    I love this Apple Watch. No it is not the newest but it gets the job done and is great for tracking your workouts and responding to your text messages. You can even use it to take a photo of yourself from your phone.

    This by far has been my favorite workout tool. Unlike other devices this one allows you to track different types of workouts, control your music from your wrist and still receive notifications without having to check your phone each time. The best part is I can swim with it.

    I loved this watch! Very good for tracking thing and very beneficial when not having your phone at the moment. If you have a small wrist I recommend getting this one, it the perfect size.

    This was better than I thought. I always wanted an Apple Watch but wasn’t a fan that I couldn’t actually text using a keypad on the screen. You have to either talk back to it or draw each letter out. I still wish that was the case but talking back actually works perfect. The watch understands me better than my phone. I also got the one without cellular and I still can answer the phone from my watch. I’m not sure the direct distance but the phone was downstairs and I was in my bedroom and it worked! I had a whole 3 minute conversation. I was very surprised. I also like the feel of it. Not too bulky and not too small. If you don’t want to spend $200 at once, use Klarna. That’s what I did and it made it seem less like a huge purchase. Very happy.

    I bought this for my boyfriend for his birthday. He loves it. He has been wanting one for a while but has always been hesitant about spending that much money on something he didn't know if he'd use often. Well he uses it everyday and loves it. He is a big Pokemon go player and also uses it to track his exercise as well as it's nice he can see messages and get directions while driving without having to reach for his phone.

    Replaced Fitbit Charge 2

    The Fitbit platform is great for simplicity and ease of use. The Charge 2 reached its end of life due to heavy wear and tear so I decided to upgrade to the Apple Watch. Steeper learning curve but it’s great to be able to reply to texts from the watch. I wish the sleep tracking was as good as Fitbit but I found an app that is similar.

    I wasn’t very big on the watch but once I started using it I quickly realized how handy it is. Especially for me working in a hospital where I can’t be pulling out my phone often.

    Decided to buy my daughter an Apple Watch. I wasn’t sure if he would wear it so I wanted to start with a lower model. She absolutely loves it… Has pretty much all the features of the newer watches, and looks great to.

    Series 3 is fantastic! It's water resistant, so you can go swimming or get it wet, and it does all of the things that you'd expect of a fitness tracker (exercise monitoring, step counting, etc). I love the little reminders to get up and move during the day.

    I’ve had my watch now for a little over 7 months. I love the white band it came with. I don’t wear my watch 24/7, I usually only wear it if I’m going to work or out and about for the day. It came with 2 bands they are different sizes.the band that came attached to the watch originally was too small for my wrist but the bigger size was in the box and fit perfectly. Since my band is white I do not wear it while I’m fixing my make up EVER because make up stains usually. ONE MAJOR RECOMMENDATION is to get your watch with both GPS & CELLULAR. I know there is a price difference but I 100% feel that the watch would be more beneficial for you if it had both. Due to the price difference when ordering mine (which it may have been $100) difference at the time I only purchases the GPS. And I regret not just getting both because you will have to be near your cell phone for your watch with only GPS to have any kind of cellular data. I catch myself at work when I leave the office and go to a different floor trying to check my watch in the elevator and respond quickly but I can’t send it due to the connect to my phone being interrupted from the distance between me and my cell phone In the office. So BUY BOTH GPS AND CELLULAR. I also like the water protection given on this device Incase you worry sweat or liquid got under or around your watch it’s easy to access and the easy customizable home screens and lock screen options. If you don’t have an iPhone I more than likely wouldn’t recommend purchasing a Apple Watch, I’m a Apple FREAK and I get only apple products so if your like me then I recommend.

    I've been wanting to get an Apple watch for quite awhile, but didn't want to spend $300. When Best Buy had this one on sale for $200, I had to get it. So far I am very impressed. The health tracking it does is awesome. The first time I got on my elliptical after I bought the watch, my wrist vibrated and it sensed that I was doing a workout on my elliptical and asked if I wanted to track it. Pretty cool. Same with taking a walk. I've always exercised regularly, but now that I am getting notices about goal achievement, I'm working out even more. I'm a golfer, and downloaded the free hole 19 app and used it to play a round of golf. Worked perfectly with more features than my Golf Buddy wrist GPS. It's also great for quickly responding to texts and picking up a call without pulling the phone out. Overall very happy!

    Won Over By The Apple Watch

    I have had my Apple Watch 3 for almost a year and I love it. When I first purchased it I was worried I was going to be disappointed I had spent my money on what I thought was a luxury item. But soon it became an indispensable part of my life. I realized that the first time I accidentally left it at home when I went to work. I missed its features I had become accustomed to using, Duo for 2 factor, quick glance in a meeting to see a Slack message or single tap on my wrist to let my wife know I couldn’t talk at the moment. It makes doing a lot of things just easier than reaching into my pocket to get my phone. I purchased both the series 3 and the series 4, but didn’t think the series 4’s enhancements were worth the extra $200, so I returned it and kept the series 3.

    My wife has been wanting a smart watch for a while now. She already has an iPhone so we first looked at the new apple watches. We didn’t need to look any further. This had everything she wanted and more. She likes to keep track of steps, quickly see who’s calling or texting her, and be able to have something that looks great on the wrist. I’m an android guy myself, but happy wife happy life. :)
