    Happy with the Series 3

    It was a Christmas gift for my wife. She loves it so far. She uses it often to ping her iPhone when she can't find it. That comes in very handy. I wasn't sure if the series 3 would seem outdated in comparison to the newer ones, but it has surpassed my expectations so far. This is a good device to start using with smart watches. If you don't have any experience with the newer series, then you don't really need to spend the extra $ for the latest features. This model does have to be paired with your iPhone and be within Bluetooth range in order to receive calls and messages. It does not require any additional cell or data plan! So far, my wife has not had any issues with the range in and around our home.

    I had been looking at the iwatch for about a year & when it went on sale, I decided to get it. I am happy with alerts, multiple watch faces, ease of use, etc. The one thing that I need to figure out is the exercise tracking. I walk a minimum of 60 minutes a day. It will say I exercised anywhere from 2 - 20 minutes and is very inconsistent. Either way it is much less than I am actually exercising. This & the fact that there are not many apps for it, keep me from giving it a 5.

    I saved my rewards to purchase this, so I paid very little for it. It has not been a let down at all, it was so worth waiting for. I use an iPhone and haven't had any issues with it pairing back up to it when I have been out of range of my phone. You can completely silence it if your at the movies where it wont go off at all, or you can set it to vibrate or make sounds. I have taken phone calls on it and it has really good sound, mines just wifi and connected to my watch, no cellular. I have used the talk to text on it to respond back, and also used the write feature on it to text back, both work great! I use maps from time to time and depending on the sound setting whether it will ding or vibrate for your turns. It will play music from your phone on it, I don't use the feature because theres not a lot of space on it.

    It’s a great way to track all your daily workouts. It’s nice not to have to pull my phone out of my pocket when I get a text, just look at the watch and read it. Then decide if I need to reply right away or wait

    Set up of watch was super simple. I wanted something that would push me to meet my exercise goals and keep me on track/accountable. I was easily able to deactivate or add features that were specific to my needs. I wear my watch every day and I love it!

    I got this for my wife as her series 1 wasn’t up to snuff any longer, especially for tracking workouts. She loves it! There really was a big difference as I still have my series 1 and the series 3 tracks more accurately when we do the same activities

    Was informed a few days before Christmas that my shopping was not done. Wife had just gotten the iPhone X so the iWatch made perfect sense. She loves it! Especially with the pink band which is incredibly soft. Got the 38mm because of the size. Perfect gift!

    I always have my apple phone with me so I didn’t think I would also need an Apple Watch, however, I was finding times I could not look at or answer my phone While at work and missed a call from my home alarm company and I need to know the time. I decided to by an older version to not spend as much money to give it a try and I love it. The display is hard to read without my glasses is my only negative and you have to move your wrist a certain way to light up the display which I knew when I purchased this model. I will eventually upgrade to the latest model and a bigger screen. I think if I had known how much I would love it I would have just put the money towards the latest one but I am happy!

    For me, key advantage of Series 3 vs Series 1 is that it is waterproof. Now I don't need to worry about my watch accidentally getting wet. I can also now use it for fitness tracking my swimming. Just in case, I purchased AppleCare for this watch.

    The Apple Watch is a great accessory that performs well. The series 3 is fast and offers all that I need. I purchased 38 mm because I wanted it to fit my wrist better and I have large hands. It still is big enough, even for mommy aging eyes ;-)

    I loved my Apple Watch and when my 3 year old Apple watch broke I purchased a new (3) one. The watch itself is great BUT the crummy band is an entirely different story. Not only is it a cheap, ugly. plastic band it is impossible for me to put on. Why in the world would Apple put such a band on an expensive watch? I gave up and had to spend an additional $50 to purchase a band that I can work with. I should not have bought it without opening the box to look at it first.

    This watch is a great tool to integrate with the iPhone. It has multiple features that help with multitasking and the notifications alert the user as to whether there is an importance to the incoming messages or not. Seamless integration with the phone.

    My wife was very happy with this watch. I had originally bought her a series 2 and it was time for an upgrade. I have since traded this one in for a series 6, but it was a good watch for when she had it.
