    First smart watch for a family member. Easy to install and connect to her phone. She has quickly started using the functionality. Specially used for working out.

    GPS workout tracking and notification checking

    This was one of my favorite purchases from the last few years. I had no desire for the higher priced latest model, but this one worked really well for what I use it for. It is great for tracking workouts, including mapping routes with GPS. I have used it for running, biking, and sailing successfully. And second, it's really great for checking phone notifications, 90% of which are not worth doing anything with anyway. Only real complaint is that the nicer faces are arbitrarily disabled for the 3. It would be nice to have the Infograph face on the 3.

    I bought this for my daughter because her Fitbit was dying. This series 3 watch looked decent and had a lot of features and upgradeable options with it. Plus, it was on sale. In comparison to the series 4, the differences are not dramatic. The series 4 is probably ideal for an older adult for the additional options that were put in it. But the series 3 watch is perfectly fine. I did not get the one that has cellular connectivity so you can’t just leave the phone at home and only bring the watch if you need to make calls. Other than that my daughter loves the Apple Watch and I think it is going to be an expensive future. :-)

    I had the Versa 2 before buying this watch. This watch is head and shoulders above of the Versa. It has so many options. I was surprised by how much it does. I’m extremely pleased with this purchase. The price was under $200 and the watch works great. The work out features are amazing. The exercise rings are a great challenge every day that I didn’t think I’d use but now strive to finish daily. I have the date, time, weather, calculator, messages, fitness, and location all on the home face of the war h. Save money and but this instead of the series 5. It has everything you need!

    It's a really good device for the price, and if you're not expecting a whole lot then you'll enjoy it as well. Where it shines is the seamless integration with your iPhone, and the convenience it adds. Such as health tracking, notifications, answering calls, changing/lowering music, sending voice messages etc.

    This watch is for a family member, but we have a few apple watches. I am still using the original Apple Watch. It is slower, but still works fine. The series 3 is very quick and a nice watch. Having an Apple Watch to get notifications on and respond to is very helpful. You don't have to pull your phone out every time you get a text or call. It is great to be able to just glance at your wrist. All the different watch faces are fun and useful. I create different faces for doing different things. Like I have one when I workout that has apps I use while working out on the face so they are quick to get to. Thinks like that make the watch very useful.

    Advantages to owning an Apple Watch

    This is my first Apple watch. I found a YouTube tutorial which was a great help in understanding the functions of the watch and setting it up. I mainly wanted it to track my activity and steps. It syncs with my Weight Watchers app and gives me Fit Points. I can receive phone calls and text notification but prefer to take the calls and read texts on my phone when I return home from my work out, shopping, etc. This is just the right amount of technology for me to stay in touch with family and friends without having my phone in my hand all the time.

    I love my new watch and the amount of versility it brings. However, I wish the battery life was better as I tend to need to charge it once a day and if I sleep in it to monitor my sleep cycles then I charge on my way to work just to make sure it will last through my 12 hour shift. Overall, I like it.

    This watch has been a great value and a great companion in owning an iPhone. Before owning an iPhone I had an android phone and had a Samsung watch but when I switched the compatibility between my old watch and iPhone wasn’t as great as I wanted it to be so once I traded in my old watch for the new Apple Watch it was a great experience my Watch contacts call and sometimes even read emails this is a great place for any iPhone is you’re looking to have another device. It’s especially great if you have the cellular option so you can leave your iPhone at home and not have to worry about calls or texts
