speaker will blast out any remaining water. Overall very satisfied with Apple Watch Series 2 42mm.
